McLeod's sunshine recorder consists of a camera fixed with its axis parallel to that of the earth, and with the lens northward. Opposite to the lens there is placed a round-bottomed flask, silvered inside. The solar rays reflected from this sphere pass through the lens, and act on the sensitive surface.
I have heard that I stole away out of thy house to go to McLeod's. I did not! I went with Nana Bork whose guest I was." "Why did thou not tell me this before?" "I knew no one in Kirkwall would dare to say to thee this or that about thy grandchild, and I hoped thou would never know. I am sorry for my disobedience; it has always hurt me if thou forgive it now, so much happier I will be."
Boris heard some men talking about me that made his temper rise then he heard from these men that I was dancing at McLeod's and he went there to see, and as it happened I was dancing with McLeod when he entered the room, and he walked up to me in the dance and said thou wanted me, and he made me come home with him and scolded me all the time we were together.
During the accompanying affray an American was killed. A Canadian named McLeod, who was charged with having fired the fatal shot, was afterwards arrested in New York and indicted for murder. The British government then informed ours that it had ordered the burning of the steamer, and thereupon demanded McLeod's release.
At this I saw my employer's face brighten. "Yes, yes, I see," said he musingly; "that will carry you past the widow McLeod's. You can go, son, and good luck to you." I timed my departure from Las Palomas, allowing three days for the trip, so as to reach home on Christmas eve.
"I do not call it red," she says, with a decision good to hear from the languid woman. "It is a kind of bright brown, chestnut. Mrs. McLeod's is red." "Auburn, my dear," retorts Mrs. Grandon mockingly. "If you are sensitively polite in the one instance, you might be so in the other. One is light red, the other dark red."
I asked him not to tell thee, and he promised he would not if I went there no more. I have not danced with McLeod since, except at Mrs. Brodie's. Thou saw me then." "Thou should not have entered McLeod's house what excuse hast thou for that fault?" "Many have talked of the fault, none but thou have asked me why or how it came that I was so foolish. I will tell thee the very truth.
"We've killed more than we could carry, an', what's worse, we've killed more than we wanted." "How so?" "We've had a brush wi' the redskins, sir, an' we had to kill one or two in self-defence." McLeod's brow darkened. He clenched his teeth, and the large veins swelled in his neck and forehead. With a powerful effort he repressed his anger, and said "Did I not warn you to avoid that if you could?"
The British Government, holding that the Caroline was at the time illegally employed to assist Canadian insurgents, and that the Canadian militia were under government orders justifiable by international law, assumed the responsibility for McLeod's act and his safety.
They seated themselves, a merry, laughing row, upon the wall; the Babson girls, Dot and Jack Marvin, Jotham, the Langham twins, Reuben Jenks, Mollie Wilson, Phoebe Small and even Sandy McLeod's little Janie, and gaily they chattered, the petals of the apple-blossoms falling about them, a perfumed shower.
