Now, if that bank examiner finds a chance to talk with you to-morrow, just put him wise to all you know about the happenings of that day, especially as to what you saw at the time you peeked in through that blessed knothole I use that word, you understand, because it is going to figure a whole lot in the final discovery of those missing securities. Don't forget, now."
As in the outer darkness Mary cautiously returned to the knothole, the three guards in front suddenly called in low tones: "S-s-s-h!" "Quit, Pete; here comes the lieutenant." The sentry had apparently been about to resume his declamation, but at these warnings he suddenly posed in a soldierly manner. A tall and lean officer with a smooth face entered the barn. The sentry saluted primly.
Crimson of face, Tommy left his lookout. Frank following, he ran round the barn and burst into the midst of the feasters. A wild scattering ensued. Cackling and squawking, the valiant Pete led the retreat through the corn. Face still flushed, Tommy came back to his post and poked his gun through the knothole. And once more, after a very brief interval, here came Pete.
"But, Aileen, I will wait I can wait; I've waited so long already. I believe I began to love you through that knothole, you remember?" "I haven't forgotten;" she half smiled at the remembrance; "but that seems so long ago, and things have changed so I've changed, Luigi." The tone of her voice was hard. Luigi looked at her in surprise. "What has changed you, Aileen? Tell me can't you trust me?"
He had stepped out of the ranks, and was performing strange manoeuvers about a knothole that looked into the courting-box. When he saw Sandy he opened fire. "Look at her! Look at her!" he whispered. "Whenever I pass she talks to Jimmy Reed on this side; but the moment she thinks I'm not looking, sir, she talks to Nelson on the other!
If the Thought of Growing Up came out tonight, she would say: "Oh, well, you may stay you needn't go back. I'm not any glad to see you, but I'm ready. I suppose I shall get used to you." What Thoughts came out of the knothole to Rebecca Mary she never told to any one. It was nearly dark when she went away, planting her feet firmly, holding her head straight Rebecca Mary Plummer.
As for the girl at the knothole, when she returned to sense she found herself standing with clinched hands and screaming with her might. As if her reason had again departed from her, she ran around the barn, in at the door, and flung herself sobbing beside the body of the soldier in blue.
All this she confessed to Freckles; and the two, under one pretence or another, managed to make daily visits to the garbage house knothole. That hole was every bit as good as a surprise party to them.
He had taken a large lot of honey out of both places the year before. Another farmer told me that one day his family had seen a number of bees examining a knothole in the side of his house; the next day, as they were sitting down to dinner, their attention was attracted by a loud humming noise, when they discovered a swarm of bees settling upon the side of the house and pouring into the knothole.
"We've all got used to each other," said Phil. "And I've learned how to wash dishes and sweep a floor." "But you needn't try to make us believe you can chloroform a cat," laughed Anne. "It was all the fault of the knothole," protested Phil. "It was a good thing the knothole was there," said Aunt Jamesina rather severely. "Kittens HAVE to be drowned, I admit, or the world would be overrun.
