Code told her the whole thing from beginning to end, leaving out only that part of Nat's cumulative scheme that had to do with Nellie Tanner. He showed Elsa how his enemy had left no stone unturned to bring him back home a pauper, a criminal, and one who could never again lift his head among his own people even though he escaped years in prison.
"Whoop! Isn't this great!" shouted Jack in Nat's ear. "The best ever!" was the answer. "It only happens once in a lifetime!" But all things must have an end, and at last the grand march came to a close. The students fairly outdid themselves, and had to halt every now and then to rest from the combined exertion of laughing and leaping as they paraded.
All this rather turned Nat's head; and as he sat in the brilliant opera-house, chatted among the ladies at some select coffee-party, or whisked an eminent professor's amiable daughter down the room, trying to imagine she was Daisy, he often asked himself if this gay fellow could be the poor homeless little Street musician who once stood waiting in the rain at the gates of Plumfield.
"Next time I'll be more on my guard. But I thought Mr. Dale must be in some dire trouble." "It was a nervy thing to do to forge his name," was the comment of the senator's son. "It's a pity you didn't keep the note." "I couldn't. After I was tied up they had me at their mercy." "Who was the man?" "I don't know. I never saw him before." "He must have been some friend of Nat's." "I suppose so."
He looked at both of Nat's hands. "Where's your ring?" he demanded. "Never had one," said Nat defiantly. "No fooling now, give it up or you'll be sorry." "I tell you I haven't got any," Nat replied impatiently. "You're up the wrong tree." "Give me that ring or I'll " began Sid, when his companion broke in with: "Never mind now. It's getting late and we don't want to be caught out here at night.
He was in the act of fastening the chain as he stood up, and had passed it round one of the lower boughs, being fairly well screened now from Nat's observation by the delicate spray, when a fly seemed to tickle his ear. Fred struck at it viciously without looking round, and went on fastening the chain, when the fly again seemed to tickle him, this time low down in the nape of his neck. "Get out!
I have talked to your mother since I came home, and she told me what Nat's engagement meant to you, so that I know Nellie is the girl you have always loved. Isn't it so?" "Yes," he replied gently. "Now is it plain to you how I have undone my own plans? Two things I desired more than anything else on earth, you, and Burns's ruin.
Josie Lockwood doesn't love you; she just set herself to win you because you're the best chance she's seen." Kellogg laughed quietly. "The system would have worked just as well if anyone else had tried it." "Do you think so honest?" Nat's eagerness to believe him was undisguised. "I'm sure of it.
And just ask her to keep an eye on Grace while I'm gone. Tell her I leave Gracie under her wing. Keziah and me are old chums, in a way, you see." "Yes. I'll tell her that, too." "And don't forget the 'friend' part. Well, so long." They shook hands and parted. Didama and her fellow news-venders distributed the tale of Captain Nat's sailing broadcast during the next few days.
I'll close up the shop." Tracey had slammed on his hat and was struggling into his overcoat almost as soon as the words were out of Nat's mouth. "Kin I?" he cried excitedly. "Yes," said Nat, watching the boy turn up his collar and button his overcoat to the throat, "I haven't got the heart to keep you." "Ah, thanks, Mr. Duncan." "But, Tracey..."
