This nondescript individual rode up to the verandah on which sat Welton and Bob, awaiting the lunch bell. He bowed gravely, and dismounted. "Dis ees Meestair Welton?" he inquired with a courtesy at strange variance with his uncouth appearance. Welton nodded.
I sent him your letter and told him I was up against it d'you know I hadn't a bob? I was jolly glad to earn half a dollar digging a pit in a man's garden. Bit thick, you know!" "I can see you," laughed Nora. "Your brother sent me the fare to come on here and told me I could do the chores. I didn't know what they were. I soon found it was doing all the jobs it wasn't anybody else's job to do.
The interrogation clamored now as he came up the walk to the doorway where Robert Morton was standing. "Well, my boy, I'm glad to see you," exclaimed he with heartiness. "You are looking fit as a racer." "And feeling so, Mr. Galbraith," smiled Bob. "You are looking well yourself." "Never was better in my life."
"And if I do get hungry again, I may find something in the woods," he said to himself. "Acorn nuts grow in the woods, and they are very good. I'll root up some of them." Once or twice Squinty looked back toward the pen he had run away from, to see if Bob, his master, were coming after him. But Bob had no idea his little pet had run away.
In the car she possessed herself of the girl's hand, and squeezed it hard; their only allusion to the situation, except Noel's formal: "Thank you so much, Auntie, for having me; it's most awfully sweet of you and Uncle Bob." "There's no one in the house, my dear, except old Nurse. It'll be very dull for you; but I thought I'd teach you to cook; it's rather useful."
He was still a little stern; we were just within range of the veranda lights, and I can see and hear him to this day, almost as clearly as I did that night.

"Those are the nice big yellow ones I'm saving for Mrs. Barclay. But I'm sure of one thing, Molly has no notion of marrying Brownwell." She continued: "Molly is still in love with Bob. She was over here last week and had a good cry and told me so." "Well, why doesn't she send this man about his business?" exclaimed the general. Mrs.

Pogram's ears Felix formed the opinion that the little man, also, could hear. "Tell her not to fret, Mr. Derek. I'd like a shirt, in case I've got to stop. The children needn' know where I be; though I an't ashamed." "It may be a longer job than you think, Bob." In the silence that followed Felix could not help turning.
"What I say is," declared the farmer quite in-consequently, "a man must be able to lay his troubles 'pon the Lord. I don't mean his work, but his troubles; and go home and shut the door and be happy with his wife and children.
