Barby's voice, in his earphones! Rick pulled the unit from his pocket and turned up the volume. He couldn't hear her well. "It's Barby," he said swiftly. "Circle!" Rick strained to hear. She was talking to someone. "... It won't do the slightest bit of good to keep us here, because my brother will know where we are." The signal faded as she talked.
He already understood the melting eyes that were making acquaintance with his, and half felt the pain that gave so much tenderness to her kiss, and looked at her with a grave face of awakening wonder and sympathy. Fleda was glad to have business to call her into the kitchen. "Who is it?" was Barby's immediate question. "Aunt Lucy's daughter."
Georgina pondered over the explanation a while, then presently said with a sigh, "Goodness me, how easy it is to look at things the wrong way." Soon after her voice blended with Barby's in a return to the long neglected bedtime rite: "Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea."
Fleda's tears came hot again as she went up the walk; she held her head down to hide them and went round the back way. Now, the melancholy god protect thee; and the tailor make thy doublet of changeable taffeta, for thy mind is a very opal! Twelfth Night. "Well what did you come home for?" was Barby's salutation; "here's company been waiting for you till they're tired, and I am sure I be."
For a moment or two Barby's hand strayed caressingly over the bowed head. Then she said: "I wonder if you remember this old story I used to tell you, beginning, 'St. George of Merry England was the youngest and the bravest of the seven champions of Christendom.
The temper of the head of the family suffered in at least equal degree. From the first of Barby's coming, poor Fleda had done her utmost to prevent the want of Mons. Emile from being felt. Mr. Rossitur's table was always set by her careful hand, and all the delicacies that came upon it were, unknown to him, of her providing even the bread. One day, at breakfast, Mr.
Barby's pert face lengthened. "I don't suppose I can go, too?" Parnell Winston walked over and ruffled her blond hair. "Not this time, Barby. But I'll make you a promise. The next field expedition under my supervision will include my wife, you, and Jan Miller." The prospect of an expedition that included Jan, daughter of one of the staff physicists and her dearest friend, cheered Barby at once.
One taken with his High School class, and one with a group of young medical students, and one in the white service dress of an assistant surgeon of the navy. None of them corresponded with her dim memory of him. Then she went upstairs to Barby's room, and stood before the bureau, studying the picture upon it in a large silver frame.
"A very good effect," Scotty agreed. "Only stand by for misery and woe. Barby and Jan won't like this! After all, we destroyed a historic romance." The picnic crowd was eating again when the boys returned. They located the family and Rick strained to see the girls' faces, but it was too dark. Barby's voice said sternly, "Is that you, Rick Brant?" He admitted it, rather meekly. "Uh-uh."
He remembered Barby's comment of the night before. Had they gone to the houseboat? Pointer to Disaster Scotty ran to the speedboat and yelled, "Come on!" "Wait!" Rick called. "Let's not go barging off without knowing what we're doing." Scotty turned, puzzled. "What do you mean?" "The girls have some kind of plan, and we don't know what it is.
