But your hurt was worse than Laddie's, I take it, and so 't is harder to forgive." Evelina's heart beat hard. Never before had she thought of forgiving Anthony Dexter. She put it aside quickly as altogether impossible. Moreover, he had not asked. "What is it to forgive?" she questioned, curiously.
They were wild and free in their gestures, and held each other by the hand, and swayed from side to side, stamping their feet in time, as they sang Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row, Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in! 'What for are ye going off, now? they called out to our two girls.
Its salt is in his blood, and when the tide is going with a race and a roar, and the break of the waves and the howl of the wind is like a thousand guns, then Andrew Binnie is in the element he likes best; aye, though his boat be spinning round like a laddie's top." "Well, Janet, I will be going."
I like the hotel very much. Won't you let me call to see you?" Mrs. Bobbsey said she would be very glad to, and so the two ladies, having thus met, became friends, which Laddie and Freddie had done a little while before. Laddie's aunt, whose name was Mrs. Whipple, said she would be glad to have Freddie and Flossie, as well as Nan and Bert, come in to play with Laddie.
But Dick, the hired man, was at home, and he came to help Mother Bunker and Grandma Ford. "I'll get you out, Russ! Don't cry!" shouted Dick, as he ran up with his long rubber boots on. These were so high that he could wade into almost any snowdrift. "Don't cry, Russ!" "I'm not cryin'," answered Laddie's brother. "I'm only hollerin' so somebody'll come and get me. My foot's stuck!"
It's worth three hundred pounds sterling." "That is more than I want, sir; if you choose to give me the third part of the money, and five links of the chain, it will amply serve my purpose, and the rest will be some slight atonement for the expense and trouble I have put you to." "The laddie's in a creel!" exclaimed his uncle.
"I'm sure they'll be all right," said Laddie's aunt. "Don't worry about them." So Flossie, Freddie and Laddie built the bridge of books, and on it safely ran the toy locomotive and cars over the river of shiny looking glass. When they grew tired of this game they played automobile.
Here Great-uncle Joe had treasures rare indeed in the good Brother's eye: a wonderful crucifix of ivory and ebony; the silver altar lamp of an old Spanish monastery; a Madonna in dull tints that still bore traces of a master hand; a rosary, whose well-worn beads made Brother Bart's pious heart warm. "Indeed he was a God-fearing man, I'm sure, this uncle of laddie's."
But Freddie could not forget about his "rescue," as he called it, and when his father, with Nan and Bert, came home that evening the story had all to be told over again. "But you and Laddie did wrong to go down to the fire without telling Laddie's aunt," said Mr. Bobbsey to his small son. "You must never do it again!" "I never will," promised Freddie. "But I was rescued all right, wasn't I?"
'Oh, if my hand be free from actual spoil and bloodshed, it was his doing! Oh, that he could hear me bless him for the chastisement I took so bitterly! 'Chastisement! demanded Patrick. 'The English King dared chastise you! of Scots blood royal! 'Tis well he is dead! 'The laddie's well-nigh beside himself! said Baird. 'But he speaks true.
