When I stopped playing, Nelly was regarding me with round open eyes, and Kenneth took me quite aback by saying, with cool deliberation, 'There are moments, Goody Two-Shoes, when you and your fiddle are before my eyes, that I think I should like to marry you and take you away with me somewhere where you should charm me with those strains continually. Don't look so frightened.
Susan leaned toward him, her face not twelve inches away from his face, her hand laid lightly for a second on his arm. "You know that I will go with you to the end of the world, Stephen!" she said, scarcely above a whisper, and was gone. It became evident, in a day or two, that Kenneth Saunders' illness had taken a rather alarming turn.
"No, the faculty won't let us. Perfect rot, isn't it? They let us play outsiders at football and baseball and all that, but they won't let us take on even the grammar school for basket ball. Randy says the game is too rough and we might get injured. Bough! I'd like to know what he calls football!" "I don't understand about the classes here," said Kenneth.
"I'll jest fill in these blank places," he announced, briskly, "with ther names of Dorothy Harper an' Cal Maggard an' then we'll be ready fer ther signatures." But at that Maggard raised an imperative hand in negation. "No," he said, shortly and categorically, "I aims ter be married by my rightful name put hit down thar like hit is Kenneth Parish Thornton all of hit!"
I'll stick to my point, Silas, but I'll try to make Patricia believe she has won me over." Therefore, the very next time that the girl pleaded with her to make Kenneth her heir, she said, with a clever assumption of resignation: "Very well, Patricia; you shall have your way.
There git along wid ye." "Don't be hard on them, Rooney," said Kenneth, laughing, "they seem to have done good service." "True for ye," replied Rooney, "it wouldn't have bin aisy to git the ladies down here widout 'em, the snow was so soft wi' the thaw that it nigh tore the snow-shoes off me feet, an' my poor legs is at laist three inches longer than whin I set out, if not four."
One of the teamsters came up hurriedly and exclaimed breathlessly: "He's found some one, sir; he's got two men with him. They're coming now." Kenneth jumped up and, shading his eyes, looked out across the yellow waste of stones and gravel. About a mile away he saw François, accompanied by two strangers, who looked like miners. They were tattered and miserable looking, as if down on their luck.
No one ever knew what it cost in labor and material to erase those three signs; but after ten days they had vanished completely, and the boy heaved a sigh of satisfaction and turned his attention to extending the campaign. On the farm nearest to Elmhurst at the north, which belonged to a man named Webb, was a barn, facing the road, that displayed on its side a tobacco sign. Kenneth interviewed Mr.
Catharine's absence would have been quite unaccountable but for the testimony of Duncan and Kenneth, who had received her sisterly caresses before she joined Hector at the barn; and much her mother marvelled what could have induced her good dutiful Catharine to have left her work and forsaken her household duties to go rambling away with the boys, for she never left the house when her mother was absent from, it, without her express permission, and now she was gone lost to them, perhaps for ever.
She was ridiculing me on the morning of the day she left, when we were gathered round the drawing-room fire just before luncheon. I could not well make my escape, so bore it as quietly as I could; but to my surprise Kenneth turned upon her. 'Now look here, Florence, he said, 'you have had it all your own way since Goody made you lose your bet; don't you think you can part from her in peace?
