He, too, had sometimes wondered what took Brent away so frequently of late. These were uncomfortable thoughts to the Colonel, who allowed suspicions no place in his estimate of people. "Oh, we just support it for the sake of gossip," she laughed. "Aunt Timmie dreamed it, I believe."
Barney knew he was thinking of the boy, Timmie, and La Vaune's money he carried into the woods. A square of light, of course, would have been a cabin window. "Kill your engine if you see a chance to light, and explain later," he shouted back. But no square of light appeared, and soon the thought of it was driven from their minds, for, of a sudden, the plane shuddered like a man with a chill.
Or, what if it had been abandoned? Barney shook himself free from these thoughts, and seizing his mandolin, went to join Bruce and Timmie on saxophone and rudely-devised Indian kettledrums in a wild-woods symphony, while the children danced wild steps the boys had never seen. "Well, we're off!" Barney said this, as he buckled on his harness and touched the starting lever.
"The big fore-an'-after, Timmie, I'm t' have when I'm growed. You may skipper she. You'll not wreck her, Timmie, will you?" He was asleep. "Hut!" I thought, angrily. "I'll have Jacky skipper that craft, if Timmie don't look out." At any rate, she was not to be for me. The WAY From HEART'S DELIGHT
Timmie Lovejoy threw more billets on the fire. They flamed and spluttered and filled the room with cheerful light. "Davy," said the doctor, "we can never cure the wretchedness of this coast." "No, zur?" "But we can try to mitigate it." "We'll try," said I. "You an' me." "You and I." "And I," my sister said.
But, half an hour later, in Skipper Tommy's tilt, I was glad that the distance had been no greater, for then the twins were helping me thaw out my cheeks and the tip of my nose, which had been frozen on the way. That night the twins and I slept together in the cock-loft like a litter of puppies. "Beef!" sighed Jacky, the last thing before falling asleep. "Think o' that, Timmie!"
The very steadiness of the Major's tone told Barney that this experienced man of the North expected the worst. As they rushed down the white expanse, many thoughts raced through Barney's mind. It seemed that hunger and cold grew upon him with every whirl of the engine-shaft. He thought of Bruce and La Vaune. Would they ever return to La Vaune with the money which was rightfully hers? And Timmie?
Our folk fled to the tilts at the Lodge; and we were left alone with the maids and Timmie Lovejoy in my father's house: but had no idle times, for the doctor would not hear of it, but kept us at work or play, without regard for our wishes in the matter.
Come and see me again, Molly, and you, too, Timmie.” “Of course I’ll come,” Molly answered, “and I’m going to name my doll ‘Maida.’” Molly ran all the way home, her doll tightly clutched to her breast. But Timmie stopped to spin his top six times—Maida counted. No more customers came that evening. At six, Maida closed and locked the shop.
Skipper Tommy made haste to the small boat, the while raising a cry for Timmie, who had gone about his own pleasure, the Lord knew where! And Timmie ran down the path, as fast as his sea-boots would go: but was intercepted by Jonas Jutt, who drew him into the lower fish-stage, as though in fear of observation, and there whispered the circumstances of the departure of the Trap and Seine.
