But he recollected that Privy Seal had witnesses enow of his own. To-morrow was also a day; and the King, if he would not now listen to tales against Kat Howard, might be brought to give ear to those and others added in a year's time, or when he began to tire of his woman as all men tire of women. Therefore he once more closed his lips.
He came one evening, a tall pale youth, with very black eyes, quiet gentlemanly manners, and a faint suspicion of a mustache, and Kat instantly declared that she didn't like him. "I told you he'd be solemn, and look like a preacher.
It had been a settled fact in the family, for the past year, that Ralph was growing very fond of "Kathy dear," and that very likely she had been the great object in his thoughts when he went away, and promised to come back, and then "Kat," said Kittie, with great solemnity, when her thoughts reached that point, and she was conscious of feeling hurt.
It is probably well founded psychologically, a fact that I should like to emphasize in opposition to Fischer, Kat. The material to work upon, say the alchemists, is quite common and is met with everywhere. It is necessary only to know how to distinguish it, and that is where all the difficulty lies.
"Why, Kat, what is the matter?" "Nothing; not a blessed thing; I'm just trying to see how big a goose I can be. Where did you come from?" "Down town. Why, child, you look as if you had been crying for hours. What is the matter?"
"General Orders" had been found which had been scattered over a country 500 miles in extent, and these call upon the colored men to unite and drive the white men into the sea, "of which they are the scum." Sir Andrew Stockenstrom, from the Kat River settlement, called the rebellion "a Riddle," and the Hon.
It was not yet supper-time, but Vrouw Vedder was always ahead of the clock with the work. Kit and Kat had a pan of water and were teaching their ducklings to swim. They each had one little fat duckling of their very own. The ducklings squawked when Kit lifted them over the edge of the pan into the water. "Don't do that, Kit," said Kat. "The ducklings don't like it.
"No," said Vrouw Vedder; "but it is cold, and I thought a cup of coffee would warm us all up." While they were drinking their coffee, Kit and Kat talked about the ice, and what fun they would have with their sleds on the canals when winter came. "I tell you what it is, Kat," said Kit; "I think we're big enough to have skates. Hans Hite isn't much bigger than I am, and he had skates last winter.
Dane, and a few other sensible ladies, were indignantly denying it, with what success, persons who deny rash stories, can guess. "I declare," cried Kat one day in desperation, "I can't bear to go up stairs. I just dream about how sad she looks, and I can't keep from crying just to think that she really isn't our sister any more than than Susie Darrow or any of the other girls.
Kat would have torn wildly down stairs, and declared that the house was haunted; but she stood there, quite still, until that feeble moan came again; then with a thought as quick as lightning, she cleared the remaining steps with one jump, flew across the hall, and into the spare room!
