Froggy was greatly astonished, and even startled. She was also anxious, and showed it. But Priscilla hastened to smooth this away. "Yes, I know it's sudden. But sometimes, you know, love is like that. Don't be anxious, Froggy. I am much more cautious but what a ridiculous word! than you think. He doesn't know who I am yet. I pretended to him that I was a relation of yours.
Froggy Barton occupied that seat to- night. Kavanagh took a squeeze at his orange, and thought he could hit Froggy with the skin. But of course he refrained from trying. Only he did look so sleek! "What much wiser people we are than the swells!" Kavanagh thought. "We enjoy ourselves without being ashamed of it, and we endure crowding and semi-suffocation without getting ill-tempered!"
We are ready to wager that in all the swamps in the dominion of our father it would be hard to find another one like her." And they laughed and laughed. Lo! what a noise! The palace trembled, the guests were all frightened. Tsarevitch Ivan alone remained quiet and said: "No danger; it is my froggy coming in her box."
At last, after a long struggle, he gave it up and called loudly: "Help-me-out! Help-me-out! Help-me-out!" The other frogs heard and came swimming all about, little and big, young and old; but when they saw poor Froggy caught fast, instead of trying to free him, they began peeping and croaking and "kerchugging," until such a noise went up from the pond as was never heard before.
It had reached her too late. The appointment had been for the day before. She turned to the envelope, and saw that it must have been lying among her stepmother's correspondence for two days. Doubtless he had waited for her at the trysting-place, and waited in vain. Only one thing remained to be done, and that was to telegraph to Froggy for Carfax's address.
I can talk like a French froggy now." "Then of course, you saw Lorraine?" "Yes." "I wanted to see you about Lorry," with direct, straight gaze. He steadied his features with an effort. "I guessed so." "Well, what is the matter with her?" "Nothing very much. She got thoroughly low I think, and is not pulling up very quickly." "I don't understand it," with puzzled, doubtful eyes.
Oh, Froggy, isn't it wonderful to think of that he should have come at last like this? It is almost as if as if my love had drawn him." Priscilla's reply to her stepmother's summons, written several days later, was a highly unsatisfactory epistle indeed, in the opinion of its recipient. She found it quite impossible to tear herself away from the country while the fine weather lasted, she wrote.
These good things, when spread out on the table that evening, made quite an imposing array, and decidedly warmed the cockles of the hearts of their joint owners, and suggested to them naturally thoughts of hospitality and revelry. "Let's have a blow-out in the dormitory," proposed Arthur. "Froggy will let us alone, and we can square Felgate with a hunk of this toffee if he interferes."
There's not a d d froggy left to go to heaven; or if there be so he's a' battened down below," old Mike shouted, flourishing his spy-glass, which rattled in its joints as much as he did; "down comes the blood, froth, and blue blazes, as they call the Republican emrods, and up goes the Union-jack, my hearties. Three cheers! three cheers! Again! again! again!"
I feel to want to roar at old Froggy, like this fellow at the Trojans. 'Perhaps some day you will save him. 'Yes; but then he will have done it. Just fancy, Gerald, if that picture was as it ought to be as you and I see it! 'It would be as grand as the world ever saw, said the little girl, gazing through her eye-lashes at the dim strokes in the twilight.
