"You ha'n't lost no flesh," said Barby shaking hands with her anew. "What did they think of Queechy keep, down in York?" "I don't know I didn't ask them," said Fleda. "How goes the world with you, Barby?" "I'm mighty glad you are come home, Fleda," said Barby lowering her voice. "Why?" said Fleda in a like tone.
"But now just think of that, Fleda, how you might have stayed in Queechy all your days and done what you liked with everybody. I'm glad you ain't, though; I guess you'll be better off." Fleda was silent upon that. "I'd like amazingly to see how you'll be fixed," said Barby after a trifle of ruminating. "If 'twa'n't for my old mother I'd be 'most a mind to pull up sticks and go after you."
Rick and Scotty can catch fish underwater and put them on my hook, then signal me to pull up. If the fish aren't heavy enough to ruin my rest, I'll haul them in." Mr. and Mrs. Brant had already made plans to take a vacation in Canada, and Barby was registered at a summer girl's camp. Weiss, Winston, Gordon, and Shannon, the other staff scientists, were away on various projects.
"Which cow? why the blue cow there ain't none of the others that's giving any, to speak of," said Barby looking at her. "Don't you know, the cow you said them carrots should be kept for?" Fleda half laughed, as there began to rise up before her the various magazines of vegetables, grain, hay, and fodder, that for many weeks had been deliciously distant from her imagination.
The Morrisons had already set a day for their departure to Barby's great unhappiness. As Barby said at dinner one night, "I didn't realize how lonely it gets sometimes without another girl on the island. Until Jan came, that is. Now she's going, and I wish she weren't." "I'd love to stay," Jan said. "Really I would." Hartson Brant arrived in time to hear the last exchange.
The words were no sooner out than Jan had a delayed reaction, too. Rick rushed the two of them into the cabin and made them sit down with heads bent low. Scotty found water and gave them each a drink. "You've acted like a couple of champs," Rick told them. "But for the love of mike, don't faint now!" Barby lifted her chin. "I have no intention of fainting," she said defiantly.
Starting with the campfire site, Barby and the boys had excavated Pirate's Field under Tony's direction. They had unearthed positive evidence that pirates had landed there. The most vital evidence was the remains of a logbook, once the log of the bark Maiden Hand, sunk by the woman pirate Anne Bonney off the island of Clipper Cay in the Virgin Islands.
"Who is Barby?" was the next question, in a most uncompromising tone of voice. "You saw the woman that came in to put wood on the fire that was Barby she is very good and kind, and will do anything for you if you behave yourself." The child muttered, but so low as to show some unwillingness that his words should reach the ears that were nearest him, that "he wasn't going to behave himself."
"Will you go with me, Hugh?" "No dear, I can't; I must get a little ahead with the wood while I can; it looks as if it would snow again; and Barby isn't provided for more than a day or two." "And how for this fire?" Hugh shook his head, and rose up to go forth into the kitchen.
"If you could get hold o' some young feller that wa'n't sot up with an idee that he was a grown man and too big to be told, I'd just clap to and fix that little room up stairs for him and give him his victuals here, and we'd have some good of him; instead o' having him streakin' off just at the minute when he'd ought to be along." "Who is there we could get, Barby?"
