Being a perfectly normal, well-balanced girl, black boys, brown boys, yellow boys, or all the hues and shades of boys to be met with in those odd corners of the earth where the white man is at a premium, did not interest Lou Grayling in the least.
Suddenly, however, she realized that L'Enfant Terrible was standing up in the driver's seat and beckoning to her. "Oh, Miss Grayling!" shrilled Cecile. "May I come up? I want to speak to you." "No," commanded Prue firmly, preparing to step out of the car. "I will speak to Miss Grayling myself." "I don't see why she can't come down," drawled Marian, the languid. "I have a message for her."
They had come down to the beach on this particular morning he felt sure to comment and not kindly upon Louise Grayling. He hoped that she was not included in the director's plans for the day, and he was glad to see that she had no make-up on, as had these other young women. So he strolled on grimly with Miss Louder, who would not be called for work for an hour.
In the stream were trout, grayling, roach, and dace, and the pond was full of fine carp, and tench, and perch, while occasionally the other fish from the stream condescended to swim into it. The fishing belonged to a gentleman in the neighbourhood, who took a great interest in the Doctor and his school, and always allowed a dozen boys at a time to fish there.
"If the overflowing emotion of a giant soul in torment makes you knock over a table or smash a chair," she said, "I shall send the bill for repairs to you. You had far better sit down and talk quietly. What is worrying you, Bailey?" "Is it nothing," demanded her brother, "that my sister should have spoken to a man as you spoke to Clarence Grayling?"
A little to the seaward side of the apex of the reef Betty, at a word from Lawford, cast loose the sheet and then dropped the anchor. "Mussel beds all about here," explained the young man to his guest. "That means good feeding for the blackfish. Can't catch them anywhere save on a rock bottom, or around old spiles or sunken wrecks. Better let me rig your line, Miss Grayling.
We met fishermen, an automobile, and a camp outfit. That was enough for me. Where an automobile can run, I do not belong. The fishing was poor. But the beautiful open valley, flowered in gold and purple, was recompense for a good deal of bad luck. A grayling, or what they called a grayling, was not as beautiful a fish as my fancy had pictured.
"Cecile!" admonished Prue. "That sounds worse than it is." Louise looked at her curiously, though she did not ask a question. "Well, they did have a shindy," repeated L'Enfant Terrible. "When daddy gets on his high horse " "Ford wished to see you before he went away, Miss Grayling," broke in Prue, with an admonitory glare at her young sister.
"And look look!" he said, as he stood with her, catching her by the wrist at the brink. "Down in this hole, right before us, there's more than a million grayling there's four hundred billion of them right down in there, and every one of them is eight feet long! Sim Gage was right I'll bet some of them do weigh three pounds. It must be right in the height of the summer run.
The walk had been delightful in the pleasant cool breeze which blew from the hills, and promised a ripple on the water of the open river he was bound to fish, and he had not been deceived. In fact the grayling had risen freely to the natural fly he had softly thrown, and his creel had grown heavier till well on in the afternoon, when he had started back with his load.
