The latter himself was smiling a good deal as if he could not help it, but he did not know the exact reason why every one of those boys looked so cheerful just then. The thought in Ford's mind came within an inch of getting out over his tongue. "Dwarf? Why, he's more like a giant. How Joe and Fuz Hart did spin it!"
"What, me? me, steal?" almost gasped Fuz. "They wouldn't do such a thing as that," said Ford, not quite comprehending the situation. "That's it," said Dab: "let 'em empty their pockets" Joe was indignantly turning inside out the side pockets of his neat "cut-away," and a small, brown-paper-covered parcel dropped upon the ground.
The Kinzer family knew all about those cuffs and collars, and Ham Morris and the younger ladies were trying hard not to laugh. "Joe," said Fuz snappishly, "can't you take a joke? Annie's got the laugh on us this time." "I?" exclaimed Annie indignantly: "no, indeed! That's some of Ford's work, and Dabney's. Mr. Kinzer, I'm ashamed of you." Poor Dab!
Afterward he kissed her. And presently Adelais lifted her head, with a mocking little laugh. "Sorrow!" she echoed. "I think there is no sorrow in all the world. Mount, my lord, mount! See where brother Olivier waits for us yonder." "Fortune fuz par clercs jadis nominee, Qui toi, Francois, crie et nomme meurtriere."
This world is for them no home, but a dingy prison-house, of reckless unthrift, rebellion, rancour, indignation against themselves and against all men. Is it a green, flowery world, with azure everlasting sky stretched over it, the work and government of a God; or a murky, simmering Tophet, of copperas fumes, cotton fuz, gin riot, wrath and toil, created by a Demon, governed by a Demon?"
Jenkins protested, that "if she was to be burnt alive with fuz- faggits and brimstone, nothink but what she witnessed with her own eyes should pass her lips, whatsomever she might think, and although they were a-walkin' him with his arm round her waist she did NOT see him a- kissin' of her how could she when they were a hundred yards off?"
He said something about the village being so pretty; but Dick Lee had been staring eagerly in all directions, and replied with, "Jes' one little mite of a patch ob water! Is dar any fish to ketch?" "Fish? In that pond?" said Fuz. "Why, it's alive with 'em. The people of Grantley just live on fish."
Oh, but won't you fellows just love her and Almira!" It was all out, that deep secret about their change of boarding-house; and the Hart boys had something to enjoy this time, for Dab and his friends looked at each other for a moment in blank amazement. "All right, boys," shouted Ford, at the end of it: "here's for some breakfast. Good-morning, Joe. Day-day, Fuz. See you again by and by."
Nobody need have failed to see, at all events, after watching one or two of their glances at each other, that they were the very boys to play the meanest kind of practical jokes when they could do it safely. There is really no accounting for boys; and Joe and Fuz, therefore, might fairly be set down among the "unaccountables."
"No, I said I'd cut a notch on my slate first time she did, and it's all smooth yet." He held it up as he spoke; and Frank remarked, "Yes, smooth enough on that side; but you've nicked it all down on the other, end to end. What's that for?" "That? Oh! that's quite another thing. I'm keeping tally of Joe and Fuz. Every time one of 'em asks a question about our boarding-house, or Mrs.
