If he could persuade her to a boat-ride with him on the lake, Sunday evening, the week was complete. He even learned to know the more shy and delicate forest-blossoms that she preferred, and would come in from a day's guiding with a tiny bunch of belated twin-flowers, or a few purple-fringed orchids, or a handful of nodding stalks of the fragrant pyrola, for her.
"I remember," he said to himself, "she had no word of indignation for the perfidious Roman at the Fountain of Castalia! I remember she extolled him at the boat-ride on the lake in the Orchard of Palms! And, ah!" he stopped, and beat his left hand violently with his right "ah! that mystery about the appointment she made with me at the Palace of Idernee is no mystery now!"
Glad to see you as if I'd stuck a nail in my foot. By George! he! he! You won't mind my carryin' on. Nobody minds me. I'm the privileged infant, you know. I am, by George! he! he! Come, Kate, let's take a boat-ride. "Oh! come, love, come; my boat's by the shore; If yer don't ride now, I won't ax you no more." And so forth. Too hoarse to sing. But I am not too feeble to paddle my own canoe.
He had laid siege to Katy in his fashion, slouching in of an evening, and boasting of his exploits until Smith Westcott would come and chirrup and joke, and walk Katy right away from him to take a walk or a boat-ride. Then he would finish the yarn which Westcott had broken in the middle, to Mrs. Plausaby or Miss Marlay, and get up and remark that he thought maybe he mout as well be a-gittin' on.
It seemed to Gypsy the pleasantest boat-ride she had ever taken; but Tom became tired of it before she did, and went up to the house, carrying Winnie with him. Gypsy stayed a little while to row by herself. "Be sure you lock the boat when you come up," called Tom, in starting. "Oh yes," said Gypsy, "I always do." "Did you bring up the oars?" asked Tom, at supper. "Yes, they're in the barn.
Pretty soon we saw Eugenia and Stuart going down toward one of them, a little white canvas one, and they stepped in and rowed off down the shining waterway. It was only a narrow creek, but the moonlight seemed to glorify it, and we knew that it made them think of that boat-ride that had been the beginning of their happiness, in far-away Venice. "The other boat was larger.
Ben Lomond, a mountain rising to a height of more than three thousand feet, stands on the shore, and it is said that Robert Bruce, the hero of Bannockburn, once hid himself in a cave in this mountain. A pleasant boat-ride down the lake brought me back to Glasgow in time to attend a meeting of the brethren in Coplaw Street that night.
Then we can have a little boat-ride all our own, eh? You and me, darling, on a boat-trip all our own." She turned her shining eyes full upon him. "That'll be just perfect, Irving!" she said. In the great human democracy, revolution cannot uncrown the builder of bridges to place upon his throne the builder of pantry shelves.
"He ought to be taught better than to come where older people are, especially if they don't want him." "I suppose he likes to have a boat-ride as well as we do," suggested Gypsy. "Winthrop!" called Tom, severely. Winnie's chin was on his little fat hand, and Winnie's eyes were fixed upon the water, and Winnie was altogether too deeply absorbed in meditation to deign a reply.
But for her acquiescence in the infatuation of Alice Webster, Oswald never would have encouraged the growing sentiment of this girl. Had Esther remained at Northfield, Oswald would have stayed away from London. But for Esther's apparent desire that Oswald and Alice take the boat-ride while she accompanied Sir Donald to the opera, both now would be alive.
