They were much impressed when they heard we came from England; and the little girl proffered the information that England was an island 'and a far way from here bien loin d'ici. 'Ay, you may say that, a far way from here, said the lad with one arm. I was as nearly home-sick as ever I was in my life; they seemed to make it such an incalculable distance to the place where I first saw the day.
Margery shall go with you; I wish I could turn ye both into flowers and plant ye out in a field for three months! but you are not to give me any trouble by turning home-sick, do you hear? Now, if I save the Sunflowers, will you promise me not to cry to come home again till I send for you?" "Shall you be able to change her mind, to let us have Sunflowers sown for next year, too?" "Yes!"
These races, Kruboys, Grebos, and their cognates, have not improved during the last score of years. Their headmen were old hands approaching the fifties: now they are youths of twenty-five. The younger sort willingly engaged for three years; now they begin to notch their tallies for every new moon, and they wax home-sick after the tenth month.
Partly she viewed him as a rival in the affections of the patient who, poor little fellow, would in his companion's absence be the child he was, and let her treat him like his mother, or old nurse, chattering to her freely about home, and his home-sick longings; whereas the instant any male companion appeared, he made it a point of honour to be the manly warrior and crusader, just succeeding so far as to be sullen instead of plaintive; though when left to Richard, he could again relax his dignity, and become natural and affectionate.
She remembered how stubborn her father had been when she first suggested the idea to him. But after he had considered it most carefully he realised what a good business proposition it would be. "I believe Margaret is getting home-sick," Dick remarked. "Why, what makes you think that?" she asked, somewhat startled by the question. "Because you are so quiet.
The prettiness, the pertness, and the naïve contentedness of the child thus realizing an ambition touched her deeply. "It does seem a shame, doesn't it?" she said. "What?" "Bringing her all the way up here, like this! She doesn't know a soul in Brighton. She's bound to be frightfully home-sick " "What about you?" George Cannon interrupted politely. "Doesn't she know you?"
And Roy talked of Bramleigh Beeches in April, till he felt home-sick for primroses and the cuckoo and the smell of mown grass; while, before his actual eyes, the terrible sun of India hung suspended in the haze, like a platter of molten brass, till the turning earth, settling to sleep, shouldered it almost out of sight. That brought them back to realities. "We must scoot," said Roy.
But I should not give up and go away, simply for that. I am not well, and I am quite sure that I need several years of a milder climate. I dare say I shall be home-sick, and come back after all." Rachel lifted her eyes and looked steadily in his. Her tears stopped. The old clairvoyant gaze, which he had not seen on her face for many years, returned. "No. You will never come back," she said slowly.
She chatted freely with the young elder near her, learned that he was from Idaho, that he had been away six months, that he had not been home-sick, and that he was not married. The elders were to hold street meetings that evening after supper. "I should like to go with you," she said; but Chester, overhearing the conversation, told her that for various reasons, such a course would not be wise.
'Alas! they did. For some months I supported myself in Chicago, writing for that same paper, and for others. But at length the flow of my inspiration was checked; I had written myself out. And I began to grow home-sick, wanted to get back to England. The result was that I found myself one day in New York again, but without money enough to pay for a passage home. I tried to write one more story.
