To me he is an old friend, whom Ivisit several times each year for counsel and
inspiration. At any rateJaikie saw on Allinss face, before it disappeared, an
unpleasingsmile. It was not a place where a saneman would take a car except for
urgent reasons. He also visited a chemist and purchasedtwo small bottles. The
Scottish Communist is a much misunderstood person.
He must have suspected that they would play the Prince as theirtrump card. Ive
tried a three pairties and theres no ane to mendthe ither. But, such as itwas,
his description roused the liveliest interest in his audience. Thenat last she
turned her head, saw Jaikie, and waited for him. Jaikie found at his elbow the
mechanic from the Hydropathic calledWilkie.
Following upon this restlessness had come a sudden self-confidence. The wet
south-west wind,now grown to half a gale, was blowing up the street. Heshrugged
his shoulders and jostled his way out of the hall.
The fifth I take to be one of Calamans sons. Once again Jaikiestopped to
reconnoitre, and once again his report was bad.
I very nearly guessed that it wasDickson.
Like an elegant Viking, says Freddy, who doesnt knowanything about Vikings. Not
that I am aware of, said Mr Craw sourly.
He was convinced thatAlison would answer his summons and come at eleven oclock
to theGreen Tree. Hes from Aberdeen, and a great worker in the cause.
He has been in touch with us for some time. It was impossible to prevent Allins
in that narrow hall seeing MrCraw at close quarters. The words had not passed
hislips before Jaikie repented his audacity.
He would leave Portaway forthwith and hurlhimself into the strife. Dougal says
that the thingshe said pretty well knock the bottom out of Mr Craws public
form. Thenat last she turned her head, saw Jaikie, and waited for him. You see,
it rather wipes off Tibbetsfrom our list of enemies.
Theres twa-three Communists in the town,and theres plenty of them among the
lads at the Quarries. SoJaikie imparted a little judicious information. But
that highway was deserted, except for asolitary Ford van.
