She said she had heard him singing over to her house and couldn't keep away, and then, with a smile and a look into his eyes, she asked O'Donnell what was his hurry and didn't he remember her? In her suit of yachting blue, with glowing face and tumbled hair, she was a picture. "Look at her," nudged Clancy "isn't she a corker? But she's wasting time on Tom O'Donnell."
He has been out with a yachting party all summer, the Altons of New York, you know, and I had a line from his last port. He will be back in about a week. I'm awfully anxious to see him. We have great times always, but he got in service, through the Canadian lines, and I got left, so I haven't seen Dick since."
The owner of the steam-yacht was trying to convince Tommie that yachting would be more in his line than fishing, but Tommie couldn't see it. "But why not?" he asked at last. "Why not, Mr. Clancy? Is it a matter of money? If it is, I'll make that right. I pay ordinary hands twenty-five and thirty dollars a month and found, but I'll pay you fifty sixty seventy dollars a month to go with me.
Father put the Cap Sheaf on his big Experiment by accepting an invitation to go Yachting. He put them side by side on Deck and told them to comfort each other, in case anything happened. They never could have been quite the same to each other after that Day. Bernice wanted to get back on Shore and hunt her Room and peel down to a Kimono and refuse any Callers for a Month.
Pendants known as "lavaleers" hung from necks otherwise innocent of the costly fopperies of Versailles. Old ladies clad in princess dresses with yachting caps worn rakishly on their grey hair, vied with other old ladies in automobile bonnets, who, with opera glasses, searched out the meaning of every passing buoy.
A little farther onward, laughing, smoking, chatting, eating ices outside a Cafe Chantant, were a group of Englishmen a yachting party, whose schooner lay in the harbor. He lingered a moment; and lighted a fusee, just for the sake of hearing the old familiar words. As he bent his head, no one saw the shadow of pain that passed over his face. But one of them looked at him curiously and earnestly.
Nobody in America had ever seen the real Dr. Claudius; none of the yachting party had any means of knowing whether he were what he pretended to be or not; the only person who vouched for him was Silas B. Barker junior. And if Silas B. Barker junior would not vouch for him any longer, who would, pray? Obviously, no one. "Dukes are very pretty things," said Mr.
She is just heaving up her anchor; her foresail is loose, all ready to cast her in a few minutes she will be under weigh. You see that there are some ladies sitting at the taffrail; and there are five haunches of venison hanging over the stern. Of all amusements, give me yachting. But we must go on board.
The night was so still that even her light footstep could be heard on the deck. And she was surprised to hear a muffled hail from some invisible craft astern. As she moved to the rail her tall form in the yachting suit standing out plainly in the moonlight she saw a small boat scurry away.
"Sure enough," said her brother. "We must call ma up to see him dressed in those sweet, pretty yachting flannels. Oh, there you are!" as Mrs. Bines joined them. "Just take this glass and treat yourself to a look at your old friend, the baron. You'll notice he has one on see they're waving to us." "Doesn't the baron look just too distinguished beside Mr. Higbee?" said Psyche, watching them.
