For all his gaiety in play and his energy at work Bobby's eyes had ever a patient, wistful look, not unlike the crippled laddie's. Ah, who can say that it did not require as much courage and gallant bravado on the part of that small, bereft creature to enable him to live at all, as it did for Tammy to face his handicapped life and "no' to remember 'is bad legs"?
I was going to speak to you about it, I supposed it was that black bear of Laddie's, when we had the next puncture. And that made me forget all about it; till now. Of course, it never occurred to me it could be Lad. Because Barret had said he was in the truck. But but oh, it WAS Laddie! He he was fastened, or caught, in some way. I know he was. Why, I could see him struggle to "
The shouts and laughter and Laddie's barking were making a tumult which vied with the noise of wind and waves, when Hamish touched Allan's arm and pointed to the sky. 'Oh, I say, said Allan, 'we really ought to go; it's going to pour like anything, and the girls will get wet. 'I'm wet enough already, I think, especially about the feet, murmured Tricksy; while Marjorie's lips tightened.
"Yes, we're here for the summer. I guess I saw you down on the beach last night roasting marshmallows, didn't I?" "Yes, and we gave your dog some," returned Laddie. "What's your name?" "George Carr. What's yours?" "Laddie Bunker." "Mine's Russ," said Laddie's brother. "Oh, look! I guess I've got a crab!"
He was freight conductor on the U.P. when I was a boy at Cheyenne. We'll nab him first thing in the morning." "Can't we nab him to-night?" asked Geordie. McCrea laughed. "You're keen as your father, Pops," said he. "Niver put off till t'-morrow what can be done the day." "The laddie's right," said Ross.
I'll put your special pleading up to the girl." He clasped Laddie's hand, mounted and rode back to the gate he had entered when he came. Laddie sat on the rail, so I climbed down beside him. He put his arm around me. "Do I feel any better?" he asked dubiously. "Of course you do!" I said stoutly. "You feel whole heaps, and stacks, and piles better. You haven't got him to fight any more, or Mrs.
But I continued to gulp. "Dinna greet, for your laddie's safe and sound!" I heard the rapt voice saying. I could hear what he'd said, quite distinctly, yet his words seemed without color, without meaning, without sense. "Have you found him?" called out Lady Alicia sharply.
We've baith been wae these mony years, but the mirk'll be past an' by when oor laddie's safe hame wi' us again." A strange sense of the nearness of the supernatural took possession of me, for Elsie's voice was not the voice of fevered fancy; the fast ebbing tide of life seemed to flow back again, her strength visibly increased, as if she must remain till her Robin had been welcomed home.
She waited, watching Laddie's plump little body wriggling farther and farther into the culvert. His jacket caught several times on the rough rim of the opening. But he persevered. "Oh!" ejaculated Laddie at last, and his voice seemed a murmur from a great way off. "I guess you better come back, Laddie," said Vi, getting anxious. Laddie, if the truth were known, thought so too.
Laddie's remonstrances died away in a disapproving grumble, as though he were saying that he wasn't satisfied yet, and would renew the subject upon some future occasion. 'If you don't mind, said Neil, who had been watching the retreating form of the gipsy, 'I will be going a bit of the way with him. He iss trying to cross the Shaking Bog now, and he might be coming to harm in it.
