"It will not be very easy to reach the holme this afternoon," Yaspard remarked thoughtfully. "There's a heavy under-tow there." "But we can't go away and leave him, brodhor. Just look at him. Now he tries to raise himself. It is dreadful."
There was not much wind, but a long and gentle swell, and the little boat went dancing over the waves in a manner wholly delightful to the brother and sister. "This is delicious, brodhor," said Signy, "and we have had a splendid time; but it is nice to be going home. Now tell me about your quest."
They all laughed, all save Signy, who so thoroughly entered into her brother's feelings, and she said, "That does seem a pity, brodhor; just when you had got it all so splendidly arranged." "Perhaps," Fred remarked, "some other method may suggest itself. I don't see why you can't now that a treaty of alliance is made join forces and go on the war-path together."
After executing a few bars he said, "I am going across the voe, and you must not mind if I do not take you with me. I want to have a long talk with the Harrison boys. But if you come down to the noost when I return, I'll take you for a little sail." "I'll be there, brodhor," said Signy. She was always "there" when Yaspard required or requested.
If you had asked Fred Garson to safeguard the Viking, we would not have meddled with him." "And poor brodhor," Signy exclaimed, "would not have been enjoying himself at Collaster!" "I think," said Uncle Brüs suddenly, "that Yaspard has met Vikings as mad as himself. Now, Master Tom, can you tell how he is going to recover his liberty and his boat 'captured on the high seas, eh?"
Down Yaspard dropped on his knees by Signy, and when she opened her eyes they lighted first on her brother's face white as her own, but full of gladness and love. For a few moments she did not realise what had happened to her. "Brodhor! I had a strange dream," she murmured "a terrible dream. But where am I? Oh! I remember! Oh, Yaspard! you have found me! Oh, God heard all I said to Him!"
Garson?" he said, as he lifted his little sister from the saddle. "I've come to ransom you, brodhor," said she; and then she was given up to the ladies to be petted and welcomed with the greatest tenderness, while Fred explained; and the appearance of the boat sent Yaspard and the Mitchell boys racing off to the quay.
I'll just go and tell Uncle Brüs about it myself." "How brave you are, brodhor! How straight you go at things, to be sure!" "And how round the corner and round my neck you go with things, Mootie-ting!" laughed he; then more gravely asked, "Where is uncle, do you know?" "He is out, as usual, after specimens: he has been out a long time." "Oh, well, I'll tell him when he comes."
He must have been interfering with some of those young Mitchells. Of course Mr. Garson has nothing to do with his nonsense!" Mr. Adiesen had walked out of the room long before she stopped; and her bewilderment was much increased by Signy saying delightedly "Captured! and taken to Collaster! Oh, how pleased brodhor must be!"
Well! if Tom is to be visiting at Trullyabister, where even I have not more than a half-civil 'Good-day'-and-don't-stay-long sort of welcome, there will be hot times in Boden, and plenty of rows." "Oh, brodhor! don't set up a feud of your own, I beseech!" Signy cried, with a comical look of dismay on her face, and lifting both hands in appeal. Yaspard burst into laughter.
