Cleves falls away, France and Spain are sundering. I will sue for peace with the Pope, and set up a chapel to Kat's memory. He breathed as if a weight had fallen from his chest, and suddenly laughed: 'But ye must wed me to keep me in the right way. He changed his tone again. 'Why, go to Anne, he said; 'she is such a fool she will not lie to thee; and, before God, she is no wife of mine.
And in Kat's were three cakes like birds, and two like fish! "Just what we wanted!" said Kit and Kat. "Do you suppose he heard us say so?" "St. Nicholas can hear what people think," said Vrouw Vedder. "He is coming to see you to-night at six o'clock, and you must be ready to sing him a little song and answer any questions he asks you." "How glad I am that we are so good!" said Kat.
The sun climbed higher and higher in the sky, and it grew hotter and hotter on the pier. The flies tickled Kat's nose and made her sneeze. "Keep still, can't you?" said Kit crossly. "You'll scare the fish. Girls don't know how to fish." Pretty soon Kat felt a queer little jerk on her line. She was perfectly sure she did. Kat squealed and jerked her rod.
"But Kat, there's one splendid big thing to offset all those little horrid ones; why don't you think of that?" "Well, I do, and I'm most tickled to death, that mama won't have to teach any more; poor, dear, blessed mama, she's most tired and worried to death;" and Kat's face grew very tender as she swung and thought over it all.
And then no one could ever tell how it happened there was Kit in the water, too, splashing like a young whale, with Kat's hook still holding fast to his clothes in the back! Grandfather jumped then, too, you may be sure. He caught hold of Kat's rod and pulled hard and called out, "Steady there, steady!"
She jerked it so hard that one foot flew right up in the air, and one of her new wooden shoes went splash! right into the water! But that wasn't the worst of it! Before you could say Jack Robinson, Kat's hook flew around and caught in Kit's clothes and pricked him. Kit jumped and said, "Ow!"
Barnett," was Kat's good-bye, when good-bye moment came. "Everything is lovely; may you live long, and always be thus gay," said Kittie, who began to feel a queer sensation in her throat, and wanted to get off in a hurry. "I don't know what to say, except that I want you to be so happy, Bea dear," Ernestine said, giving a good-bye kiss lingeringly.
You don't think you are going to fall in love, or be sick, or go away, or anything; do you?" "Nonsense," said Kittie, but gave an expressive hug that was soothing and satisfactory, and set Kat's heart at rest.
Anyway, where is your new wooden shoe?" "Where are both of yours?" screamed Kat. Sure enough, where were they? No one had thought about shoes, because they were thinking so hard about Kit. They ran to the end of the pier and looked. There was Kat's shoe sailing away toward England like a little boat! Kit's were still bobbing about in the water near the pier. "Oh! Oh!
Beatrice spent the afternoon in fussing with her dress, and Ernestine in watching for her mother, who was spending the day with a sick friend, so as she was still absent, when the tea-bell rang, the meal was rather gloomy; for the three older girls were busy with thoughts; Kat's tooth still ached, Kittie had caught cold, and their resentment at not being included in the invitation, being mutual, they devoted themselves exclusively to each other, and Jean dismayed at the unusual silence, ate her bread and milk with a pathetic air of loneliness, quite touching.
