At last Allan reached the last ledge, and swung himself to the ground; Reggie and Marjorie followed; Tricksy came last, and the Grahams dropped down with an air of relief. 'Well done for you, said Allan approvingly; 'it's your first climb of the kind, and you haven't shown an atom of funk. Gerald's cheeks became a little redder, and Harry bore himself with greater self-consciousness.
There was another lady present, a New Yorker, who had lately seen Hazlehurst very often with the Grahams, in his character of Jane's admirer, and she innocently asked him when he was going to return to New York. "In a day or two," he replied. "You will not leave the post vacant very long, I dare say," observed the lady.
'Gerald, look at your line, cried Harry, springing forward, and Gerald pulled in a haddock, while Allan and Hamish steadied the boat, which had been set rocking by Harry's sudden movement. It was a beautiful evening, and the fish were taking well, but sport was spoiled by the incapacity of the Grahams to keep still.
I don't think there is much love lost on either side. I don't know why I never could understand Maggie. You have no idea of the reports she spreads about me all over the place the stories she tells the Grahams, the Prestons, the Wells. She told Mrs. Wells that I fell in love with every young man that came to Southwick. She said awful things about me.
"There ain't no such thing in the whole giddy town.... No, none of that hotel stuff, now I I'm going to put you up and I'll do it in style, too. I wrote you about taking a new place for the Grahams?"

But she was now piqued as well as interested, and so it happened that Mr. Walcott began to occupy more of her thoughts than she was altogether willing to devote to him. So far, all their meetings were in public. They had never exchanged a word that the world might not hear. They saw each other at the Grahams' dinner-parties, at Mrs.
'I heard the Sheriff saying to Mother that the gipsies had come back again, said Tricksy. Reggie's dark eyes looked at Allan, who stopped his whittling. 'Look! said Marjorie abruptly, 'we're just rounding the headland. The Grahams wondered at the sudden silence which fell upon the group. 'We'll tack shore wards, Duncan, announced Mr. Stewart.
In the different segments of this far-flung ring the peaks of the Chiracahuas, the Grahams, the Dragoons, and the Galiuros betrayed their ranges by varying outlines. But to the eye they all formed portions of one huge circumference, whose center was a glowing point, the Sibley tent.
"I think Godfrey might have gone over the house with us, as he promised, instead of just leaving the key," she said. "Did Caroline take the key in? I suppose there was no message?" said Mrs. Bradford. "No: she said not. I asked her." Miss Ethel paused. "I thought there was something rather funny in her manner." "What! You don't think there is anything in what the Grahams said?" exclaimed Mrs.
They had picnicked in the Smugglers' Cave and on Boveyhayne Common where the gorse was in bloom, and Henry had plucked whinblossoms to dye Easter eggs when he found that the Grahams did not know that whinblossoms could be used in this way.
