Arrange your meetings at our house, Guy, and we'll fix it all up then." They changed the subject then, for Mona and Captain Sayre came walking toward them. "Get good fortunes?" asked Jack. "Very much so," returned the captain. "Miss Galbraith is to become a Duchess later on, and I am to achieve the rank of a Rear- Admiral. What more could we ask?" "Nothing!" exclaimed Patty.
Rose managed to express her affection and gratitude a little more adequately, but not much. "It isn't the end of us, you know," she concluded. "You're coming to see me in New York." Miss Gibbons smiled with good-humored skepticism at that. Rose telegraphed Galbraith that morning, and she took the noon train for St. Louis.
" and take refuge with strangers!" continued the laird. "By no means strangers, Mr. Galbraith!" said the minister. "You drive your daughter from your house, and are then shocked to find she has taken refuge with friends!" "She is an unnatural child. She knows well enough what I think of her, and what reason she has given me so to think."
Block, indeed, let his eyes follow the retreating Galbraith with a momentary look of outraged astonishment. Her wits, quickened by the emergency, interpreted the look. Galbraith, chucking her into the water indeed, had thrown her a life-preserver the tip that her wares were good. Goldsmith, quicker and shrewder than his junior, was already smiling politely. "They really are very good," he said.
Margaret would have preferred consequently, as she had lately done, remaining with Janet, but her kind friend, Mrs Galbraith, was ill, and much required her services. Had Alec been at home, it is possible that she might not have thought it wise to have had so attractive a girl constantly with her, but Alec had been now for upwards of a year absent.
"Troth no, Maister Galbraith," replied the Bailie, "I had other eggs on the spit and I thought ye wad be saying I cam to look about the annual rent that's due on the bit heritable band that's between us." "Damn the annual rent!" said the laird, with an appearance of great heartiness "Deil a word o' business will you or I speak, now that ye're so near my country.
I would rather he had done it than any other fellow in the school." "I will give him all my prizes, and pray for him as long as I live," exclaimed David. Janet thought Margaret sufficiently recovered in the evening to venture out. "We must go with you," exclaimed Donald. "I want to take Galbraith by the hand, and tell him all I feel."
"You've got an idea here. Did you know it?" The inventor smiled. "Bob an' I kinder thought we had," returned he modestly. "Bob is helping you?" "Oh, I'm only putting in an oar," the young man hastened to say. "The plan was entirely Mr. Spence's. I am simply working out some of the details." "Bob knows a good deal more about boats than perhaps he'll own," Mr. Galbraith asserted to Willie.
Galbraith, we thank you kindly for bringin' the offer, an' your friend for makin' it; an' though we refuse it, 'tain't done in no unfriendly spirit." "I understand that," nodded the financier. Nevertheless he gazed with no small amount of awe and respect at these poor fisherfolk who could so lightly fling aside a fortune.
The horse squadron of militia, commanded by Major Galbraith, is already joined by two or more troops of cavalry, which will occupy all the lower passes of this wild country; three hundred Highlanders, under the two gentlemen you saw at the inn, are in possession of the upper part, and various strong parties from the garrison are securing the hills and glens in different directions.
