Sergius presently called Irina to sing Marie's song of the stirrup-cup from "The Boyar"; and fourteen hands applauded wildly as she smilingly climbed upon her chair, and, holding the replenished glass in her right hand, began one of the most successful solos in Ivan's opera. She sang unaccompanied; but accompaniment was not missed. Save for her voice, the room was absolutely still.
But when Louise came blithely leading the two saddle-ponies, Black Boyar and the big pinto Rally, Walter Stone shook an odd twenty years from his broad shoulders and swung into the saddle briskly. From the shade of the great sycamore warders of the wide gate, he waved a gauntleted salute to Aunt Eleanor, who stood on the porch, drawing a leaf of the graceful moon-vine through her slender fingers.
But, at the last moment, the leader, despite his memories of "The Boyar," repudiated his promise, deeming the honor too great for a Russian, and chose instead to present his other novelty, Gounod's "Roméo et Juliette."
Mounting, Collie spurred through the greasewood, trusting to the pony's natural activity and sure-footedness. Louise, sitting on the dream-rock in the old meadow, gazed out across the valley. Black Boyar stood near with trailing bridle-reins. Despite herself the girl kept recalling Collie's face as he had talked with her at the ranch.
An Austrian count, who had a loud and silly laugh, said: "Who has saddled you with that yarn? The lady is Lady Nitingsdale, and his name is Romanesco." "Romanesco?" "Yes, he is a rich Boyar from Moldavia, where he has extensive estates."
The lady is Lady Nitingsdale, and his name is Romanesco." "Romanesco?" "Yes, he is a rich Boyar from Moldavia, where he has extensive estates."
"We got paid." "But the bell and Moonstone Cañon?" questioned Louise, glancing back at Boyar grazing down the meadow. "Sure! Well, we flopped near here that night " "Flopped?" "Uhuh. Let's see, you ain't hep to that, are you? Why, we crawled to the hay, hit the feathers, pounded our ear er went to bed! That's what it used to be.
But there was that in his tone which brought Collie's head up. The lad pushed back his battered felt hat and ran his fingers through his wavy black hair, perplexedly. "What's the matter, Red? What's the matter?" "Nothin'. Jest thinkin'." Yet the tramp's eyes narrowed as he glanced furtively past the girl to where Boyar, the black pony, grazed in the meadow.
With a spring he was in the saddle and had slipped the quirt from the saddle-horn to his wrist. He would need that quirt, as he had no spurs. Round swung Tenlow, cursing. Black Boyar shot across the meadow, the quirt falling at each jump. The tramp glanced back. Tenlow's right hand went up and his gun roared once, twice....
'But surely you would not send a search-party of soldiers merely on this account? 'Oh, no! he answered; 'but even before the coachman arrived, I had this telegram from the Boyar whose guest you are, and he took from his pocket a telegram which he handed to me, and I read: Bistritz. Be careful of my guest his safety is most precious to me.
