"I don't know," said Jean, pondering on the subject of neighbours, "how you could manage to be friends with them. You see, they are busy people and it sounds very rude they haven't time to be bothered with you. Just smile tentatively when you see them and pass the time of day casual-like; you would soon get friendly.
I'm just going to bring her out here as soon as I can, never saying a word. I'll fetch her through the spruce lane, and when we come to the end of the path I'll step back casual-like, and let her go out from under the trees alone, never suspecting. It'll be worth ten times the trouble to see her big, brown eyes open wide and hear her say, 'Oh, daddy! Why, daddy!"
I've got the picture on my mantelshelf in my sitting-room rolled up as you told me to roll it up and tied with a piece of cotton. It was your own idea as the thing was to be left about casual-like as being less calculated to excite suspicion. And there it is at the present moment, and I'll take my oath to it." Henson fairly gasped.
So 'tes mine, after all, not yours...." A moment later and the triumphant voice went on again. "There's another letter," it said, "from your old Parson. I wrote to he after I'd met Nicky my son casual-like once in Canada. That's what he answered." Again Ishmael picked up the letter, almost mechanically, and read: "I have received your letter dated July, 1891.
"Rather!" said Mr. Jernshaw, with emphasis. "Louisa is something like what her mother was when you went away." Mr. Barrett shivered. "But you'll see for yourself," continued the other. "You'll have to go and see them. They'll wonder you haven't been before." "Let 'em wonder," said the embarrassed Mr. Barrett. "I shall go and see all my old friends in their turn; casual-like.
Then she'd give a big jump, casual-like, to one side of the path, and sit down again, with her ears twitching and turning as if she thought there was mischief in every flutter of a leaf or creak of a bough."
I'm as open as the day, and there's nothing about me that I'd mind anybody knowing. Wot a pity it is everybody can't say the same! "I didn't see 'im saying 'Good-bye' the next week or the week arter that either, but the third week, arter just calling in at the Bear's Head, I strolled on casual-like and got as far as the bottom of Tower Hill afore I remembered myself.
