Dunn's words, tone, and manner revealed the great, honest heart of human sympathy which he carried in his big frame. "Oh, hang it," cried Martin, "I suppose so! Guess I'll go along with you. I can't forget you pulled me out, too." "Thanks, old chap," cried Dunn, brightening up, "but you're busy, and " "Busy! By Jingo, you'd think so if you'd watch me over night and hear my brain sizzle.
Don't look at me like that, Rob! I won't have it! But was it not clever of that dear Mr. Rae to extract that letter from the wretched Potts?" "There's the train!" cried Dunn. "Here, Rob, you stay here with me! Where has the young rascal gone!" "Look! Oh, look!" cried Miss Brodie, clutching at Dunn's arm, her eyes wide with terror.
This plan met with great favor in the eyes of the three young people most concerned, and Uncle Steve drove to the caterer's, where he bought a good-sized can of the cold comfort to add to their charitable load. And maybe the Dunns weren't pleased with their gifts! The tears stood in Mrs. Dunn's eyes as she thanked Marjorie and the other girls over and over for their thoughtful kindness.
Could he take Dunn's promised bride, who must have coquetted with him to have brought him to this miserable plight? Was this like the calm, proud young god she knew? Yet she had an uneasy instinct that calm, proud young gods and goddesses did things like this, and felt the weakness of her reasoning flush her own conscious cheek. "Teresa!" She started.
He could imitate anything from Mrs. Johnnie Dunn's car on a steep hill, to the Martins' youngest baby crying. He soon had them all in roars of laughter, and the meeting broke up in much gaiety, and some anxiety on the part of the girls as to their ability to do as well on the next Friday. Most of the boys and girls paired off and vanished into the darkness.
Clive fairly leaped in the air with his surprise, and turned and made a sudden dash at the spot whence Dunn's voice had come, but where Dunn no longer was. "What the blazes ?" he began, spluttering in ineffectual rage. "You you !" "You silly ass!" Dunn repeated, no less emphatically than before. Clive made another rush that a somewhat prickly bush very effectually stopped.
It will be for THAT, mind, I quite recognise because Addie is superior as well as for all you aren't. So good-bye." He remained however till the next day, and noted at intervals the different stages of their friend's journey; the hour, this time, she would really have started, the hour she'd reach Dover, the hour she'd get to town, where she'd alight at Mrs. Dunn's. Perhaps she'd bring Mrs.
'She was walking up and down the pier listening to the band with two of the rankest outsiders you ever set eyes on medicals out of Paddy Dunn's. Of course I could do nothing else but break it off. 'Oh, you were engaged to her, then? I didn't know. 'Well, I was and I wasn't. Anyhow, I thought it better to have a clear understanding.
For the chuckle was Dunn's: Dunn's, who was dead and buried, and Collins with him! But suddenly I was blazing angry, for the chuckle came again, and dead man's or not it was mocking! I jumped to it and caught a live throat, hard. But before I could choke the breath out of it a voice that was not Dunn's shouted at me: "Hold your horses, for any sake, Stretton! It's us."
But if Martin's attempts to relieve his friend of melancholy forebodings were not wholly successful, Dunn's shout of joy and his double-handed shake as he grappled Linklater to him, drove from that young man's heart the last lingering shade of doubt as to his standing with his friends.
