Every cove was investigated, and anything that might have been a boat was inspected carefully. Then, as they reached the summer colony north of Seaford, Barby exclaimed, "Look! There's that fancy houseboat again!" The houseboat was putting out from land, swinging on a northerly course. Rick saw that it was powered by twin outboards and that it cruised at about fifteen knots. Scotty yelled, "Hey!
"The alternative seems to be of a limited application," said the doctor, as Fleda, having found that Hugh and Barby had been beforehand with her, now came back to the company. "I am sure this lady would not give such a testimony." "About what?" said Fleda, colouring under the fire of so many eyes. "The blighting influence of Ceres' sceptre," said Mr. Thorn.
"And how long be you going to sit up?" said Barby. "I don't know a while yet." "You look proper for it!" said Barby, half sorrowfully and half indignantly; "you look as if a straw would knock you down this minute. There's sense into everything. You catch me a- going to bed, and leaving you up!
They should have been the bond of sympathy. The son, a sorrowful little motherless boy, was sent to the Moravian school at Niesky, and then to Barby. He was to escape the contamination of the universities, and the woes through which his father had passed. Even there the spirit of the age pursued him. The precocious lad, in his loneliness, raised every question which the race was wrestling with.
Tucking the unit into his pocket, he ran out and joined Scotty again. If Barby had her set she wasn't using it. "Come on." He led the way to the boat cove and stopped short. The speedboat was there, and so was the Scuba cart, but the rowboat wasn't. Anxiously he scanned the water. There was no sign of the girls. Where were they? Where? The thought struck him.
"No, but he is coming to-day, I understand." "He ha'n't preached for 'em yet, has he?" "Not yet; I suppose he will next Sunday." "They are in a mighty hurry to give him a donation party!" said Barby. "I'd ha' waited till he was here first. I don't believe they'd be quite so spry with their donations if they had paid the last man up as they ought.
Skillcorn had been called in good time by Barby at Fleda's suggestion, and coming down stairs had opined discontentedly that "a man hadn't no right to be took out of bed in the morning afore he could see himself." But this, and Barby's spirited reply, that "there was no chance of his doing that at any time of day, so it was no use to wait," Fleda did not repeat.
McDevitt, who had just driven over from the rocket range, was a tall, lean engineer dressed in slacks and a spectacular sport shirt emblazoned with tropical flowers. He shook hands cordially. "You're Hartson Brant's boys. We've certainly enjoyed having your family over at the island. When Barby and Jan leave, the whole base will go into mourning." Rick grinned. "Somebody loses, somebody wins.
"I'll tell 'em you're here." "Do not disturb any one for me," said he. "I won't disturb 'em!" said Barby, in a tone a little, though unconsciously, significant. Mr. Carleton neglected the chair she had placed for him, and remained standing by the mantel-piece, thinking of the scenes of his early introduction to that kitchen.
Fleda felt sick, merely from the mysterious dread which could fasten upon nothing and therefore took in everything. "Well what about tea?" concluded Barby, when the fire was going according to her wishes. "Will you have it, or will you wait longer?" "No we won't wait we will have it now, Barby," said Fleda, forcing herself to make the exertion; and she went to the window to put down the hangings.
