Ferd and his wife were the great people of their own little town, near Virginia City, and after a while Mary Lou had several pictures of their little boy to treasure, Robbie with stiff curls falling over a lace collar, and plaid kilts, in a swing, and Robbie in velvet knickerbockers, on a velocipede.
Of that I never had a misdoubt. The word is this, and I begin to think that old Fra Sebastian may be a real Christian, after all. He not only offers, but he says it must be this way: As soon as 'top-lofty' can be safely moved, he wants him to the sannytarium to his mission. Him and Ferd, the dwarf, likewise. He says them old Californys all belong to him, and he will look after them.
"I kind of pity Ferd," mumbled the constable, his faded eyes on the cracked door that the last woman had slammed behind her. "Hain't averaged to put up one man a week for five years, and I reckon he's had to sell rum or starve." Cap'n Sproul made no observation. He still maintained that air of not caring to discuss the affairs of the Smyrna tavern.
What's the idea, Billie?" "Well," replied Billie, biting off her thread calmly, "we have to eat while we're there, you know." "No!" cried Chet sarcastically. "You may, sweet sister, but not us. We are too ethereal." "Say, is he insulting us?" cried Ferd indignantly. "Say that again, I dare you " "Oh, for goodness' sake keep still!" cried Laura, clapping her hands to her ears.
It had hardly drawn up to the station with a screeching of brakes and come to a standstill before a cyclonic trio of boys leaped from one of the rear cars and came dashing toward the girls, waving hats and bags and various other personal articles high in the air as they came. "I say, but it was bully of you girls to come to meet us!" shouted Ferd Stowing, as they came within hailing distance.
"Why, Ferdinand Bernal!" she cried, giving him his full title, and thereby mystifying still further the wondering groom. "I do believe that's the very creature that's been scaring such a lot of people everywhere! How came you by it and what ails its eyes?" Ferd lifted a face that was grimy with dirt and streaked with tears.
"In here, fellows, here's the piano," Ferd directed, and, their hearts in their mouths, the girls watched them go into the dark room. "Ouch! hang that chair," they heard Ferd cry out. "Come on with those lights, girls. I'm ruining all the furniture." Nervously the girls followed them in, throwing the light of the candles on the old piano, but, as far as they could see, nothing had been disturbed.
"Right you are," said Ferd, taking off an imaginary cap to Billie. "I have to hand it to you, Billie you're right there." "You said it that time, old man," murmured Teddy very softly, but Billie heard him and looked up at him with laughing eyes. "Come help us open our trunk," she said, turning away suddenly. "Whose trunk is it?" "Where did you get it?" "Looks as if it had come out of Noah's ark."
In the letter of the Governor and Council of Virginia to the London Company, dated Jamestown, July 7, 1610, signed by Lord De La Ware, Thomas Gates, George Percy, Ferd.
"It takes me back to the first time Ferd called upon me, but I was younger than you are, of course, Sue. And Ferd !" she laughed proudly, "Do you think you could have sent Ferd away with an excuse? No, sir, he would have come in and waited until you got home, poor Ferd! Not but what I think Peter " He was already Peter! "did quite the correct thing!
