"I only thought you were doing it to fill in at our opening engagement; to prevent the public's howling, Joe. But if you want to keep on with it, why, I'm willing, and thankful too." "All right, I'll do it!" decided Joe. "Good! Unpack the tank, boys!" cried Jim Tracy. "Set her up and fill her with water. We'll have a 'boy fish' act after all!"
It was now growing dark, and the Rovers concluded to go up to their rooms and unpack their trunks, which had just come in from the depot. "You fellows want to keep your eyes wide open to-night," cautioned Stanley, who came up with them. "Hazing?" asked Dick. "So I was told." "Will they start in so early?" asked Sam. "Any time after midnight.
He said little, and seemed rather forlorn till leave was given him to unpack some goods which he could not easily damage. Just as Marian was dressed, there was a knock at the door, and without waiting for an answer, Caroline and Clara entered, the former saying, "I hope you find everything comfortable: you see we make you quite at home, and stand on no ceremony."
"My own, thank you," bluntly answered Lionel, "I'll and unpack." He brushed hastily by her, and ran into the house up stairs, his roughness contrasting with her affectionate tone. She looked at Marian, and saw the trace of tears on her eyelids, and her own lip quivered while her eyes filled, and she said in a trembling voice, "Poor dear boy! has he been telling you? Does he know it all?"
"I can arrange about the tickets in three minutes. As for the trunks, Mrs. Willing's maid will be only too glad to unpack them for you. Do do stay." She laughed at his eagerness, though at it her heart seemed to swell a little. "And if they've already gone to the station?" "I can put my hand on ten men who will drive like the devil to bring them back."
There had been an atmosphere of peace in quiet Welsley. He was afraid of such an atmosphere and had sought always its opposite. "Why have I come here?" he thought again. In this small place he felt exposed, almost as if he were naked and could be seen by strangers. In Pera at least he was covered. "I shall have to go away from here," he thought. He got up from the bed and began to unpack.
Is that it?" "Uh." "That's what he is. Anvik has got you properly located this time. Ha, ha!" laughed Chunky. "Come, boys, unpack. We must give our guide his first lesson. You sit down and watch us, Anvik, while we make camp." The guide did so, grunting with approval or disapproval from time to time as the work pleased or displeased him.
It was, no doubt, those sweet shining faces, wreathed with free artless smiles, that had caused the lady-killers to unpack their portmanteaus. My own eyes dwelt not upon these. Ever since our arrival upon the ground, I had been watching with keen glances the opening that led into the corral. Every one who came forth man or woman had been the object of my scrutiny.
Unpack my running-suit and rub some dirt on it it's too new. I think I'll limber up, and let her get a look at the clothes." "It's a bright idea; but don't let these animal-trainers see you run, or the stuff will be cold in a minute." "Fine! We'll have secret practice! That suits me perfectly." Speed laughed with joy.
That seemed to cheer him up quite a bit, for he turned away from the mirror with a less hopeless expression on his face and began to unpack his valise and distribute the contents about the room. Later he borrowed some of Zephania's hot water from the singing kettle and shaved himself.
