Bertha Sampson and Pearl Clay of the White Sands Baptist choir had been asked to sing a duet; Milton Clark of Newbridge was to give a violin solo; Winnie Adella Blair of Carmody was to sing a Scotch ballad; and Laura Spencer of Spencervale and Anne Shirley of Avonlea were to recite.
"Well, we'll have to get some sort of a guide," answered Roger. "It would be utterly useless for us to start out alone in such a country as this." "We might ask Mr. Dillon to recommend somebody," said Dave. "He appeared to be a reliable man." The boys talked to Mrs. Carmody for a few minutes longer. They were on the point of leaving the house when there came a loud rap on the front door.
They all stiffened with horror and disgust. Mrs. King wept and Josita mumbled a frightened prayer, and Carter, red and vehement, went to him and tried to take the decanter away from him. Only Honor Carmody made no sign. I'm a son of a son of a son of a gun of a son of a Gambolier, sang Jimsy King. He looked at every one but Honor. Like every honest fellow, I love my lager beer
And I I was not big enough to see it. I sent him away with a sneer. Bill is no thief. For what he has been you are to blame you and the Carmody money. For the first time in his life he has a fair chance. He has left New York the man you made him. He will return the man he makes himself. Oh! If if I only " "There, there, Miss Ethel, your loyalty is admirable, if misplaced "
There was no denying the fact that Honor Carmody liked the boys. No one ever attempted to deny it, least of all Honor herself. When she finished grammar school her mother and her gay young stepfather told her they had decided to send her to Marlborough rather than to the Los Angeles High School. The child looked utterly aghast. "Oh," she said, "I wouldn't like that at all. I don't believe I could.
Carmody is a planter up in that part of the country, and the Deemings were his guests. Different bands of bandit raiders have visited the Carmody plantation from time to time within the last two years, stealing stock and supplies, and levying money blackmail, until Carmody found himself practically ruined, unless the present crops should turn out well.
He stood looking down at her, his face working. "Mother, I want Honor Carmody." "Carter!" "I want Honor Carmody." He rode over her murmured protests. "I know I'm only nineteen. I know I'm too young she's too young. I'd expect to wait, of course. But I want her."
The breakfast call sounded, and in twos and threes the officers of the "Long Island," passed into the ward-room. John Carmody was provided with a seat beside the chaplain. "Darrin, you lucky dog!" called Lieutenant-Commander Denton, as soon as the officers were seated. "Am I really fortunate?" Dave smiled back.
Firstly, there were no Mayflowers in Spencervale; secondly, Chris had to go to Carmody every other day to haul milk to the butter factory, and Mayflowers grew in Carmody, and, thirdly, the Stewarts always had a romantic streak in them. Was not that enough circumstantial evidence for anybody? As for Sylvia, she did not mind if Chris had a boyish admiration for her and expressed it thus delicately.
"Nobody there, Miss Diane," reported young Allan Carmody upon returning; "leastwise nobody that couldn't take care of himself. Only a chap buzzin' almighty swift over the trees. Swooped down like a hawk when he saw us an' waved his hand, laughin' fit to kill himself, an' dropped Johnny a fiver an' gee! Miss Diane, but he could drive some! Swift and cool-headed as a bird.
