Except for the Lieutenant of the "Mongoose", the Club was empty. "Juddy, there will be a beautiful row," said that young man when he had heard the news delivered in an undertone. "You'll probably have to fight, and yet I can't see what the Admiral's thinking of to " "My orders are not to fight under any circumstances," said Judson. "Go-look-see? That all? When do you go?" "To-night if I can.
Instantly she sat up straight, and turned her eyes, full of surprise, upon him. "Why, Juddy!" she said. "Ef hit's thet doctor man, I likes hit least uv all, Smiles," the man continued, speaking bitterly. "He haint come fur no good, leetle gal, an' I don't want fer yo' ter think on him." "I reckon I thinks on whom I likes," she responded briefly. "Don't go fer ter git angry with me, Rose gal.
Judd Amos was coming around the side of the cottage, and the night had apparently not taken the black look from his countenance. "Oh, Juddy," cried the baby, wriggling free of Donald's arms. "Thet man thar air er goin' ter send me er doll baby thet opens an' shets hits eyes, Juddy." "We're obleeged ter ye; but I reckon thet I kin buy Lou all the presents she needs," said Judd gruffly.
When The Sarah bumped into the Greenpier wharf, the four little Blossoms made a simultaneous discovery. "Jud!" they shrieked in unison. "Jud Apgar! Oh, Juddy!" It was Jud, Jud grinning happily with a traveling bag in one hand and a box in the other. "Go easy now," he warned the children as they descended upon him in a body.
"Judson, the Admiral wants to see you!" said the Staff-Captain, disregarding the scoffer of the "Mongoose". "I told you you'd be a dockyard-tender yet, Juddy. A side of fresh beef to-morrow and three dozen snapper on ice. On ice, you understand, Juddy?" Bai-Jove-Judson and the Staff-Captain went out together. "Now, what does the Admiral want with Judson?" said Keate from the bar. "Don't know.
Grandpa and Jimmie were on the first floor mending harness, and the doors were open so that they could see right out into the orchard and yet not get a bit wet. Just as Araminta had said, all the Hatch children were there, even the baby, who lay asleep on the hay in a nice, quiet corner. "Hurrah!" cried Juddy Hatch. "We're going to play robbers, and you can be in my cave."
A good sportsman doesn't growl even if he spends a whole day and doesn't catch one fish. We'll be good sports, shan't we?" "Yes," agreed Sunny Boy. "But I would rather catch a fish." Daddy laughed and began to whistle. "Do you know Jimmie?" said Sunny Boy, running to keep up with him. "Do you know Jimmie and Mr. Sites and Araminta and David and Raymond and Juddy and Fred and Sarah and Dorabelle?
They found Sunny absorbed in watching a mother duck and her ten little ducklings who were swimming daintily about in a trough in the dairy. "Well, where were you?" Juddy pounced on Sunny Boy. "You gave us an awful scare." "I've been right here all the time." Sunny was a bit aggrieved to find such a fuss made over him. First Jimmie and now Juddy. "I haven't been anywhere," he insisted.
"Not till we have something to tell," was Jimmie's answer. "Where was he when you saw him last?" "Right over in that corner," said Juddy, pointing. "I saw him going over the top of the cave, an' then I ducked under, and when David got Dorabelle he just wasn't here." "He must be here somewhere," retorted Jimmie impatiently. "I'm going to look once more and if he's just hiding, won't I shake him!"
"But my brother Juddy don't love ye none," said the child, innocently bringing a cloud over the friendly sunshine in her hearers' hearts. Donald looked at Rose uneasily as he answered. "Oh, I hope he will like me some day. We should be the best of friends, for we both care for the same two dear girls." "Where is Juddy?" came Smiles' somewhat troubled query.
