While I stood in the yard cogitating, a woman whose white-spotted blue dress was for the most part covered by a very white apron emerged from the scullery door, holding one hand over her eyes to shade them from the morning sun. 'Ha! she said, in a managing tone; 'so you're the new lad, are you? I smiled somewhat bashfully, this being a question I was not yet in a position to answer definitely.
"Forgot you!" cried her father tenderly; and then immediately, as if ashamed of this outburst of fatherly love, he added calmly and almost sternly "I have much to talk with you, Elise. You have accused me." Elise interrupted him with anxious haste: "I was beside myself," said she, confused and bashfully. "Forgive me, my father; passion made me unjust."
Then one of them swam across and they made their way to our place, and we fixed them up with dry things and drove them home. I don't think they've gone in for canoeing since!" finished Jim reflectively. "Well, I guess it would discourage them a bit," Wally agreed. "Getting shipwrecked's no fun." "Ever tried it?"

She was barren of the art of the coquette. "Why, of course I like you," she replied, prettily. "Haven't you ever thought anything else about me?" he went on.
