This was the trail made by John McLean's brigades nearly three- quarters of a century before, for in their journeys to Indian House Lake they had used rowboats and not canoes for the transportation of supplies. The day we passed over this portage was a most miserable one.
The husband addressed no word to the cow-puncher "Get in, then," he said to his wife. "Town's not far now," said Lin. "Maybe you would prefer riding the balance of the way?" "I'd " But the note of pity that she felt in McLean's question overcame her, and her utterance choked. She nodded her head, and the three continued slowly climbing the hill together.
We two then mounted and joined him, while our staff-officers followed, intermingling with those of the general-in-chief as the cavalcade took its way to McLean's house near by, and where General Lee had arrived some time before, in consequence of a message from General Grant consenting to the interview asked for by Lee through Meade's front that morning the consent having been carried by Colonel Babcock.
McLean's room, that that young gentleman was doing finely, and would be able to sit out on the piazza in a day or two, and that Mrs. Miller was nursing him like a mother. For a time the chat went blithely on, Jeannie Bruce and Holmes being the principals, and then came a message which called that young lassie homeward. Presently Bayard heard the manly voice growing deeper and softer.
Swansey has resided ten years on the coast, and was one of the persons examined before the Committee of Parliament in reference to the state and affairs of this region. There is a circumstance that connects this gentleman, though but slightly, with poetic annals. Being at Cape Coast Castle at the time of Mrs. McLean's death, he was one of the inquest that examined into that melancholy event.
Thus, half a mile below the Stone Bridge is Lewis's Ford; half a mile below that, Ball's Ford; half a mile below that, Island Ford; one and one-half miles below that, Mitchell's Ford one mile below that. Blackburn's Ford; three-quarters of a mile farther down, McLean's Ford; and nearly two miles lower down the stream, Union Mills Ford.
He stood a moment staring down at the thing with a curious feeling of having stood staring down at exactly the same thing before that subconscious feeling of the repetition of events which supports the theories of reincarnationists and then, quite suddenly, memory came to his aid. In McLean's office. That day of the masquerade. Those visiting Frenchmen and that locket they had shown him.
Quite suddenly Peter's house, built on the sand, collapsed. The shock came on Christmas-Day, after young McLean, now frankly infatuated, had been driven home by Peter. Peter did it after his own fashion. Harmony, with unflagging enthusiasm, was looking tired. Suggestions to this effect rolled off McLean's back like rain off a roof.
Tewfick Pasha turned in his chair and cocked his eyes at this strange young man who had dropped from the blue with this extensive advice. He looked puzzled. This American fitted into no type of his acquaintance. He was so very young and slim and boyish ... with not at all the air of a legal representative.... But McLean's position vouched for him. "You speak for the French family, monsieur?"
In his doctor days Barker had set the boy McLean's leg; and before it was properly knit the boy had escaped from the hospital to revel loose in Drybone on such another night as this. Soon he had been carried back, with the fracture split open again. "It shows, does it?" said Lin. "Well, it don't usually. Not except when I'm when I'm " "Down?" suggested his Excellency. "Yes, Doc.
