"Go get supper ready," commanded Herman. And it was only after they left that he said to Stacey: "Oh, you found your way all right. I didn't see you those confounded girls bother me so." He took a seat by the fire and surveyed his wet shoes. "I took a run up to Mott's house only a half block out o' the way. He said they'd be tickled to have you at Cyene. By the way, you're a theolog, aren't you?"
There we found the commodore himself taking skilful turns around the mizzen with the severed stays and shrouds dangling from the bowsprit, the French marines looking on. "Don't swear, Mr. Stacey," said he, severely; "in another minute we may all be in eternity."
Stacey, who had taken his vacation in June and July, had returned to Cheverley in time to greet Roland, Bevis, and Clifford, a welcome state of affairs to Cousin Clare, for the three lively boys were almost beyond her management, and needed the kindly authority which the tutor knew so well how to wield without friction.
Allen was in tears; but the old man, having taken his stand, was going to keep it. Herman lost his temper a little. "Well, Dad, you're a little the cussedest Christian I ever knew! Stacey, sit down.

I turned to the group.

She did not regret it when they shipped their machine from Stacey and took the Overland for New York. A few days after they had gone, Bud Shoop rode up to the Blue Mesa. It was evident that he wanted to talk with Bronson, so Dorothy coaxed Bondsman to her favorite tree, and sat stroking his shaggy head as she read from a new book that Shoop had brought with the mail. The genial Bud was in a fix.
