"I send all my love to you, my sweetheart. "Your own, Jinnie kissed the words "my sweetheart" too, and then joyfully slipped the letter inside her dress. She daren't speak of his coming, for how could she conceal her happiness from Lafe? At two o'clock, she said to Peggy: "May I take Bobbie for a little walk, dear?" The blind child heard the request and scrambled up.
Whisht, man, I'm goin'! Think no more av it!" Campbell's eyes grew moist with the temptation, but then the fighting blood of his clan ran hot through his veins. "Sit down," he commanded. "Sit down and wait till the order comes. It's a fine thing to be chief engineer, but it's a better thing to be a man. What does Bobbie say?" And he quoted in a ringing voice: "A man's a man for a' that!"
"I'll walk if you'll lead me," Bobbie explained proudly. Thus rebuffed, Jinnie turned the blind face toward the east, and together they made their way slowly to the plank walk. They trailed along in silence, the girl watching the birds as flock after flock disappeared in the north woods. Now and then, when Jinnie looked at the boy, she felt the pride which comes only with possession.
"What is it?" Mother asked. But Bobbie only said, "Come upstairs, come up where nobody can hear us." When she had got Mother alone in her room she locked the door and then stood quite still, and quite without words.
But you remember, young gentleman, stealing is stealing, and what's mine isn't yours, whether you call it mining or whether you don't. Run along home." "Do you mean you aren't going to do anything to us? Well, you are a brick," said Peter, with enthusiasm. "You're a dear," said Bobbie. "You're a darling," said Phyllis. "That's all right," said the Station Master. And on this they parted.
Wally and Alex would practice straight bandaging at night after Alex had finished his labors at the Union grocery store. Bobbie accepted the arrangement in silence. As the meeting broke up and the scouts crowded into the hall, he pulled at Don's sleeve. "Must I work with Tim?" he asked. "Tim's strong and you're light," Don explained.
This business ought to be in the hands of the church board; you young folks have no Scriptural rights to speak on the subject at all." The three young Christians looked at Uncle Bobbie, whose left eye remained closed for just the fraction of a second, and the speaker wondered at the confident smile with which his words were received.
The players take it in turns to go out, and then come back and look as like some advertisement as they can, and the others have to guess what advertisement it is meant to be. Bobbie came in and sat down under Mother's umbrella and made a sharp face, and everyone knew she was the fox who sits under the umbrella in the advertisement.
No one tried to keep track of "Bobbie," as the country girl was now popularly known, for she ran, climbed, crawled and burrowed, until Jane and Judith had cause to step lively indeed to keep up with her.
O Bobbie! Bob bie!" Don forgot that he was a woods fugitive. "That's Andy's voice," he shouted. "We're almost out. Come on, Tim. Rush for it." They gave no care now to what noise they made. Don felt Tim take his arm to help him. He hobbled and hopped and squirmed, and only paused when the tender ankle brought him up wincing and shivering. "Easy," said Tim. "No hurry. See that opening?
