Festing saw that she wore a different dress that looked rather large. "No," he said, "it wasn't the dinner that stopped me. Besides, it didn't strike me that " "That I might need my clothes? Well, I don't suppose it would strike you; but since you have come across in the rain, won't you stop?"
"You and I, Harvey, will have to take the ship home, I suspect," observes Festing; "I am sorry for the old man especially, as we can do nothing to revenge his death." "That were small consolation," I observe; "nor is that as God wills it." Festing looks astonished.
Marriage had not much attraction for him, but if he did marry, he meant to choose a wife of a different type. "Sadie's a very good sort," Charnock resumed. "She knows what we are, and doesn't expect too much; not the kind of girl to make ridiculous demands. In fact, Sadie can make allowances." Festing thought this was doubtful praise, although it bore out his opinion of the girl.
That is, if you have talent, you can do what you like. Build railroads, for example, and then succeed on a farm." Festing laughed good-humoredly. "It's a pretty big thing to claim, but that man was near the mark; they live up to his theories on the plains, where shams don't count and efficiency's the test. I don't mean that the boys have genius, but gift and perseverance seem to be worth as much.
It looked as if the lad had come to his master's help; but one could not be fastidious, and a savage backward kick got rid of the new antagonist. The other was powerful and stubborn, and Festing spent a strenuous few minutes before he threw him into the sand beside the burrow. "I'm pretty fresh and ready to start again if you are," he said. "Still I reckon you have had enough."
It must not be assumed that every one has the same sense of color, otherwise there would be no color blindness. Part of the researches of General Festing and myself have been on the subject of color blindness, and these I must briefly refer to. We test all who come by making them match the luminosity of colors with white light, as I have now shown you.
He went out, for he had, in his anxiety about other matters, forgotten his men, and it was now important that no time, which must be paid for, should be wasted. Finding some of the gang at work clearing away the fallen material and some hauling lumber on the hill, he gave them a few orders and returned to the shack. When he got there Festing was conscious and the doctor said he might speak to him.

"I've a telegram from Bob; he'll be home to-morrow," she said. "He wants you both to meet him at the station." "Did he say anything about the job being finished?" Festing asked as he went down the steps. "No," said Sadie. "He seemed particularly anxious to see you at the depot; my hands are too numb or I'd show you the telegram.
Well, he's going to be married soon and will bring his wife out." "Do you know her? Who is she?" "Yes; I know her very well. She's Helen Dalton." "The girl you ought to have married!" Sadie exclaimed. "What's she like? I guess you have her picture, though you haven't shown it me." "I had one, but haven't now. I meant to burn the thing, but suspect that Festing stole it. Confound him!"
