Yet not once during the day did he get out of his bed, fearing that he might be discovered. Cardigan visited him twice and had no suspicion of Mercer's temperature chart. He dressed his wound, which was healing fast. It was the fever which depressed him. There must be, he said, some internal disarrangement which would soon clear itself up.
I got into a brown study, and was waked out of it by Miss Cardigan's "What is it, my dear?" "Ma'am?" I said. "Ye are studying some deep question," she said, smiling. "Maybe it's too big for you." "So it is," said I, sighing. "Is it so everywhere, Miss Cardigan?" "So how, my bairn?" "Is there so much trouble everywhere in the world?" Her face clouded over.
It certainly favored the writer of this article when an opportunity was offered for a two days' trip with the Appalachian Mountain Club up Mounts Kearsarge South and Cardigan in New Hampshire. A few words in regard to this club. Well known as it has come to be, the objects of its existence are scarcely understood by the majority, even, of Bostonians. "Oh," said one, referring to this very trip.
Kent tried to say something, but before he succeeded she had taken possession of the chair near his bedside. "I have been waiting a long time to see you," she said. "You are James Kent, aren't you?" "Yes, I'm Jim Kent. I'm sorry Dr. Cardigan kept you waiting. If I had known " He was getting a grip on himself again, and smiled at her.
"You have not forgotten your Lord, Daisy?" she said at length, when she saw me quiet. I looked at her and smiled my answer, though it must have been a sober smile. "I see," she said; "you have not. But how was it, so far away, my bairn? Weren't you tempted?" "No, dear Miss Cardigan. What could tempt me?" "The world, child. Its baits of pleasure and pride and power.
"Neither. It's a lady." "Then I'd better have the soap and water! Do you mind telling me who it is?" Cardigan shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen her before. She came this morning while I was still in pajamas, and has been waiting ever since. I told her to come back again, but she insisted that she would remain until you were awake. She has been very patient for two hours."
Tully, widow of Cardigan's first engineer in the mill, was engaged as housekeeper and cook; and with his domestic establishment reorganized along these simple lines, John Cardigan turned with added eagerness to his business affairs, hoping between them and his boy to salvage as much as possible from what seemed to him, in the first pangs of his loneliness and desolation, the wreckage of his life.
I thought I'd done with Cardigan Street, an' the silly loafers I grew up with, but s'elp me Gawd, when I married you I married Cardigan Street. I could put up with yer want of brains you don't want much brains ter git through this world but it's yer nasty, sulky temper, an' yer bone idleness. I suppose yer git them from yer lovely father. The 'ardest work 'e ever did was to drink beer.
"So the devil has found a weak spot in your armour," she said. "You must guard it well, Daisy." "How can I?" "How can you? Keep your shield before it, my bairn. What is your shield for? The Lord has given you a great strong shield, big enough to cover you from head to foot, if your hands know how to manage it." "What is that, Miss Cardigan?" "The shield of faith, dear. Only believe.
"Perhaps but not without a fight," Bryce answered, although he knew their plight was well-nigh hopeless. "I'll give that man Pennington a run for his money, or I'll know the reason." The telephone on the table beside him tinkled, and he took down the receiver and said "Hello!" "Mercy!" came the clear, sweet voice of Shirley Sumner over the wire. "Do you feel as savage as all that, Mr. Cardigan?"
