In a few minutes the car stopped at the door of Mrs. Waring-Gaunt's house. "I shall just run in for a moment," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "Kathleen will want to see you, and perhaps will go home with you. I shall send her out." Out from the vine-shadowed porch into the white light came Kathleen, stood a moment searching the faces of the party, then moved toward Dr.
Waring-Gaunt, with a warm smile of admiration at the wholesome, sun-browned face. "Come along, Miss Nora back in a short time, eh, what?" "Short time?" said Nora. "Not if I go. Not till we can't see the birds." "Can't you come, Nora?" said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, "I want to talk to you, and we'll drive to-day and let the men shoot. Where is Kathleen? Is she busy?" "Busy?
My nurse is perfectly competent to take care of me in the meantime." At sixteen-forty-five the Waring-Gaunt car was standing at the Melville Station awaiting the arrival of the train which was to bring Jane and her father, but no train was in sight. Larry, after inquiry at the wicket, announced that she was an hour late.
Waring-Gaunt. "Certainly Tremaine is not with them." "I hope they get properly trimmed for it," said Nora, indignantly. "Such cheek!" The result of the match quite exceeded Nora's fondest hopes, for the High River team, having made the fatal error of despising the enemy, suffered the penalty of their mistake in a crushing defeat.
Waring-Gaunt," cried Jane, shaking her head emphatically, "I am not the least bit like her. That is one of the points on which I disagree with father. We do not agree upon everything, you know." "No? What are some of the other points?" "We agree splendidly about Kathleen," said Jane, laughing. "Just now we differ about Germany." "Aha, how is that?" inquired Jack, immediately alert.
Yes, I will hold on. Sixteen-forty-five, I might have known. What do you say? Oh, could you? Oh, dear Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, how perfectly splendid of you! But are you sure you can? Oh, you are just lovely. Yes, she has one trunk, but that can come in the democrat. Oh, that is perfectly lovely! Thank you so much. Good-bye. What? Yes, oh, yes, certainly I must go. Will there be room for him?
There's the tea for all those men." "Nonsense, Nora, run along. I can do quite well without you. Larry is coming in early and he will help. Run along, both of you." "But there isn't room for us all," said Kathleen. "Room? Heaps," said Mr. Waring-Gaunt. "Climb in here beside me, Miss Nora." "Oh, it will be great," said Nora. "Can you really get along, Mother?" "Nonsense," said the mother.
You know this whole mine was getting terribly Switzery. Isn't he awful? He just terrifies me. I know he will undertake to run me one of these days." "Then trouble, eh, what?" said Waring-Gaunt, pleasantly. After a short run the motor pulled up at a wheat field in which the shocks were still standing and which lay contiguous to a poplar bluff.
Waring-Gaunt for ignoring her." "Don't think of it," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "Do you know, Jane," continued Dr. Brown, "that at this present moment you are passing through scenery of its kind unsurpassed possibly in the world?" "I was talking to Larry, Papa," said Jane, and they all laughed at her. "I was talking to Jane," said Larry.
Waring-Gaunt, it is Kathleen speaking. Yes, thank you, quite well. Oh, I have been quite all right, a little shaken perhaps. Yes, isn't it splendid? Nora is quite wild, you know. Jane is her dearest friend and she has not seen her since we were children, but they have kept up a most active correspondence. Of course, I saw a great deal of her last year.
