Next moment he appeared on the surface shouting and spluttering, with a splendid fish on the end of his harpoon! Both were hauled into the boat, and very soon after they drew near to land. In the shallow water Nigel observed some remarkable creatures which resembled hedgehogs, having jaws armed with formidable teeth to enable them to feed, Kathy said, on coral insects.
In fact, he thought so much that he asked if she'd give him a line of introduction to Madame, as he had a cousin who wanted to go to a French school, and next time he "ran across to Paris," he might have a look at Versailles. Kathy gave the note, and that same night, if you'll believe it, the horrid little boy did "run across."
Polly's welcome to me was most cordial. She was bright as a cricket and full of chat about her visit. With her usual care she examined my cage closely to see that everything was in order and petted and praised me for a little while to my full content, then ran to Miss Kathy to tell her of the new story book which had been presented to her while away.
When the season is over, Bart agrees to see him on board ship with a prepaid passage straight to Kathy, and whatever else is his due sent to her! Meanwhile he promised to "fit the leddy with the tastiest garden off the old sod!" So here we are! This chronicle should have a penny-dreadful title, "Their Midnight Adventure, or How it Rained a Rose Gardener!"
"That is the way, Mr. Falcon," she said, going up to Mäzli, and quickly lifting her in her strong arms, she carried her upstairs. Despite all her lamenting the child was then undressed and put to bed. In the shortest time she was sound asleep again without a trace of fever. "Well, that's over now," Uncle Philip said, quite relieved when Kathy came back with the news.
Nevertheless, I think you wouldn't find poor Kathy a bother; she's too modest for that moreover, she could manage a boat and pull a good oar when I was here last, and no doubt she has improved since." "Nevertheless, I'd rather be alone," persisted Nigel. "But why do you call her poor Kathy? She seems to be quite as strong and as jolly as the rest of her brothers and sisters."
Stooping swiftly as he spoke, he dipped his arm into the water, and actually did grasp the fish by its tail, but dropped it again instantly to the shrieking delight of the urchin and Kathy, for the tail was armed with a series of sharp spines which ran into his hand like lancets. This was an appropriate conclusion to a day that would have been otherwise too enjoyable.
"Right, Kathy, right; I'll keep a sharp lookout next time. Meanwhile I will return good for evil by offering my hand to help you a hallo!" While he spoke the girl had sprung past him like a grasshopper, and alighted on the sand like a butterfly.
Someone noticed, and more than that, fell in love with him: a fifteen-year-old Chicano girl named Kathy. Their meeting was chance enough, and would have passed like so many others, but for the small compassion that still lived in him.
"You'd better send the young lady below or get some one to take up her attention just now." "Here, Nigel. Sit down under the lee of the companion, an' tell Kathy how this all came about," said the captain, promptly, as if issuing nautical orders. "I want you here, Van der Kemp."
