He would try it. For a few minutes he listened to the noise of his relatives growing fainter and fainter, as Hooty led them farther and farther into the Green Forest. Then he opened his mouth. "Caw, caw, caw, caw!" he screamed. "Caw, caw, caw, caw! Come back, everybody! Here is Mrs. Hooty on her nest! Caw, caw, caw, caw!"
But when he's through work and tells us stories or makes us things, why then he is the Toyman." "Yes," his brother agreed. "He looks as if some fairy godmother changed him nights and Sundays." But they were rudely interrupted. "Caw, caw!" said a voice. It was a rascal's voice. "Caw, caw!" said another. The Toyman jumped. He shook his fist. "You old thief!" he called.
Alan gave the embarrassed nod of the average Briton listening to an ordinary observation elegantly expressed. "Very good of you, I'm sure. Well, I suppose Caw has told you why we have troubled you simply to have your opinion as to stopping the clock now, instead of allowing it to go on for nearly a year."
Therefore the stunted old oak on the verge the moss-grown merestone by the pond marked the limit was so favourite a perching-place. That beautiful afternoon I leaned both arms idly on the great bough that crossed in front of the seat and listened to the 'Caw caw! of the rooks as they looked to see if the acorns were yet ripening.
"Then my uncle " began Alan, evidently a little puzzled. "Your pardon, Mr. Alan," said Caw, coming forward, "but it is necessary to ask you one question. How did you get into the house?" The young man laughed. "I suppose you don't think it worth while locking doors in these unsophisticated parts.
I've thought and thought, until my brain just goes round and round and makes me dizzy, and my thoughts turn somersaults over each other. I must get help somewhere. Now, who can I go to, so few will have anything to do with me?" "Caw, caw, caw!" Sammy Jay pricked up his ears and spread his wings. "My cousin, Blacky the Crow!" he cried. "Why didn't I think of him before?
The servant Caw must have kept back things. Doris tells me he wants the three of us to go to Grey House " "What? To Grey House?" "Of course, I should never dream " "Great Heavens, how extremely fortunate for you! My dear Mrs. Lancaster, you must accept the invitation at once. Don't let it slip. Have your husband well enough to start in the beginning of the week." "Are you crazy?
How, being despoiled by plunder, fire and earthquake, has it risen from its ruins, and been again made what we now see it, with its church so sumptuous and magnificent? 'Caw! says the raven, welcoming the peasants. 'Caw! says the raven, 'Cuckoo! So we leave him, chuckling and rolling his eye at the convent gate, and wind slowly down again through the cloud.
Well, he sold himself and certain papers to me. They proved that Bullard deliberately ruined my brother for his own profit, and Lancaster assisted, probably in ignorance." "And those two don't know that you know!" cried Caw. "Your pardon, sir, but it's a bit exciting." "They do not know. They do not suspect. While they were here to-day they could think of nothing but those diamonds.
There he stood on the ridge-pole, the little tike, and yelled, "Caw," in almost a grown-up way, as if he felt proud and happy. Perhaps he did for a while.
