Horner's attempts to detain her, rushed into the house without vouchsafing him a word of adieu, and left him standing, no bad personification of Orpheus, after the last hopeless flitting of his Eurydice. "Won't you 'light, Master?" said Mr. Kingsbury. "Yes no thank you good evening," stammered poor Master Horner, so stupefied that even Aunt Sally called him "a dummy."
At last a faint quiver and shrinking in the bird's form, an involuntary contracting of the feathers, gave warning to Horner's experienced eye that it was about to spring aside. On the instant he flung the shirt, keeping hold of it by the sleeve.
It was finally found in Jack Horner's pie, which was a big one made of a shoe box. And Johnnie, as Jack Horner, pulled out the horn instead of a plum. His sore thumb did not bother him much. "Well, did you like the play?" the teacher asked the other children, who had only looked on. "It was fine!" they all said. "We'd like to see it again." "Well, perhaps you may," returned Miss Earle.
"But there are more things to be thought of, in carrying out such a plan, than you are aware of. However, it shall be tried." "The school, my lady?" I exclaimed, almost thinking she did not know what she was saying. "Yes, the school. For Mr. Horner's sake, for Mr. Gray's sake, and last, not least, for this lad's sake, I will give the new plan a trial. Ask Mr.
"But he won't pull those chaps around, from the look of it," he added, pointing at the Macedonia's third boat, for which I had been steering and which was now nearly abreast of us.

Ever experienced it, Mr. Van Weyden?"

Two or three years later, it fell in Horner's way to visit a great city, many hundreds of miles from the gray peak of "Old Baldy."
Horner's lips but with such conviction that Eugene, in spite of everything, began to feel himself in the presence of a third party, who was none the less an individual, even though she might be another edition of the apparently somnambulistic Mrs. Horner. "Never was Mrs. Horner or anybody but just Lopa. Guide." "You mean you're Mrs. Horner's guide?" he asked.
His long, sensitive muzzle was held high to catch a breeze which drew coolly down from the north, and his half-shut eyes, in Horner's fancy, saw not the wires of his fence, but the cool, black-green fir thickets of the north, the gray rampikes of the windy barrens, the broad lily leaves afloat in the sheltered cove, the wide, low-shored lake water gleaming rose-red in the sunset.
We had not been long at sea before a heavy gale sprang up, but as the wind was from the westward we were able to lay our course.
