Do let me run after her, and ask her to stop for a minute," said little Grace, eagerly. Mrs. Foster glanced musingly across the knolls at Elsie's slender figure, as she sauntered peacefully home with her charge, and then she said, "No, my dear, we shall not trouble Elsie to-night; but I shall take you with me to see her in her own home to-morrow, if you wish it. I shall be going there."
They were large, half-naked savages, standing like statues with fierce, movable eyes, each one holding, with its butt end on the ground, a huge spear, with a head the size of a shovel. I purposely sauntered down them coolly with a swagger, with my eyes fixed upon their dangerous-looking faces.
I was with him when he was wounded; I am a Carlist. I am here on the same mission as yourself; to spy what the vermin are doing." "Ha! good; ramble on, and don't notice me. It is dangerous." He sauntered along the causeway, hands in pockets and whistling, and presently popped into a tavern, and I re-entered the fonda.
This tall, thin, brown young army doctor, who has passed brilliant examinations, who is already beginning to be known favourably in the profession, whose name has appeared at the end of more than one approved article in scientific Reviews; who has travelled, seen something of Italy, Switzerland, Belgium; who for five years has been studying, thinking, living through youthful experiences and failures, and out-living some youthful illusions, cannot fail, one may be sure, to be a different personage, in many respects, from the fresh-hearted medical student who had sauntered away an idle Sunday amongst the woods and valleys round Chaudfontaine, and had looked with curious, half wondering eyes at the new little world disclosed to him at the hotel.
"Oh, you darling! But no, go. Go. I want to think of you mastering the salt sea waves, bathing your limbs in the broad ocean." He got his hat and sauntered off. "What rot women talk!" he thought to himself. But he was pleased and happy and flattered. She was evidently frightfully gone on him.
When the Winnebagos sauntered back to their tents for rest hour they all found large, wafer-sealed envelopes lying in conspicuous places upon their respective tables. Sahwah pounced upon the one in Gitchee-Gummee and looked at it curiously. "Whatever can this be?" she asked in mystified tones. Miss Judy was not in the tent. "Open it," commanded Agony.
One of the players was Chet, and as she watched she saw him fling his racket high in the air. "My set, Tom!" he cried. "That puts us even. Play you the rubber this afternoon. So long!" and with his tennis balls in his hand and his racket under his arm he sauntered over toward home. "Dear old Chet!" murmured Billie fondly.
She stopped at Martha's cottage for the child. Ah! What would become of her if it were not for Martha? The two sauntered together along the Craddock road. All night long, Hadria had been trying to decide when and how to speak to Professor Theobald. Should she send for him? Should she write to him? Should she trust to chance for an opportunity of speaking?
Thereupon Mr. Daney sauntered over to the cigar stand in the hotel, loaded his cigar case and went down to his office, where he sat until midnight, smoking and thinking. The sole result of his cogitations, however, he summed up in a remark he directed at the cuspidor just before he went home: "Well, there's blood on the moon and hell will pop in the morning."
Lady Helen removed her mask. "Then, that is your first cue," she said. "I breathe easier," Mademoiselle d'Essoldé remarked. "We all do," said I then, suddenly, replaced mine and arose. "Indulge me for a moment," I said, and sauntered over to the path a little distance away; nor answered the chaffing that was flung after me.
