"I don't know as it couldn't be," said the man whom they called Hankie. "He is a proper cunning one to pry out." "Ah!" said another smuggler. "And, come to think of it, we passed him the afternoon afore we sailed. I was driving with the Captain. I was driving the Captain here from Kingsbridge." "He knows the Captain," said Marah grimly.
"Well, you began, you know," said Bobbie, honestly, "about coals and all that. Don't you think you'd better both unsay everything since the wave, and let honour be satisfied?" "I will if Peter will," said Phyllis, sniffling. "All right," said Peter; "honour is satisfied. Here, use my hankie, Phil, for goodness' sake, if you've lost yours as usual. I wonder what you do with them."
Sandy had on his sirtoo an' his lum gin this time, an' he was gaen about makin' a terriple noise, blawin' his nose in his Sabbath hankie, an' lookin', haud your tongue, juist as big's bull beef. He gaed into the washin'-hoose to cowshin the laddies, for they were makin' a terriple din.
This makes the how many is it?" "I don't know, Dads, and it isn't the number; it's the awful habit they've got into and I don't understand anything and I don't encourage them, do I? Do lend me a hankie this chocolate has burst and what am I to do?" "Turn a deaf ear, or a cold shoulder, or put a brave face on, until " said Dads, retrieving his handkerchief. "Until what?"
"He might have guessed seeing him with you that you were coming to arrange a run. Now, how would he know where we were bound?" "Guessed it," said Hankie. "He's been on a run or two with the Salcombe fellers. Besides, he couldn't be far out" "No," said Marah, musingly; "he couldn't. And a hint would have been enough to send the cutter after us."
Peter is no longer with us. He went yesterday, much to the open grief of an adoring and heart-broken Struthers. I stood in the doorway as he drove off, pretending to mop my eyes with my hankie and then making a show of wringing the brine out of it. He laughed at this bit of play-acting, but it was rather a melancholy laugh.
I'm shure I'm no complainin', but Sandy Bowden's been an unsatisfaktory man in mony weys; but, as the Bible says, we've a' a dwang o' some kind, an' if I hadna gotten Sandy, weel, I michta haen a drucken son, or a licht-heided dauchter. Wha can tell? We've a' a hankie mair than we deserve, nae doot. I ken I have onywey; but that's nether here nor there.
He never got ower't, for it got oot aboot, an' the very bairns at the skule began to ca' him the Drookit Dominie. He got a job at the Druckendub skule, an' never lookit Mysie's airt again." "You're grand crackers," said Mysie. "Ye ken a hankie mair than ever happened; but, the man that cheats me ance, shame fa' him; gin he cheat me twice, shame fa' me. That's my wey o' lookin' at things."
"Until the right man comes along, darling, as he surely will." The girl's lids suddenly dropped until the lashes lay like a fringe upon the white cheek over which very slowly but very surely crept the faintest of rose-colours. "Hum!" said Dads to himself, as he made great use of the hankie. "Do smoke, dearest!" "No, thank you, pet; I couldn't here."
Last night Miss Meredith had given the invitations, and the School, you may be sure, would "accept with pleasure." Form Five A held a meeting at recess time. They must get Miss Ashwell a wedding present. "Form Two and Form Four are going to give her a hankie shower," said Joyce Hewson, "and Patricia told me that the Sixth Form is going to give her a linen shower."
