When we were little and Mother would take Phil and me to visit relatives or friends I merely liked I'd be there a little while and then I'd tug at Mother's skirt and beg, 'Mom, we want to go home. I suppose I spoiled many a visit for her. I was self-willed even then." "You are a stubborn person," he said, with so different a meaning that Amanda flushed. "I know I am.
"Not to you," and Elise glanced coquettishly from under her eyelashes. "To me, then," put in Van Reypen. "I've not seen you, Elise, since I came back from Over There. You've grown a lot, haven't you?" "Taller?" "Mercy no! I mean mentally. You seem more more grown up like." "Everybody is, since the war work. Yes, Phil, I have grown, I hope."
I heard a horse galloping away just before I got up to the gate. But what is the matter, Phil?" I stood there wholly sure now that I was in Paradise. Jean had not tried to get her after all. She was here, and no harm had touched her. Tell had not understood. Jean had been in the middle of this night's business somewhere, I felt sure, but he had done no one any harm.
In a cordial, kindly place, like St. Helen's, people soon make acquaintances, and Clover and Phil felt as if they already knew half the people in the town. Every one had come to see them and deluged them with flowers, and invitations to dine, to drive, to take tea. Among the rest came Mr.
Although Phil was still on apparently good terms with his father, he was, from the time of his return, much at Greenwood; and, his simple nature being quite incapable of deceit, Janice very quickly perceived that his chief motive was not so much the lover's desire to be near, as it was to keep watch of her.
Timmy leaped the gap easily to connect the two remarks, as Phil had thought he would. "Oh, I didn't mean there should be no death. I was thinking of something else. That man they found dead in the bush yesterday." "A man with a heart condition should never go hunting alone." "Was it his heart, Uncle Phil?" "His heart and his head both, if you ask me.
Over one of these hung the colonel, making imaginary journeys with the end of a dead cigar. He turned swiftly to Lounsbury, and caught him by the shoulders. "John," he said, before the other could speak, "I need an interpreter. You've been about here for years do you know one?" "There's Soggy, that Phil Kearney fellow " The colonel gave a grunt of disgust. "In jail at Omaha," he said.
Great was the delight of the party at the history they heard, when the cloth was drawn, of Andy's wedding, so much in keeping with his former life and adventures, and Father Phil had another opportunity of venting his rage against the "couple-beggar." "That was but a slip-knot you tied, Father," said the doctor. "Aye, aye! joke away, doctor."
Phil was amused, and somewhat pleased, to find how exactly Hugh remembered his description of the place and neighbourhood. He recognised the duck-pond under the hedge by the road-side, with the very finest blackberries growing above it, just out of reach.
However, considering the character of the audience, this was as much as could be expected. "How much have you made to-day, Johnny?" asked Tim. "A dollar," said Phil. "A dollar! That's more nor I have made. I tell you what, boys, I think I'll buy a fiddle myself. I'll make more money that way than blackin' boots." "A great fiddler you'd make, Tim Rafferty."
