The fire, jumping out, didn't hurt the cobbler one wee bit, but it burned the wicked men " Jinnie paused, gathered a deep breath, and brought to mind Lafe's droning voice when he had used the same words, "Burned 'em root and branch," declared she. Bobbie's face shone with happiness. "Is that all?" he begged. "Isn't it enough?" asked Jinnie, with tender chiding.
Without answering him, Jinnie said: "Then take Happy Pete and don't move until I get back. Just pray and pray and pray! That's all." Happy Pete snuggled his head under Bobbie's arm and they both sat very still. The boy scarcely dared to breathe, he was so anxious to please his Jinnie. The farthest window in the inner room door seemed to be the best one to attack.
This done, the girl returned to Molly, who stood at the window staring out upon the tracks. She turned quickly, and Jinnie noticed her eyes were full of tears. "I suppose you won't refuse to tell me something of my my little boy?" she pleaded. Tears welled over Jinnie's lids too. Bobbie's presence and adoration were still fresh in her mind. "He's dead," she mourned. "My little Bobbie!
'That comes of your open fires, observed Fernando. 'What was it? asked Lance. 'I don't know. I think it was a list of names! Oh! how vexed he'll be, and Wilmet; for she told me never to get on a chair over the fender, and I forgot. Bobbie's round face was puckering for a cry.
"I d-d-don't think I'd he'd " "And I'd say to him: 'Julien, will you marry me? Like that." "Oh!" said Bobbie in outraged amazement. "And maybe " continued the Bonnie Lassie judicially: "maybe I'd kiss him. Yes. I think I would." Suddenly all the bright softness of Bobbie's large eyes dissolved in tears. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," she sobbed.
"Be a good sport Judy," urged Jane, "and help us stage a real happy ending. Don't you want to jump on Firefly and ride him over to the stable?" "I don't. Why has Shirley become Bobbie?" Jane wanted to laugh, but Bobbie's face was very serious, and Shirley's lip was quivering. Jane released her horse and watched him canter over to the stable. "We'll all be late for tea, but never mind," she said.
Bobbie clutched Happy Pete with one arm and struggled up, holding out a set of slender fingers that shook like small reeds in a storm. "Yes, I want to see 'er," he breathed. "Do you know where she is?" "If you'll come along with me, I'll take you to her. Bring the dog if you like." "I want to see her to-day," stated Bobbie. Jordan Morse took Bobbie's hand in his.
"It were that ducking of his heed did it, sure enough," said Mattha, "that and the drink together. I mind Bobbie's father just sic like, just sic like! Poor auld Martha, she hed a sad bout of it, she hed, what with father and son. And baith good at the bottom, too, baith, poor lads."
"I'll go down to the station," she said, "and talk to Perks and ask about the signalman's little boy." So she went down. On the way she passed the old lady from the Post-office, who gave her a kiss and a hug, but, rather to Bobbie's surprise, no words except: "God bless you, love " and, after a pause, "run along do."
'My wife, Mr Brindley explained gravely. 'Now, I may as well tell you now, Bob, said she, still smiling at me. 'Bobbie's got a sore throat and it may be mumps; the chimney's been on fire and we're going to be summoned; and you owe me sixpence. 'Why do I owe you sixpence? 'Because Annie's had her baby and it's a girl. 'That's all right. Supper ready? 'Supper is waiting for you. She laughed.
