Rebby was walking slowly along a short distance in front of the little party, and Anna soon overtook her. "Oh, Rebby! Was it not a splendid sight to see the liberty tree set up?" Anna exclaimed eagerly, "and all the men taking off their hats and cheering?" "Yes," responded Rebby briefly; and then looking at Anna she said: "Oh, Danna!
Anna called out as they passed a big pile of pine logs and came to where stacks of smooth boards just from the sawmill shut the river from sight. "Well, Danna, do you and Rebby want your basket filled with golden oranges from sunny Italy and dates from Egypt? Or shall it be with Brazilian nuts and ripe pineapples from South America?" "Oh, Father!
Lyon says there are no such pine forests in all the colonies as stretch along behind this settlement. But, Rebby, you are not listening!" and Anna looked reproachfully at her sister. "Oh, yes, indeed, Danna, I heard every word. And I heard Father say that very soon there would be a regular school here, with a master, as soon as America conquers her enemies.
She realized at once that the conflict had begun. In an instant she was out of bed, slipped quickly into her clothing, and leaving Danna sound asleep, she sped down the path and along the trail to the high bluff that commanded a view of the harbor. There was a favoring wind and the Unity, with her crew of untrained men, was now in full chase of a vessel well-armed and equipped.
Before noonday Rebby declared that she could not go another step, and sat down at the foot of a high mass of rocks over which they must climb. "You will have to go on and leave me, Danna," she said. "My feet won't go, they are so tired: and my shoulders ache." The day had grown very warm; there was not a breath of air, and Anna owned that she had never seen so difficult a trail. Mrs.
"Father would come and get it, and it's so heavy." But Rebby shook her head. "It would not be safe. We must carry it straight home," she said; so, with a sigh of endurance, Danna started on. They were now in the broad trail that led straight to the little settlement, and before they reached the first house they saw a tall figure striding toward them. It was Mr.
The same artist executed a picture of "Our Lady," with other figures the size of life, men and children being all taken from nature, and portraits of persons belonging to the Danna family. In the year 1507, when the Emperor Maximilian was making war on the Venetians, Titian, as he relates himself, painted the "Angel Raphael, with Tobit and a Dog," in the Church of San Marziliano.
In woodland lore she realized that Danna was much wiser than herself, and she was quite ready to be guided by her. When Mrs. Weston called the girls the next morning and received no response she was not greatly surprised, as they often slept a little later than their parents. "The extra sleep will do them no harm," she said smilingly, as she and Mr.
She told them to follow the river down, as that trail was more traveled and over smoother ground, although farther to travel than the forest trail; and kissing the girls good-bye, after they had promised to visit her "as soon as the English had been sent home," she turned back toward the settlement. Rebby and Danna watched Mrs.
But she did not ask Anna to sit down, or to remove her sunbonnet. Melvina looked from Anna to her mother, not knowing what to say. "I think I must go now," said Anna, almost ready to cry. "Good-bye, Melvina; good-afternoon, Mrs. Lyon," and making another awkward curtsy Anna turned toward the door. "Oh, Danna! Don't go," called Melvina, running toward her; but Mrs. Lyon's firm hand held her back.
