Mike looked all about for some evidence of the children or elders, but not a sign or sound was to be heard except the strange cracklings of forest silences. Mike gave a shrill whistle to call anyone who had strayed close by, but no one answered except Babs who was suddenly awakened from her nap. "O-oh, Mike! Did oo know I is losted affer oo?" said she, rubbing her eyes with her mittened hands.
Lord Dennis drew Barbara away, but at the door he whispered: "Stay here quietly, Babs; I don't like the look of this." Unnoticed, Barbara remained hovering.
Neither of you appreciate what you are to the other I'm simply speaking from my impression; Babs hasn't said anything, naturally, and I've hardly had two words with you until to-night ; if it had been less easy " "If your uncle had forbidden me the house?" he suggested. "If either of you were in danger of losing the other . . . I wonder what you think of me, talking like this?" "I'm grateful."
It must be hard to bring up a child, and go through all the anxiety and care and worry, and then, just when she is old enough to be a real companion, to have to give her up, and see her go away with a "perfect stranger," as Spencer says. Last night, when I was going to bed, father held me in his arms, and said: "Thank heaven, I shall have you left, Babs!
And since this is a pretty risky operation, you'd better send a service message asking what you're to do with yourself. They'll probably tell you to take the next rocket back and report to the secretarial pool, I'm afraid. The same fate probably awaits West and Jamison and Bell." Babs said guiltily: "Mr. Cochrane you've been so busy I had to use my own judgment. I didn't want to interrupt you ."
Hope had been very nearly dead for the last few months, and the sudden change from despair to practical certainty was too great to realise. It seemed as if she did not know how to be thankful enough. She said to me once "I am going to get well, Babs, but I must never forget this experience!
Yet I had to make sure that he and Glora would stay as close to Polter as possible. "All right," Alan agreed. "Listen to them." Polter was talking to Babs. But I didn't hear the words I moved a trifle away. Rash decision! I hardly decided anything. There was only the vision of Babs before me and my love for her. My desperate need of doing something; getting to her, seeing her, being with her.
"My dear child," in quite a startled voice, "what a programme for a birthday!" "It will be just lovely," returned Anna with sparkling eyes. "I do so long to see Goliath and Yea-Verily and Babs. You know, Malcolm, I have only been twice to your rooms in Cheyne Walk once with mother, and once when we had been to the Albert Hall and each time the Kestons were away."
He had Johnny Simms on the floor and was throttling him. Johnny Simms strangled and tore at his fingers. Sanity came back to Cochrane with the effect of something snapping. He got up. He nodded to Babs and she picked up the gun Johnny Simms had used. "I think," said Cochrane, breathing hard, "that you're a good sample of everything I dislike. The worst thing you do is make me act like you!
There came a time when all the paper-work connected with what had happened was done with, and conditional contracts drawn up on everything that could be foreseen. It was time for something new to happen. Cochrane said dubiously: "Babs, have you seen the ship?" She shook her head. "I think we'd better go take a look at it," said Cochrane. "Do you know, I've been acting like a damned business man!
