Anderson, walking down to the cricket ground at Cunjee, between Jim and Cecil, inwardly wondered what had made her come out of her cool, shaded house to encounter so scorching a sun with nothing ahead but a bush cricket match. However, Cunjee was no more lively than other townships of its class, and even a match was something.
Bob turned a puzzled, half-distressed face to Mr. Linton. "I say, sir what is it?" "It's just that, my boy," said David Linton. "The district had a fancy to help you Cunjee thinks a heap of soldiers, you see. So a lot of the fellows got together and planned to put in a day on the creek, doing odd jobs."
"They're handy when preserved," Wally remarked. "But what did they do to you?" "I had a lot of hens sitting this year," said the owner of the yard "sitting on lovely eggs, too, Wally! Some I got from Cunjee, and some from Westwood, and two special sittings from Melbourne. I was going to be awfully rich! You couldn't imagine all I'd planned with the immense sums I was going to make."
"And I'll speak to Dad about your riding him, if you like another time." "Another time? Then what's the matter with my riding him now? I suppose," said Cecil with a sneer, "you want to show off in Cunjee." Norah stared at him blankly for a moment. Rudeness had been always so far from her that she did not for a moment comprehend that this boy was being deliberately rude.
"There's a man just kem out from Cunjee lookin' for ye, sir some one's tallyphoned in that there's a big grass fire comin' down on the Creek, an' 'twill be a miracle if it misses Billabong! I've told the men they're off to get the horses." Norah and Tommy had turned, with dismayed eyes. "Will it be at our place, Murty?" Tommy asked. "I dunno will it, Miss Tommy," the Irishman answered.
Bob can go over the land with us when we're coming back. But once you and Tommy get swallowed up in Cunjee, there's no knowing when we could get you out; and Tommy ought to inspect the house." "Oh, I'd love to," said Tommy enthusiastically. "No mere man can be trusted to buy a house." "Don't go to look at it with any large ideas of up-to-date improvements floating in your mind," Jim warned her.
"And the doctor's coming it's wonderful luck he came out from Cunjee with Wally." Jim put his hand on Norah's. "Were you all right, old kiddie?" "Quite right," said she. Then they waited silently until a rattle of wheels came as the express wagon clattered up. Murty went out to the track to bring the doctor in. Dr.
She paused by the door of a blacksmith's shop, for the smith and she were old friends, and Norah regarded Blake as quite the principal person of Cunjee. Generally there were horses to be looked at, but just now the shop was empty, and Blake came forward to talk to the girl.
"Well, then, it's bed," said Jim, yawning prodigiously. "Norah, the men are going to drive in, with our playing togs, to-morrow; would you rather go in the buggy?" "I'd rather drive, thanks, Jim." "Thought so. Then hurry off to bed, for we're going to make an early start." Jim paused, looking up at the star-filled sky. "And I give you all warning, it's going to be a caution for heat!" CUNJEE v.
"Stow them in my pocket and come along." Out in the street there were unusual signs of bustle. People were hurrying along the footpath. The blare of brass instruments came from the big circus tent, round which was lingering every small boy of Cunjee who could not gain admission. Horses were tied to adjoining fences, considerably disquieted by the brazen strains of the band.
