Randolph sends after him every day and has his man take him home again isn't that nice?" "M hm," nodded David. "Doodles was here this noon," Polly went on. "Something was the matter with the car, and so he ran over while Murray was fixing it. The Doctor says Mr. Randolph may go to ride to-morrow if it is pleasant." "When shall you see him?" asked David.
It must be remembered that Sophie knew nothing of her present visitor, and was altogether unaware that he was in any way connected with Captain Clavering. "You are Captain Boddle," she said, looking hard at Doodles as he bowed to her on entering the room. "Captain Boodle, ma'am; at your service." "Oh, Captain Bood-dle; it is English name, I suppose?" "Certainly, ma'am, certainly.
Alfaretta still held the soft cover, which had slipped off when Leslie cut the rushes binding it on, turning it idly in her hands. Suddenly she stopped and stared at its inner side, then excitedly stooped where Dorothy was feeding the lamb and pointed, exclaiming: "For the land sakes, Dolly Doodles, look at that!" "Take care, Alfy! You're scaring this timid little thing so it won't drink.
"Somehow I can't feel as bad to go home with you as I know I ought to," she said, "only I hate to have you and your folks do so much for me and I such a stranger, too!" "No, you're a friend," Doodles corrected. "Yes, I am forever and ever!" She laughed tremulously. "I don't see why you're so good to me." "You'll like my mother!" Doodles responded with some irrelevance.
"He can whistle 'Auld Lang Syne, too, I think he does it quite as well as 'Annie Laurie." The applause had started again, and the lights, which had been turned on, went out. The audience quieted at once. Soft and sweet came the tones of a violin. "Doodles," breathed Miss Sterling. Nelson Randolph bent his head to hear, and nodded in answer.
"The very dandiest place!" cried the dancers as they stopped for breath. Miss Major, Miss Mullaly, and others came laughing into the open. Doodles played with zest, everybody was in merry mood, and the dance went gayly on. Polly suddenly ran into the grove for her beloved Miss Nita. "You must! You must!" she declared, as Miss Sterling doubtfully shook her head.
"And you have taken all this trouble for me?" Miss Lily's hands went up to her face. The tears trickled down and fell on her dress. "It wasn't any trouble," asserted Doodles. "I thought maybe there was no chance, and so I wouldn't tell you till I found out." The lad took the paper from his pocket. Miss Lily wiped her eyes.
The room was full of men, and the whole thing was done so publicly that Captain Clavering was almost offended. "Come, Doodles, you go on with your game," said he; "it's you to play."
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;...and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,...neither shall there be any more pain:...for the former things are passed away." With silence the listener suddenly dropped her face in her hands and began to sob. In a moment Doodles was singing again, and soon she grew calmer. When he stopped she was ready to talk.
Randolph eyed him questioningly. "The young man thought I'd waited long enough," was the gentle explanation. "So he told you to go!" "I guess he got tired of seeing me there," smiled Doodles. "Did you wait long?" "'Most two hours." "Tall, light-haired fellow, was it?" The boy assented. The president mused a moment and then resumed: "In any case your friend will have to make an application.
