Therefore, lads, if ye would wed my daughter, out foot, and bring me the stone of touch, for that is the price of her." "A word in your ear," said the younger son to his father. "I think we do very well without this stone." "A word in yours," said the father. "I am of your way of thinking; but when the teeth are shut the tongue is at home." And he smiled to the King that was a priest.
After dinner they went uptown to purchase the necessary paint and to arrange for an additional supply of canned goods with which to stock their larder. "Let's get some vegetables for supper," Tom said as they visited one of the stores. "It will surprise the boys when they get back all tired and hungry. They'll like that." Well loaded the lads returned to the shipyard.
The two lads were more than willing, feeling that the chance of pursuit had passed for a long time at least, and they set to work with their sharp hatchets, rapidly making a crude but secure wickiup, as usual against the rocky side of a hill. Before the task was done the sky darkened much more, and far in the west thunder muttered.
At first I was inclined to think them somewhat fine fellows, lads of spirit, whose example was worthy of imitation; but Peter observing my tendency, very soon put their conduct in its true light. "You see, Jack," said he, "those fellows are, in the first place, acting a sneaking, unfair part, to their shipmates.
"Then life would be too jolly for anything," answered Roy. "Men and boys learn a good many wholesome lessons in the forest, one of which is that it pays better to take a day of rest in seven if they want to make the most of themselves and their opportunities. Therefore, lads, we'll do no tramping to-day. And we'll have a bit of a service by and by over there under the pines."
"No bones broken, thank God!" said Giles, after having examined him and bound up his wounds. "But he is too weak to be questioned. Now, lads, fetch the two poles and the plaid. I'll soon contrive a litter." "All right, old fellow! God bless you!" said Barret, faintly, as his friend bent over him.
If she did not, then why did she, an old, frail woman of seventy, go out into the wilderness just as winter was coming on, and why did not cruel Kumran kill the Heir-to-Empire when he had him in his power? These are all questions; but what is certain is that Baby Akbar did go through all these adventures before he was five years old. So good-bye, brave little lads!
He knew both lads, and asked them to step in and sit with him before his cheery fire, as he had half an hour on his hands before starting to church. Hugh plunged into the matter without waste of time. He told Deacon Winslow how he had been reading that wonderful story of Jean Valjean; and then what a strange freak of fate allowed him to play the same part that the good priest had done.
There was no second volley, for the lads had disappeared in the darkness, and the Germans were not minded to spend their ammunition foolishly. The first streak of dawn appeared in the sky, and still the boys rode on swiftly. But at length Hal slowed down and Chester followed suit. "I'm tired out," said Hal, as he jumped from his bicycle.
But my especial boy of the batch was A. proud and cold and shy to other people, sad and serious sometimes when his good heart and tender conscience showed him his short-comings, but so grateful for sympathy and a kind word. I could not get at him as easily as I could the other lads, but, thanks to Dickens, I found him out at last.
