"I don't think he will be gone long. He took Rosalind with him," she added. "Then I should wait till his return. A few days more can't make much difference. You have been very wise not to mention it to any one." But when Belle told about the supposed detective, Celia laughed and said she had a vivid imagination, and that it was only a coincidence that the old rumors should be revived just now.
Let's be chums!" said Peggy sweetly; and the two girls eyed one another uncertainly for a moment, then bent forward and exchanged a kiss of conciliation, after which unusual display of emotion they were seized with instant embarrassment. "Hem!" said Peggy. "It's very cold! Fire rather low, I think. Looks as if it were going to snow." "No," said Rosalind; "I mean yes.
She yearned to exchange confidences with somebody anybody, and this woman, even though she were what she thought her, had a capacity for feeling, for sympathy. And she was very, very tired of it all. "It was fierce, wasn't it?" said Hester a few minutes later in the privacy of her room, as she balanced her cup and watched Rosalind as the girl ate, hungrily.
"Well, then," I said, "if that's all, the thing to do is to find Orlando, tell him that you cannot bear it, and spend the rest of your holiday, you and he, together." "That's what I thought," said Rosalind.

He laughed. "You're perfectly safe wid thim min, ma'am they're Trevison's an' Trevison wud shoot the last mon av thim if they'd harm a hair av your pretty head. Go along, ma'am, an' God bless ye!
Pat was one of my boys," Morgan announced, as if it were a piece of news; adding, "We ought to make some tea." Rosalind clapped her hands, and nodded emphatically, "Let's!" she cried.

How are you, Patterson?" and the brothers clasped hands warmly.
I am only sorry for one thing." "What is that, dear?" "That we can't be Rosalind and Celia; that I can't put on man's clothes and liberty." "But you don't like men you always want to avoid them." Miss Grey said nothing in defence of her own consistency. She was thinking that if she had been a man, she would have been spared the vexation of having to listen to Mr. Augustus Sheppard's proposals.
Her voice sounded unusually clear and sweet, yet lacked something of the power of expression displayed by Grace in her rendering of the same scene.

She had decided in her own mind that Rosalind was the part best suited to her, and felt that the honor now lay between herself and Grace.
"So have I," added Rosalind, "something lovely," and she waved a small package aloft. "Is it something for us?" Katherine asked. "Let Belle tell hers first. Mine must wait till we get to the oak tree." "It is about the ring. I have found out how it came to be in the spinet," Belle announced. "Really? How?"

The day was quite warm, and it was a pleasure for the three to step upon the land and stretch themselves in the genial sunshine.
