Dab and his friends saw that valley and village often enough afterwards; but never again did it wear to them precisely the same look it put on that morning, in the growing light of that noble September day. As for Joe and Fuz, it was all an old story to them; and, what was more, they had another first-rate joke on hand.
"Yes," replied Fuz; "I'd just as lief not see too much of him before that. He wont have any special claim on us if he doesn't go there from our house." Other talk they had together, and the tone of it promised very lively times at Grantley Academy for the stranger from India.
Augustus Bellerington, but it sometimes has to be done; that is, unless their good opinion is to be gained by some nice little stroke of sneaking cowardice. Joe and Fuz stood it out, indeed, mainly because they were in some way more afraid of Dab and Ford and Frank than they were of even Augustus.
"Dem's de cloves," shouted Dick, as he darted forward, and picked it up. The fingers of Fuz almost unconsciously imitated those of his elder brother, and with a like result. "Dat's de cinnamon. If de oder feller didn't git de tea an' de sal'ratus! Whar's de nutmegs?"
The "green" was large and well-kept, and looked like the best kind of a ball-ground; but there was nothing wonderful about the academy building, except that it evidently had in it room enough for a great many boys. "You'll see enough of it before you get through," said Fuz. "But there'll have to be lots of whittling done this fall." "Whittling? what for?" "Why, don't you see?
Kinzer was the "stewardess" of that expedition, and Joe and Fuz were compelled to wait her motions. By Susan Coolidge. Unable to climb, he resolved to get at them in another way. Night after night he stationed himself beneath the tree, and there played off all sorts of curious tricks.
As Ford told him afterwards: "Feel it? Not they. You might as well try to hurt a clam with a pin." "And I hurt your sister's feelings instead of theirs," said Dab. "Well, I'll never try any thing like it again. Anyhow, Joe and Fuz ain't comfortable they ate too many roasted clams and a good deal too much lobster." There was a certain degree of consolation to be had from such a fact as that.
When they were not doing that, it was mostly because Joe or Fuz was telling some yarn or other about Grantley and its academy. They agreed perfectly in their somewhat extravagant praise of Mrs. Myers and her daughter Almira. "She's such a good, kind-hearted, liberal, motherly woman," said Joe. "And Almira's a sweet young lady," added Fuz, "only she's a little timid about boys."
"Dab," said Ford Foster, "you've forgotten to unhitch the 'Jenny. Here she is, towing astern." "That's all right. We may need her. She's too heavy to take on board." A careful fellow was Mr. Hamilton Morris, and he knew very well the value of a row-boat to a picnic party. As for Joe and Fuz they were compelled to overcome a strong inclination to cast the boat loose.
At least, something to that effect was remarked by Joe Hart and Fuz, more than a dozen times apiece, while "The Swallow" was threading the crooked inlet, and making her way to the landing. "Ham," said Dab, "are you going right back again?" "Course I am, soon as I can get a load of eatables together, from the house and the village. You'll have to stay here." "Why can't I go with you?"
