To the left was a steep rocky cliff with trees and shrubs growing in the cracks of the rock. And the canal here left off running along the top of the hill and started to run on a bridge of its own a great bridge with tall arches that went right across the valley. Bobbie drew a long breath. "It IS grand, isn't it?" she said. "It's like pictures in the History of Rome."
Father was not dead like poor Uncle Edward Mother had said so. And he was not ill, or Mother would have been with him. Being poor wasn't the trouble. Bobbie knew it was something nearer the heart than money could be. "I mustn't try to think what it is," she told herself; "no, I mustn't. I AM glad Mother noticed about us not quarrelling so much. We'll keep that up."
I say, I must put the candle out now, because there mayn't be enough of the other one to get you out by." "By George," said he, "you think of everything." Bobbie blew. Out went the candle. You have no idea how black-velvety the darkness was. "I say, Bobbie," said a voice through the blackness, "aren't you afraid of the dark?" "Not not very, that is "
He sat in an armchair, considering the events of the evening, and trying to find some way out of the complexity of his thoughts. He was surprised when the morning sun sent a bright ray of light into his room. But Lady Kelsey was not yet at the end of her troubles. Bobbie, having got rid of his friends, went to her and asked if she would not come downstairs and drink a cup of soup.
"Your fire's all right now, Bobbie," Don said distinctly. Tim turned up his nose and faced in Wally Woods's direction. But Wally's fire, small and compact, gave him no excuse to tinker. He advanced to where Andy Ford was preparing to fry his meat. "Gee!" he said. "That sure is one sick-looking fire." "Suits me," said Andy. He laid the meat in the pan. Tim began to prod the fire with his foot.
They are the sternest and most uncompromising guardians of the law that I know. You can expostulate with a London bobbie, you can argue with a Paris gendarme, you can on occasion reason mildly with a New York policeman, but not with an Italian carbineer. To give them back talk is to invite immediate and serious trouble.
She tried to talk, to amuse him, and "take his mind off" his sufferings, but it is very difficult to go on talking in the dark, and presently they found themselves in a silence, only broken now and then by a "You all right, Bobbie?" or an "I'm afraid it's hurting you most awfully, Jim. I AM so sorry." And it was very cold.
Jane Allen was at the door before they heard her step. "Now," she called out in announcement of her presence, "Bobbie, you have no excuse. Even dad will be delighted, but he couldn't feel as I do about it. Bobbie, I'm just proud of you!" The dry lips moved but did not answer. "Why don't you trust me?" asked Jane flatly. "I know you are planning something, of course."
"You sha'n't go to Berlin!" she said to him, vehemently, as she just allowed him to take her hand. "Dear Lady Niton! I must." "You sha'n't! I tell you! I've got you a place in London a, thousand times, better than your fool of an uncle could ever get you. Uncle, indeed! Read that letter!" She tossed him one from her bag. Bobbie read, while Lady Niton stared hard at the girl.
By the time the sun went down, they were so fevered by the need of water that they had not the strength to bless the cool falling of the dark; they still carried the fire of the sunlight in their blood. "This man Campbell," said Harrigan, "he's a true man, McTee, and he stood up to White Henshaw for my sake for the sake of me and his Bobbie Burns.
