He came back to camp, got your fly book, cut him a willow pole, and started off down stream to beat you fishing. He's been gone most an hour and a half now." "Well, he won't have to fish much to beat me, that's sure; but he ought to be getting back soon, so we can get started." "Fishie, fishie, in the brook, Hammie caught him with a hook," came drifting into camp from somewhere on the trail.
Ay, the fat woman of Brentford had just come to Goodman Gosling's house "Come back an' shut the door behind you, Hammie; there's more than a nip to these December gales. I' faith, how the lad drumbles, a clumsy lob
Blue Bonnet looked as if she didn't quite understand. "But Sue, can we go? Will Miss North let us?" "Oh, yes with Mrs. White. Why not? You're not doing penance for anything are you?" "No, certainly not! But it seems quite unusual; going off with a lot of boys like that." "A lot of boys! There's only Billy, and Hammie McVickar, and an escort for me Billy doesn't say what his name is.
"Don't be silly, there's an old dear. I was only teasing you know that. You're not going for an hour yet. Come to think of it, you'll not go at all; you'll sleep in Ruth's bed. We've loads to discuss, loads! We haven't mentioned Hammie McVickar or that Mr. what's his name Stuart, wasn't it? or the refreshments. Come to think of it, Blue Bonnet's going to stay, too.
They made themselves generally agreeable, assisting in the entertaining; passing tea and sandwiches with ease and aplomb. Mr. Williams kept the seat next to Blue Bonnet and Hammie McVickar dropped down on the other side of her. "First visit here?" Mr. Williams asked, trying to successfully balance his ice-cream and cake on one knee.
Sue and Annabel kept up a chatter, and Billy and Hammie were entertaining in the extreme. "Isn't Billy a dear?" Sue said, running into Blue Bonnet's room to say good night. "And isn't Hammie McVickar splendid? I think he's the best-looking man I know. Billy says he's a prince the fellows at college all swear by him. So glad you could meet them. Good night. Sleep well."
"I'll tell the girls you've about made up your mind and Blue Bonnet, come here, listen! Put on that white dress to-night; the one with the pink under it, will you? I want you to meet Billy and Hammie, if I can arrange it. Don't forget!" The day wore on wearily. Blue Bonnet had seen nothing of Miss North; no word came from the office. At five o'clock she started to dress for dinner.
Blue Bonnet learned before dinner was over that Billy was the illustrious half-back on the Harvard team; had contributed much to the game she had seen in the autumn; that Hammie McVickar also shared honors. The meal passed all too quickly, and Annabel and Blue Bonnet left the dining-room reluctantly.
