I b'lieve he'd be a sight prouder of seeing one crunch a root than if he got the finest head in Maine. So here's your chance for a trophy, boys. I guess 'twill be your only one." "Hurrah! I'm in for this game!" cried Neal. "I too," said Cyrus. "I'm in for it with a vengeance!" whooped Dol. "Though I'm blessed if I've a notion what 'calling a moose' means."
I am afraid she spends a lot of time in Dol Vin's." "But how could she ever get two hundred dollars for brother Ted?" "I wonder, Dozia, could she be in partnership with Dol?" "She might, but wouldn't that mean an outlay?" "Of course. There'll be little profit there and two hundred!" The amount was appalling to Jane's practical mind. Voices broke in on the soliloquy.
The blue blades sprang from cut to parry like live things, and in the light I saw the same cruel smile, line for line, in both faces. The snow was falling in big wet flakes, and the fight went on, neither giving an inch, and then from behind came a thin voice "The McBrides are at it, hammer and tongs the Laird and the bastard, te-he," cried Dol Beag from the dark.
Their presence at Dol Vin's shop, the sobbing heard behind doors, and that wild run of the girl who tried to get away from the place by actually scaling a back fence, and who was recognized as the demure little Sarah, all this furnished plenty of material for a mystery story. But it was the innocent remark of the grateful messenger boy, that put the climax in at the very peak of interest.
They're powerful fond of moose-wood that's what you call mountain ash. I guess it tastes to them like pie does to us." "Well, Dol, I feel that you're twitching all over with some question," said Cyrus, detecting uneasy movements on the part of the younger boy who lay next to him. "What is it, Chick? Out with it!" "I want to hear about moose-calling," so spoke Dol in heart-eager tones.
"There is still time to draw back," I observed. "Oh, don't be silly. Here, this is my brother Tom's. 'Dear Dol, I thought Mickleham rather an ass when I met him, but I dare say you know best. What's his place like? Does he take a moor? I thought I read that he kept a yacht. Does he? Give him my love and a kiss. Good luck, old girl. Tom. P.S. I'm glad it's not me, you know."
But very beautiful work of other sorts may be seen at Dol. The smaller porch is a gem of early work, and the range of windows in the north aisle presents some of the most delicate triumphs of geometrical tracery, too delicate in truth to last, as all are more or less broken.
And Alftruda went with her, taking a goodly company of knights to be her escort, while Hereward remained at Bourne with few to guard it. And knowing this, to Bourne came Ascelin and Taillebois, Evermue, Raoul de Dol, and many another Norman, and burst in upon Hereward in some such fashion as he had done himself some ten years earlier. "Felons," he shouted, "your king has given me his truce!
I guess we may call dis meal breakfast jest as well as not, fer it's neah to dawn now." And the trio fell to voraciously, as he handed them each a steaming tin mug and an equally steaming plate. "You haven't been lonely, Dol, I hope, have you?" said Cyrus, as a whole flapjack, doubled over and drenched in sirup, disappeared down his capacious throat.
You see," went on Shirley, supporting herself by "linking" into the accommodating arms extended, "Dol Vin fetched her out here from the city so that she could practice her howling. She was cast for a part with a wild scream in it, and every time she attempted to practice someone interfered, the police usually." "No wonder," interrupted Jane. "Why couldn't she stick to the theater for rehearsing?"
