But it's a pity that fashion has got hold of the country, and is turning our summers into a worry and a burden. I thought years ago when we went to Lenox that it was a good thing the country was getting to be the fashion; but now it's fashionable, and before we know it every desirable spot will be what they call syndicated. Miss Tavish says she is coming to visit the Hendersons there."
"There is Tavish's cabin. Come. We will see." Mukoki remained with the team. They could hear the dogs whining as they advanced. The cabin took shape in their faces grotesque, dark, lifeless. It was a foreboding thing, that cabin. He remembered in a flash all that the Missioner had told him about Tavish. His pulse was beating swiftly.
Jack replied that the only object of the voyage was to relieve the tedium of Bar Harbor, and, having accomplished this, he would present the vessel to Miss Tavish if she would navigate it back to the city. The golden autumn days by the sea were little disturbed by these echoes of another life, which seemed at the moment to be a very shallow one.
"This is my idea," said the Major, "of going to sea in a yacht; it would be perfect if we were tied up at the dock." "I move that we throw the Major overboard," cried Miss Tavish. "No," Jack exclaimed; "it is against the law to throw anything into the harbor." "Oh, I expected Miss Tavish would throw me overboard when Mavick appeared."
It's all in the way of politics," averred the Senator, out of his own experience. "I have been mayor of Marion, myself!" "With me it's business instead of politics," returned Morrison, gravely. "I don't know anything about politics. Mac Tavish, there, says I don't. And Tavish knows me well. But when I took this job "
I shouldn't wonder if he would like to meet such a man as Henderson." "And then the Van Dams and Miss Tavish; they were at Henderson's, and would help to make it easy." "Yes; well, let's see. The Schuyler Blunts?" "Oh, they wouldn't do at all. They wouldn't come. She wouldn't think of going to the Hendersons'." "But she would come to us. I don't think she would mind once in a way."
Perhaps she was protesting that Julia Tavish was a very, very old friend. To an observer this admirable woman seemed to be on the defensive her most alluring attitude. It was not, one could hear, exactly sober talk; there was laughter and raillery and earnestness mingled. It might be said that they were good comrades. Carmen professed to like good comradeship and no nonsense.
If he had hoped that Father Roland would, at the very last, tell him something more about Tavish, that hope was now gone. The Missioner spoke in a voice that was almost gentle, and he came to David and put a hand on his shoulder as a father might have done with a son. He had placed himself, in this moment, beyond the reach of any questions that might have been in David's mind.
He broke off the arm and the wires and flung them across the room. "There's fight enough on the docket, as the thing stands, without calling in another bunch to make it three-sided, sir! Rellihan, open the door for Mac Tavish! Andy, run to the public booth in the corridor and call Dalton and tell him to pay no attention to any hullabaloo by hysterical women. Tell him I said so!
He shook himself, grumbling under his breath at Mukoki's folly. And then: "The dogs have always acted queerly when Tavish was near," he added in a lower voice. "I can't explain why; they simply do. Instinct, possibly. His presence makes them uneasy. An unusual man, this Tavish. I wish he would come. I am anxious for you to meet him."
