Adair caught Hilary on the other side, saying under breath: "Hold still, Rich! You must! The wild man from Borneo is right this time. It would be horribly bad form if you said a questioning word and, anyway, the judges saw what we did." Hilary turned upon Billy a look that made Allys hide her eyes, but nodded shortly, and strode away, not toward the stand.
"'T won't be long 'fore the old dog'll git down to business this mornin'," he muttered to Thayor in his low voice, as he steadied him along a slippery log. "The dog says Freme's allys sot on keepin' up too high. He thinks them deer is feedin' on what they kin git low down in the green timber underneath them big slides. I ain't of course, sayin' nothin' agin Freme.
"And, when he says he'll do a thing, he allys does it," continued Jorrocks, in testimony to the skipper's firmness of purpose. "He won't flog me again," said Tom, savagely, in answer to the boatswain's last remark. "Nor me," I put in. "Ah, you'd better keep quiet till you're ashore ag'in," advised our friend, meaningly.
The Hammond girl flushed that was what she had said of Allys when people laughed over the Rhett mots. But before she could counter, Allys cried joyously: "At last! The Heathflower thing! Really, she hasn't any looks but see her run, will you?" "She does move like a winner but it's impossible she can stay," Hilary said, almost arrogantly.
Was there any reason for the Wickliffe boy's unreason? Was there also any chance for him? there Adair stopped short, smiling a thought grimly to see how all unconsciously, all femininely, Allys drooped to Billy's upright, youthful strength. Hilary likewise noted it with a thumping heart that sent the color surging over his face.
They were headed for the paddock, although it was not quite time for the saddling bell. The Heathflower thing was still invisible Allys searched the course for her through Hilary's glass, saying the while over her shoulder, with her most infantine smile: "You thought right, Camilla dear. I don't really know anything have only a parrot faculty of repeating what I hear."
Tim's orange jacket and scarlet sash were dust-dimmed by the time he came to the stand. But right in front of him were Aldegonde's tiger stripes, black and yellow, and the blue and white in the saddle of Aramis. "Last all the way eh, Miss Allys?"
Who is the Wickliffe boy? Tell us that before we play his tip," Adair demanded. Hilary could not speak for laughing. Allys smiled entrancingly. "The Wickliffe boy is a knight-errant born out of time," she said. "I'm wondering if it will last. We came to know him last summer mother and I down at Hollymount, my uncle's place in Virginia.
There was something faltering and ill-assured in her manner, and in a moment she turned back with 'Mr. Underwood, where are you stopping? He answered; and with 'I'll tell my sisters, she parted with them again. 'That's Miss Bridget, commented old Tripp. 'She's the one as allys says, "I'll tell my sisters." They do say as Miss Isabella, she be the master on 'em all.
They called me Rube, and Johnny-on-the-spot-of-wealth, and Shekels, and a heap of other things. But I didn't mind. Still, next time I'll send my money by one of those commissioner fellows. To-day I couldn't risk it." "What makes you so suddenly avaricious, Billy?" Allys asked. "Last summer you cared less for money than anything. There must be a reason tell me, does it wear frocks?"
