The Red Cross girl appeared from around a turn in the avenue, and the instant she spied her new friends she waved her gloved hand. "Is that the girl who gave first-aid to the man on Market Street Saturday night?" asked Chet. "Some little queen, isn't she?" rejoined Lance, with twinkling eyes. "Oh," said Laura placidly, "you needn't think that you can get us girls jealous about Janet Steele.
But the eyes of that world saw a figure whose blond head was suddenly lowered as if to hide a betrayal of what was in his heart; they saw him raise his bowed head to stare mutely toward a girl whose eyes of blue were swimming with happy tears as she gave him a trembling smile and only then did they see Chet Bullard draw himself erect, while his voice went out with the speed of light to a waiting world.
No, you had much better stay here in the circus, Nero. Here you are in a cage, it is true, but you are warm, you have a good place to sleep, you have plenty to eat and drink, and boys can not throw stones at you." But Nero only switched his tail to and fro, thought of the jungle where he had played with Boo and Chet, and said to himself: "That's all right.
What's the idea, Billie?" "Well," replied Billie, biting off her thread calmly, "we have to eat while we're there, you know." "No!" cried Chet sarcastically. "You may, sweet sister, but not us. We are too ethereal." "Say, is he insulting us?" cried Ferd indignantly. "Say that again, I dare you " "Oh, for goodness' sake keep still!" cried Laura, clapping her hands to her ears.
Are there any houses near it, Mother?" "Not one for more than a mile," said Mrs. Bradley. "They are almost as isolated now as they used to be in the old Indian days." "Indians!" cried Chet, pricking up his ears again. "Did you say something about Indians, Mother?" "Why, I've heard Aunt Beatrice say," answered Mrs.
"Well, you know I didn't promise any ghosts," said Billie, looking up from a piece of fancy work she was embroidering. "If you are disappointed, you needn't blame it on me, Laura, or you either, Chet." "Well, I don't see why we shouldn't have a good time without ghosts," put in Violet. "In fact, I don't think I'd particularly enjoy meeting somebody's great-great-ancestor in the dark."
I allowed I'd ruther have somebody that didn't know nobody, than such a clackin' ole he-hen as Chet." "I should have said that it was rather a hazardous thing to do," said John, "to put a total stranger like me into what is rather a confidential position, as well as a responsible one."
She would groan and squeal, Chet knew, when the fans lifted her from the hold-down clutch; and she couldn't fly at over twenty thousand without leaking her internal pressure through a thousand cracks that made her porous as an old balloon but to Chet's eyes the old relic of the years was a thing of sheer beauty and grace.
"Oh, well, here's hoping," said Frank. "We all have our troubles." "But those fellows won't trouble us again to-night," declared Chet, laughing. "They'll be glad to go home and get in bed." "Did you know any of 'em, Andy, except Gaffington?" asked Tom. "No, the others were strangers to me." "How do you reckon they got here, all the way from New Haven?"
Chet Frazier, pale but determined, is towing Chet out of his store. Mrs. Wimble Horn is hurrying down the street with an umbrella in one hand and Wimble in the other. From the post-office comes Postmaster Flint emitting loud wails. It is against the law to leave the post-office unoccupied, but he can thresh that out with his wife at home after he has voted.
