The pater told me that he congratulated him on having such a son, and seemed to think Ron quite unusually gifted. It is wonderful how much one man thinks of another man's judgment! We have said the same thing for years past, and it has had no effect; but when a calm, level-headed man of business drops a word, it is accepted as gospel.
Like grim watching sentinels they stood on either side, closing in the Glen in a solitude that was almost awesome to behold. It seemed impossible to believe that twenty- four hours earlier one had been in the great city, and had considered Regent's Park countrified! Margot hurried forward to meet Ron, who was strolling along by himself, the other men of the party being out of sight.
Homer had raised his head painfully and was looking directly at him, unmistakable intelligence in the exhaustion-glazed eyes. The fringed lips curled back, the throat worked. Strange sounds were forced out, growling but not doglike. "Ar-ro ... ar-rik." It was a barely recognizable distortion of "Hello-Warwick." "Ok-all ... orr ... ron." Vocal-cords-wrong? "Im ... ork." Tim-talk?
I'm glad it is not " Margot nodded towards the window, and Ron assented with a lofty superiority "Yes he is not the type! A good sort, no doubt, but hardly an intellectual leader. One could not imagine him writing those grand articles."
I'm thinking we'd have our own troubles getting down there in boats as small as these. In a deep river which is very fast, and which has a rough bottom, all sorts of unaccountable waves and swells will come up from below, just when you don't expect them." "These rapeed in here, she'll been all right," said Moise. "No trouble to ron heem."
"Those were Frenchman words," said Moise. "Parle Pas means 'no speak. He's a quiet rapeed. S'pose you'll ron on the river there, an' smoke a pipe, an' talk, an' not think of nothing. All at once, Boum! You'll been in those rapeed, an' he'll not said a word to you!" "Well," said Rob, "the traders used to run them somehow, didn't they?"
I should like to have breakfast in bed, and a new excitement every single day! We are not all cut out of one pattern, and we are not children any longer, dear. Sometimes you forget that. When you were twenty-three, you were married, and had a home of your own." "Ron is not twenty-one." "When you were twenty-one, did you want your own way, or were you willing for other people to decide for you?"
I feel sure he is sitting in the library, puffing away at his pipe, and feeling absolutely retched. He always does after he has been cross." Ronald's face hardened with youthful disapproval. "Why should you pity him? It's his own fault." "That makes it all the harder, for he has remorse to trouble him, as well as disappointment. You must not be hard on the pater, Ron.
"That senora, she's all right, you bet!" he praised the feat to those who stood near him; "me, I not be stuck on ron my caballo down that place. You bet she's fine rider. My sombrero, he's come off to that lady!" Jean, hearing, glanced at him with that little quirk of the lips which was the beginning of a smile, and rode off to join her father and Lite Avery.
Ron, as usual, had been late in starting, and before the village was reached his watch showed that it was already five minutes past the time when service began.
