He spoke to Mrs. Galleon: "I wonder if you will do me a favour," he said very earnestly. "Anything in reason," she answered, laughing back at his gravity. "Well, don't call me Mr. Westcott any more. Because I'm going to live here and because I'm too old a friend of Bobby's and because, finally, I hate being called Mr. Westcott by anybody, might it be Peter?"
When they reached the township, they found that the others had everything ready for a start, Bobby's share in the tools and the tucker being made up with the others, as though his joining had been settled long before he met Tony.
He came to with a start, rapping his knee against the gunwale of the boat. Mr. Kincaid held his hand up warningly, then pointed toward the decoys. Bobby looked, and saw, preening its feathers calmly, a live duck rising to the wavelets. Mr. Kincaid handed over two 22-short cartridges. Bobby's breath caught with a gasp.
There was a gleam in his eyes, a setting of the lips, a line sinking into the forehead between the eyes. "I've been watching for him all day, and I'll watch till he comes. I'm going to say some things to him that he won't forget. I'm going to get Bobby's money, or have the law do it unless you think I'm a brute, Nett." She looked at him wistfully. "That's all right. Don't worry about me, Jo.
There are no kissings, however, only some rather formal hand-shakings; and then Algy, as being possessed of the nearest approach to manners of the family, walks on with him. The other three adhere to me. "Well," say I, for the third time, holding Barbara by one hand, and resting the other on Bobby's stout arm, dressed in cricketing-flannel, while Tou Tou backs before us with easy grace.
For a moment, until he marshaled his wandering wits, he believed it no dream at all, but a reality, and then as the happenings of the previous afternoon and night were remembered, he realized his position, and Bobby's going, and he began wildly digging away the snow with his hands.
Ferris grinned as he noted the light of battle dawning in Bobby's eyes. "I don't know," he replied. "It depends on the size and duration of the fuss." "If you don't stay I'll have you subpoenaed. I may have to, anyhow. As for the size of the fuss, I can promise you a bully one if what you surmise is correct." His telephone bell rang and Bobby turned to it quickly.
Nobbles said it hurt him, so he left it in a tree, and he likes his red cap best! 'He looks very brave, said Lady Isobel. 'May I hold him in my hand? 'Just for one minute you may; but Nobbles doesn't like no one but me no one 'cept father. Nobbles reely loves him! It was the same with all Bobby's stories; they invariably turned upon his absent father.
Bobby's no' deid. Nae doot he's amang the stanes i' the kirkyaird. He's aye scramblin' aboot for vermin an' pussies, an' may hae hurt himsel', an' ye a' ken the bonny wee wadna cry oot i' the kirkyaird. Noo, get to wark, an' dinna stand there greetin' an' waggin' yer tongues.
Thayer's assent was rather curt in its brevity. Bobby's blunt, kindly questions hurt him; yet, after all, there was a sort of comfort in the hurt. After two years of silence, it was a relief to be able to speak of his trouble. It had grown no more, no less with the passing months; it was just what it had been, at the close of that warm May afternoon.
