It was necessary to have recourse to the principal cashier, who assured him that if France needed money she would call upon him first. Then and then only would he consent to accept.
"You've said yourself, Daddy that it would hardly be possible to THROW him down! But then, Bobs is Bobs, and he's seven years old, and ever so sensible not like that big four-year-old baby. So promise me you'll be careful, Daddy." "I will, little daughter." They were at the boundary fence now, and it was time for Norah to turn back.
They only clubbed their pocket money to clothe and pay the schooling of one little orphan, who acknowledged them by a succession of the lowest bobs as she trotted past, proud as Margery Twoshoes herself of the distinction of being substantially shod. The church was small, and with few pretensions to architecture at the best.
It and the fields were happy in the animating harvest toil. Men with harvesters' hats, women with sunbonnets, cracked their rustic jokes, laughed, and sang at their labor; Mavis cooked food, filled the big white bobs with beer, sent out bannocks and tin bottles of tea; Dale's children had rakes and played at hay-making. Only the master, the husband, the father, was unhappy.

An answer came sooner than she had expected, and the three boys, somewhat hastily arrayed, came running through the trees. "Jimmy, have you seen the weather?" asked his sister, indicating the blackened sky.
