GATTY'S back was hardly turned when a visitor arrived, and inquired, "Is Mr. Gatty at home?" "What's your will wi' him?" was the Scottish reply. "Will you give him this?" "What est?" "Are you fond of asking questions?" inquired the man. "Ay! and fules canna answer them," retorted Christie.
The day waxed darker instead of lighter; Mr. Gatty's reflections took also a still more somber hue. "Even Nature spites us," thought he, "because we love her."
She was made clerk of the works on the spot. Gatty's plan had consisted of merely one square. "On one side we can sleep," she said, "and on the other sit and do all we have to do." "But where are we to eat?" said Sybil. "Oh, I think nothing so stupid as having regular meals," said Gatty.
"But, can you," said Gatty's Father, "form any conjecture as to what would be their fate, say they were in the hands of the pirates?" "I took good care, Sir, before I left Rio, to offer very tempting ransoms, and to publish them in all quarters, and it is well known they are a very needy set, and that so much money will be too difficult for them to refuse.
Gatty's tale of The Tiger in the Coal-box is a transcript of his feelings, except that no one took the trouble to reassure him; something undefined and horrible was thought to wag in the case of the eight-day clock; and he could not bear to open the play cupboard lest 'something' should jump out on him.
Pray give my love to grandmamma and my aunts. I am tired of this long letter, and I think you will be also. I remain, your dutiful and affectionate grandson, Gatty's letter was to her sister: "This is such glorious fun; but I am so hot. I declare if I stay here much longer I shall flow away, and nothing be left of me but a rivulet. I eat oranges all day long.
Such speeches were too much for Schillie's fortitude, and Gatty's sparkling eyes showed how successful her manœuvres were in being dismissed at once, "as too stupid to be borne with." Sometimes I handed over the little girls to her to say their lessons, and they were invariably dismissed before they could have said half of them.
He quartered with the family, if Hulls, Archie, and Maizie would be called a family, instead of living at the bunkhouse. Old Jeff referred to him as a dude, but the comment applied to mannerisms rather than clothes. He dressed as a townsman; he frequented the poolroom and Gatty's doggery. He announced his name as Steve Adams, said that he was Maizie's nephew.
They explained nothing. The Bar-O, with its mixed up domestic complications, was still an isolated enigma. "That fall was the time of the great train robbery. The event occurred at the same time as the local raid on Gatty's Quart Shop. The world news was minimized by the local affair. We gave it little thought. In the week following, several cattle men headquartered here and at Grandaddy's.
They had all seen the report of the Esperanza, and all had flocked to B , as head quarters, to learn what had brought her home so much sooner than was expected. However, they were invited to remain the week out at that ever open most hospitable mansion. In the middle of the week came Gatty's beloved parents.
