"Y-you sure l-l-look all right, little g-girl," he admitted, slowly, "but I 've h-heard th-th-that feller was hell with w-women. I-I reckon you b-better go b-back to Farnham an' find out." He paused, wiping his perspiring face with the back of his hand, his cheeks reddening painfully under her unfaltering gaze. Finally he blurted out: "Say, w-who are you, anyhow?" "Beth Norvell, an actress."
To Sandy it was a hall of Olympus, where filmy-robed goddesses moved to the music of the spheres. "Isn't the floor g-grand?" cried Annette, with a little run and a slide. "I could just d-die dancing." "What may the chalk line be for?" asked Sandy. "That's to keep the stags b-back." "The stags?" His spirits fell before this new complication. "Yes; the boys without partners, you know.
I should rather be b-back without the story. L-Looks to me as if Davy's chance of hearing it is rather slim." On the tenth day after we left Missisquoi Bay we reached a river. Rogers said: "Boys, this is the St. Francis River. You have of course guessed by this time that we are going to punish the St.
Brown cast a quick, comprehensive glance from the face of the woman to where the man was now leaning lazily against the wall. "All r-right, little g-girl," he said slowly, and with grave deliberation. "I-I reckon I n-never went b-back on any p-pard yet. B-blamed if y-y-you hate thet c-cuss any worse th-than I do. Y-you bet, I 'll take you out o' h-h-here safe 'nough."
The name was 'Hoppergrass. We thought there must be some funny business, a boat with two names, like that." "That's why the Captain had the crier call it the Hannah Pettingell," I reflected. "Well, we knew we were on the wrong boat," said Spike, "because Captain Bill Prendergast's is the 'Clara'." "B-B-But what could we d-d-d-do? We didn't d-dare to go b-back.
M-Martha says he can jump that high fence b-back of the Hollises' without touching it. I d-drove dad's buggy clear up over the curbstone yesterday, so he would come to the r-rescue, and he swung on to old B-Baldy's neck like he had been a race-horse." "But you don't know him," protested Ruth. "And, besides, he was he was a peddler." "I don't care if he was," said Annette.
They have to stay b-back of the chalk line and b-break in from there. You'll catch on right away. There's your d-dressing-room over there. Don't bother about my card; it's been filled a week. Is there anyb-body you want to dance with especially?" Sandy's eyes answered for him. They were held by a vision in the center of the room, and he was blinded to everything else.
The first minute she looked at him, the second at Carter. He took no chances on the third. With a quick bound, he was in the buggy and turning the horse homeward. "But I've decided to go with Carter!" cried Annette, hysterically. "Turn b-back, Sandy! I've changed my mind." "Change it again," advised Sandy as he laid the whip gently across the horse's back.
"It's not one of meself that blames you," he said; "but how are we ever to get home?" Annette was not without resources. "What's the matter with riding the horse b-back to the farm?" "And you?" asked Sandy. "I'll ride behind." They became hilarious over the mounting, for the horse bitterly resented a double burden.
They had g-given it up, and s-s-stopped r-rowing. P-Pretty s-soon, they t-turned around and went b-back. B-But we thought B-B- Bailey's Harbor was a p-pretty healthy p-place to k-k-k-keep away from!" "And we didn't find out until this morning," said Spike, "why they were after us. It wasn't for taking this boat at all. We sailed around on the Bay all night, we didn't dare land.
