"Cally's not the girl to get black rings under her eyes for things like that." She added presently: "It's a pure love-match, which is naturally a gratification to me, who brought the whole thing about. 'Thank God, Cally, you've got a mother, I said to her only the other day. But I do say there's such a thing as carrying love just a little too far."
Cally had been observing Hugo, who looked so resplendent against this workaday background, and felt herself at a disadvantage with him. He had not wanted to come at all, but now that they were here, he exhibited a far more intelligent interest in what he saw than she did or could.
"Look here," said Cally, with a kind of tremulous eagerness, "I want to tell you something...." Yes, surely it was all a matter between herself and him: she could meet his eyes now with no sense that did not add to her curious inner exaltation. Had not these eyes said to her from the beginning that they would give her no peace till she came to this?...
But the only human being near at hand was Whistling Jim, and him I seized by the collar. "You scoundrel!" I exclaimed, shaking him vigorously; "what do you mean by going off and leaving the stable-door unlocked?" "Mar Marse Cal Cally lem lemme tell you 'bout it!" he cried, affrighted; and then, ashamed of my silly display of temper, I turned him loose.
In the interview the other night, mamma had formally washed her hands of Cally and all her flare-ups, more than intimating that henceforward they would live as comparative strangers. Since then there had come nothing from the staunch little general, who also had remained in her tent, not ill, but permanently aloof and unreconciled.
'Not any, thank you, isn't the right reply to 'Please give me the salt." "She's in love," said the Major, a gallant in his day. Cally, handing the salt to Hen, said: "I am, indeed, with Looloo. Don't you notice that she's getting prettier every day?"
I must take my rifle, but how am I to keep it dry? there's not time to make a raft." "No raff need, cappen; givee me you gun Saloo swim single-hand well as two; he cally the gun." Captain Redwood knew it to be true that Saloo, as he said, could swim with one hand as well as he himself with both. He was a Malay, to whom swimming in the water is almost as natural as walking upon the land.
Cally confessed to a certain want of enthusiasm; asked her friend if she, too, didn't weary of their little merry-go-round at times. Nothing of the sort, however, would be admitted by Mats, who was now known to be having a really serious try for J. Forsythe Avery. "Dear," she went on before long, "do you know you seem to be changing entirely lately?
Having all but abandoned hope, she was swept off her feet by the overwhelming revulsion of feeling, and her attitude for of course mamma always produced an attitude about everything upon the spot was not merely ecstatic, but tender and magnanimously humble. For it was clear now that the daughter had outpointed the mother at the Great Game; Cally had justified her flare-up; and Mrs.
Mattie came in before eleven o'clock on the first morning, chirping affectionate greetings; but neither then nor later did she manage to convey any real sense of sympathy with Cally, or of understanding what she had been through, or even of wanting to understand.
