Sir, We arrived here this morning, and before we came to anchor, had five canoes alongside ready to take your cargo, part of which we had in; and as I heard you express a wish to know what they took out of her, to this moment, you may depend upon this account of Jamieson for quality and quantity; if I have the same opportunity you will have an account of the whole.
It's a long time since you and I were in love, Liddy, and we forget." Liddy sniffed. "No man ever made a fool of me," she replied virtuously. "Well, something did," I retorted. "Mr. Jamieson," I said, when we found ourselves alone after dinner that night, "the inquest yesterday seemed to me the merest recapitulation of things that were already known.
"See, he keeps getting behind trees and things, and he's staying on the other side of the street. Whenever Mr. Jamieson turns, Jake hides himself." Eleanor frowned thoughtfully. "I think you're right, Bessie," she said. "And I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to telephone to his office and tell his clerk to slip out and meet him, so that he can warn him. He ought to know about that."
Lady Glenmire, after waiting and listening for some time in the drawing- room, had proposed to Mrs Jamieson that they should go to bed; but that lady said she should not feel comfortable unless she sat up and watched; and, accordingly, she packed herself warmly up on the sofa, where she was found by the housemaid, when she came into the room at six o'clock, fast asleep; but Lady Glenmire went to bed, and kept awake all night.
He's got another lawyer, and who do you suppose it is?" The two girls stared at him, surprised and puzzled. "Brack!" exclaimed Jamieson. "What do you know about that for a mess, eh? If half of what I believe is right, Brack's his worst enemy. He's hand in glove with the people who are responsible for all his trouble, and yet here he goes and gets the scoundrel to act as his lawyer!"
Jamieson, however, kept her informed with regard to you, and told me that Marie was greatly when she heard you were with me, whom she supposed to be the same Richard Harrington who had saved your life, and of whom her mistress had often talked. Marie is better now, and when I saw her sister more than a year ago, she was hoping she might soon revisit America.
The meaning of the term "Fogie" is rather to be furnished by description than by definition. But we may bestow a few words on the lexico-graphical learning connected with the word. Dr Jamieson, an authority every way entitled to attention on such a subject, gives a double signification of Fogie: "1. A term used to denote an invalid or garrison soldier. 2.
I think I can outwit her. She's fair game, you know." "How? What? Do tell me, Turkey," I cried, right eagerly. "Not to-day. I will tell you by and by." He got up and went about his work. Old John Jamieson As I returned to the house I met my father. "Well, Ranald, what are you about?" he said, in his usual gentle tone. "Nothing in particular, father," I answered.
"I guess you haven't met Billy Trenwith properly yet, Eleanor," said Charlie Jamieson, smiling. "Maybe not," said Eleanor, returning the smile, "but I regard him as a friend already, Charlie. He was splendid this morning. If he hadn't understood so quickly, and acted at once, the way he did, I don't know what would have happened."
Silently they ranged themselves, some on the deck, some still upon the shore. "Get lights now, at once!" commanded Dunwody. "We've got men hurt here. We'll have to do something at once. Jamieson!" he cried out. "Are you hurt?" "I'm all right," answered Doctor Jamieson out of the darkness. "Not a scratch. But there's a lot of our fellows down." "Take care of them," said Dunwody.
