Tom himself, come back to life, was standing on the capstan waving his cap in the air, and cheering and laughing like a mad thing. Aralia and Pansy reached the quarter-deck before anyone could say "knife", and, black as they were, sprang right into Captain Staysail's arms, hugging him and kissing him. "What! what! what! " He tried to get out a sentence, but failed.
"Oh yes; but how could you?" were the first words that came to Anna; but she felt rebuked by a strange look of utter surprise, and instead of answering her he replied to General Mohun "Thanks, no, I'll walk up!" as a rough coat was thrown over his dripping and scanty garments. "The wisest way," said the General. "Can you, Fergus?" "Yes, quite well. Oh, my aralia!"
Inside, the walls were twenty feet high all round, all bare rock; but the floor was covered with grass, and moss, and wild flowers. Aralia and Pansy were wild with delight, and Pansy said she would now be able to sleep without ugly dreams. Veevee would be her bed-fellow, and Floss would curl up with Sissie, and big Briton could sleep at the entrance. So it was all arranged.
Aralia knew what class of vessel each was by its rig; her best of uncles had taught her. And well could she use the spy-glass too, which she now held to her right eye. It had been hard at first to keep the left closed, but she could manage it now quite easily without asking Pansy to clap a hand over it.
I thought you had had enough of that." "I thought I might find my aralia!" sighed Fergus. "The tide was almost as low." Just then there resounded from behind a projecting rock a peal of undesirable singing, a shout of laughter, and an oath, with "Holloa, those little beasts of teetotallers have hooked it." There were confused cries- "Haul 'em back! Drench 'em.
It was very dark this evening, so that the children at first could hardly see anything. But Pete soon had them all hoisted up on to the bridge. And now he turned on the electric and coloured lights crimson, blue, and orange. Then, what a sight was there! It was one that caused Pansy and Aralia quite to forget the beauty of a pantomime they had seen the winter before.
But he found a bit, sure enough, and was ready to break his heart when he had to leave his bag behind him on the rock. Aralia a young lady! That's a good one." He forgathered with a school-fellow on the way home, and Anna heard little more. The next day, however, there arrived the daily local paper, addressed to Sir Adrian Vanderkist, Bart., and it was opened by him at breakfast-time. "I say!
They made the Palm House an allowance of coal and coke in winter while we poor human beings went without. I used often to come in here on a winter's day to get warm and to forget my sorrows.... "Look at that superb Raphia what fronds! And that Phoenix spinosa and that Aralia " Rossiter: "Bother the Aralia. I haven't come here for a Botany lesson.
If it had been Wilfred I might have been afraid." "His head is full- at least as much room as the lost aralia leaves of the examination for the Winchester College election." "Yes, you know Jasper has actually promised Gillian that if either of her brothers gets a scholarship, she may be allowed a year at Lady Margaret Hall."
Before they could walk half the distance back, the snow-fog had swallowed them, and it was no wonder that they lost their way, and became cold and faint and dizzy. Both Aralia and Pansy began to cry now, and at last sank down among the dry snow, unable to move another yard. Tom was a boy of great courage.
