It took a long time before it came to the surface, and a great amount of determination before Harry could speak out respecting the morning's mishap; for he, though the younger, was always the chief speaker; but at last out it came with a rush, while Papa was helping the pudding, making him give such a start that he put the wedge-shaped piece of rhubarb pudding right upon the snowy white tablecloth instead of Fred's plate.
Both of Fred's friends had been prepared some time before for this proposal, and both of them at once agreed to assist him in "chasing the sun!"
To Fred's great satisfaction, the sturdy, serious-looking followers of General Hedley treated the Hall and its surroundings with a fair amount of respect. They did not scruple to make bountiful use of the contents of the garden; and, as far as they went, revelled on the productions of the dairy, while they one and all declared the cider to be excellent.
Fred's calling her affected was enough to make her consent, and bring her mamma to consent to anything; for so little is it really the nature of woman to exercise power, that if she domineers, it is sure to be compensated by some subjection in some other manner: and if Henrietta ruled her mother, she was completely under the dominion of Fred and Beatrice.
"Because my job," retorted Reade, "is keeping my eyes on my chum, ready to help if anything comes up that I can do." Four or five hurried to Fred's aid. He had been walking on his skates, which, at best, is an awkward style of locomotion. Two men held him up, while two of the H.S. boys quickly took off his skates.
All this time Mr Inglis was quietly landing a good many fish, most of which were very fair-sized roach, with an occasional perch; but, soon after Fred's exploit with the eel, he called gently to Harry for the landing-net, and this summons caused the other members of the party to come up as well, when they saw that Mr Inglis had evidently hooked a large fish, and was playing him many yards of his running line being taken out.
Again Fred's honest kindly face had the same effect upon Sam that it had at the commencement of their street fight; he respected and trusted it unconsciously. "Here!" said he, crawling along on the beam and handing back the package of knives, the last theft of which his father had complained.
Aunt Clarissa sent the maid away, saying that she would speak to the hotel servant herself. She was afraid that Lina would let out the secret of Fred's untidy room if she were allowed to go on. Mrs. Stanhope looked very serious. "I don't understand all this," she said, turning to Clarissa; "but if the young stranger has anything to do with Oscar, I will be responsible for his bill at the hotel."
Ribbs?" said the Attorney. "I didn't make the late squire's will; and if I did you don't suppose I should tell you." "I'm told that the next is Peter Morton," said Fred Botsey. "He's something in a public office up in London." "It won't go to him," said Fred's brother. "That old lady has relations of her own who have had their mouths open for the last forty years"
"It won't do," said he, "the sun is too bright." His friends on shore looked grave and disappointed. "I sees a cloud a-comin'," said Bob Bowie glancing upwards. "Hallo! hey!" shouted Grant, who observed that at that moment Fred's legs had been swept from under him, and he was gone!
