A Varick would never have thought to cut such a caper, I tell you. It isn't in our line; it isn't in Dutch blood to imagine such things, or do 'em either!" He seized pipe and mug, swearing under his breath. "It was the bravest thing I ever knew," I said, huskily. He dipped his nose into his mug, pulled at his long pipe, and eyed me askance.
"Sir John and the Butlers are busy with the Onondagas and Oneidas; Dominic Kirkland is doing his best to keep them peaceable; and our General played his last cards at their national council. We can only wait and see, Mistress Varick." He hesitated, glancing at me askance.
Varick, sitting up in his bed with eyes staring into the darkness, saw again his familiar room, the dim light, the silver, the dressing-case, the pictures. He sprang to the door opening into the hall, and tried it. It was bolted, as he had left it. So was the other door leading into his sitting-room. The darkness around him still seemed full of the refrain of the words he had just heard where?
Varick had left her companion two thousand pounds, and though the legacy had been omitted from her final will, Varick had of his own accord suggested that he should allow Miss Pigchalke a hundred a year. She had begun by sending back the first half-yearly cheque; but she had finally accepted it!

"Who told you that?" asked Varick sharply. "My valet; I always hear all the news from him." Helen clapped her hands. "How splendid!" she cried. "That makes everything simply perfect!"
