And yet Young Denny's head came swiftly forward at the words; his eyes narrowed and he frowned as though he were trying to believe he had heard correctly. Then he laughed laughed softly and Old Jerry knew what that laugh meant. The boy didn't believe even when he had heard; and his slow-drawled, half-satirical question more than confirmed that suspicion.
The first was our Indian uncle coming down to the country to see us. The second was Denny's tooth. The third was only our wanting to go hunting; but if you count it in it makes the thing about the trefoil come right. And all these causes were harmless. It is a flattering thing to say, and it was not Oswald who said it, but Dora.
Miss Farwell went to Denny's side and together they managed, after a little, to calm the good woman. "It's a shame it is for me to be a-goin' on so, Miss Hope, but I but I " She nearly broke down again. "Won't you tell me the trouble, Mrs. Mulhall?" urged the nurse. "Perhaps I can help you."
"It isn't any such great, or late, hour of night," replied Cora, calmly, "and the woods are not dark. There's a lovely moon. But I don't propose to go through the woods. What is the Chelton for if we can't use her?" "Cora Kimball, do you mean to say that you'd go out on the bay, and over to Denny's cabin, after dark, with the prospect that some desperate men are going to attack him?" asked Bess.
"As if I wasn't trying to do all I could to reduce." "Oh, well, I was thinking of your nerves," observed Lottie. "But what is it you want to do, Cora, dear?" asked Marita. "I want to go to Denny's cabin, and see what has happened," was the answer. "What!" cried Belle, with an exclamation of surprise and alarm. "Tramp through the woods at this hour of night?"
I was forced to confess that this seemed reasonable. Now, about the book ordered from Denny's. Did Higgins remember anything regarding it? It came four years ago. Ah, yes, Higgins did; he remembered it very well indeed.
"This won't do," said I. "They're after the cows." And I took the rifle from Denny's hand, cautioning him not to show his face at the window. Then I stood in the shelter of the wall, so that I could not be hit by the three, and levelled the rifle, not at any human enemies, but at the unoffending cows. "A dead cow," I remarked, "is a great deal harder to move than a live one."
Fenn won it; Peel was second; and a dark horse from Denny's got in third. With the greater part of the sports over, and a lead of five points to their name, Dencroft's could feel more comfortable. The hurdle-race was productive of some discomfort. Fenn should have won it, as being blessed with twice the pace of any of his opponents.
Denny's garden may get along without me, and you may not need what you call 'our little friendship' but I need Denny's garden, and I need you." Her face shone with gladness. "Forgive me," she said. "I only wished to be sure that you understood some things clearly." At her rather vague words, he said, "I am beginning to understand a good many things."
In answer to some voiceless command, one of the termites with the conical heads had approached behind them and wound a leg around each. Sweat stood out on Denny's forehead at the repellent touch of that living bond. He turned and twisted wildly. Jim was struggling madly in the grip of the other foreleg.
