Often in the boyhood days, when the Nazarite fit was on, he had climbed to the deserted solitude of the glen to sit on the broad door-stone of the dog-keeper's cabin as a hermit at large, monarch for the monastic moment of a kingdom as remote as that of John the Baptist in the Wilderness of Sin. "I thought of it last night," said Ardea, nodding toward the cabin.
"Is Nan coming back to the dog-keeper's cabin when the family leaves the hotel?" "'Tain't goin' to make any difference to you if she does," said Pettigrass, wondering where he was to be hit next. "It may, if you'll do me a favor. You'll be where you can see and hear. I want to know who visits her besides Miss Ardea." Brother Japheth's smile was more severe than the sharpest reproach.
The housekeeper's face was seen at Aunt Jacoba's window, and so soon as tidings were brought of who it as that came, the dog-keeper's whips hastily silenced the hounds and drove them into the kennel. The serving- men carried off the game, and when the courtyard was presently cleared, behold, a strange procession came in.

The blue-grass, seeded once in the dog-keeper's dooryard, had spread to the farthest limits of the glen, and the autumn rains had given it a spring-like start. Tom let Saladin crop a dozen mouthfuls unchecked before he said: "That looks like dodging; and I don't like to dodge." "You will have to do many things you don't like before you say your ave atque vale," she remarked.
When it became noised about that there were two children instead of one in the old dog-keeper's cabin in the glen, Mountain View Avenue was justly indignant, and even the lenient Gordonians scowled and shook their heads at the mention of the young boss's name.
