And the nights came, one after another, and were filed away by weeks and months nights soft and languorous and fragrant, that should have driven Strephon to Chloe over wires however barbed, that might have drawn Cupid himself to hunt, lasso in hand, among those amorous pastures but Teddy kept his fences up. One July night Madame Bo-Peep and her ranch manager were sitting on the east gallery.
Each day for many days after that Little Bo-Peep wandered about the hills seeking the tails of her sheep, and those who met her wondered what had happened to make the sweet little maid so anxious. But there is an end to all troubles, no matter how severe they may seem to be, and It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray Unto a meadow hard by, There she espied their tails side by side.
For to tell the truth, I was heartily tired of lurking and playing bo-peep so long; to which nothing could have reconciled me, except my fear for Lorna. And here I saw was a man of strength fit for me to encounter, such as I had never met, but would be glad to meet with; having found no man of late who needed not my mercy at wrestling, or at single-stick.
"You see," said he, "that Mazarin, like a Jack-in-the-bog, plays at Bo-peep; but you see that, whether he appears or disappears, the wire by which the puppet is drawn on or off the stage is the royal authority, which is not likely to be broken by the measures now on foot.
Christopher Thornley is one of that sort; when you are discussing one side of a thing with him, you'll find him playing bo-peep with you round the other; and you never can get him into the right mood at the right time. He makes me simply furious sometimes. Do you know, I think if I were a dog I should often bite Christopher? He makes me angry in a biting kind of way."
Little Bo-Peep listened, smiling, and with her head a little to one side, until the stanza was finished, and then she replied as follows: "Oh, Little Boy Blue, when the skies are beaming And my heart is happy and free, When the green grass smiles, where it lies a-dreaming, And the birds are up in the tree, I lift my eyes to the arch above us, So soft and tender and blue, And I know that the earth and the sky both love us, And I tenderly think of you, Of you, Of you, of you, of you!"
"My name is Jacob, that's my name; And tho' I'm old, the old man's game The air it is so good, d'ye see: And on the plain my flock I keep, And sing all day to please my sheep, And never lose them like Bo-Peep, Becos the ways of them are known to me."
"You could scarcely expect me to be pleased, sir. The news was broken to me very suddenly, and I was tired after my long journey, too." "Yes; and you vented your spite on me, on poor old Bo-peep, who has the kindest heart in Christendom."
Winnie, too, would cling to him, and lay her little soft cheek to his red coarse face, and clasp her tiny arms about his neck, and play with the yellow locks as if they were the sunbeams themselves; and then she would jump and crow as he played bo-peep with her, and stretch out her wee hands and cry as he turned away and went tramping down the stairs.
We'll soon fill your poor mother's thin cheeks out, and get her rosy and plump, and then she'll be a more charming Little-sing to her own Bo-peep than ever." Maggie was silent. "Come, come," said Martin, patting her hand; "it's all right about Laburnum Villa, ain't it, my girl?" "No, Mr. Martin," said Maggie then. She withdrew her hand and turned and looked at him fixedly.
