"It's just what Robin is coming to," observed Bobus, as his namesake stretched his arms and delivered himself of a waking howl; then suddenly becoming conscious of Mr. Ogilvie, he remained petrified, with one arm fully outstretched, the other still lifted to his head. "Never mind, Brownlow maximus," said his master; "it was hardly fair to surprise you in private life, was it?"
She wanted to go to school with Armie, having always gone on with him. And the other two- what of them? Bobus is sure to work for the mere pleasure of it- but Jock?"
Bobus and Jock had set off to school, and poor little Armine, who firmly believed that his rejection was in consequence of his confusion between os, ossis, and os, oris, and was very sore about it, had gone with Allen and Barbara to see them on their way, and Mother Carey and Janet had agreed to get some real work done and were actually getting through business, when in rushed, rosy and eager, Allen, Armine, and Babie, with arms stretched and in breathless haste.
"We will get him away somehow, Infanta, never fear! And when you have left this place, you'll be all right. You'll have the Friar, and he is a host in himself." "Yes," said Babie, ruefully, "but he is not a brother after all. Oh, Jock! mother says it is very wrong in me, but I can't help it." "What is wrong, little one?" "To feel it so dreadful that you and Bobus are going!
She has a power over Bobus that no one else ever had, and she is very lovely in expression as well as features, but how will so ardent a Christian as she is receive one still so far off as my poor Robert, though indeed I think he has at least come so far as the cry, 'Help Thou mine unbelief. "So now they have let me come back to my Jock, and I see visibly his improvement.
Take that letter, and let the others know." John saw the truest kindness was implicit obedience; and Allen and Bobus instantly joined her, the latter asking what new tomfoolery Janet had brought home, Allen following with a cup of coffee. Caroline's lips felt too dry to speak, and she held out the certificate. It was received by Allen, with the exclamation "By Jove!"
"He never flogged you," said Johnny contemptuously. "He did!" cried Jock, triumphantly. "At least he flogged Bobus, when " "Shut up, you little ape," thundered Bobus, not choosing to be offered up to the manes of his father's discipline. "You think you must explain it to my uncle, mother," said Allen, rather ruefully. "Certainly. He ought to be told first, and Mr. Ogilvie next.
The person known among his particular friends by the name of "Bobus" was Robert Smith, who had held the office of Advocate-General in Bengal, and who is not to be confounded with his namesake, the brother of the Rev. Sydney Smith.
"Yes, but by life, not death! Armie could hardly believe it. You know he was with us at Christmas; and when he found that Bobus was to be led not by sorrow, but by this Primrose path, it was quite funny to see how surprised he was." "Yes," said Mrs. Evelyn, "he went about moralising on the various remedies that are applied to the needs of human nature."
Bobus did not know what his own claims might be, but at any rate his brother's would transcend them, and his temper was thoroughly upset. Poor Caroline! She did not wholly omit to pray "In all time of our tribulation, in all time of our wealth, deliver us!" but if she had known all that was in her children's hearts, her own would have trembled more.
