"Have I not always loved thee, Lambkin; search thy memory; did I ever tell thee lies or use the veil of falsehood to cover from thee that which I would not have thee know?" "Nay; but thou hast used artifice 'til it is threadbare, and I now behold its naked warp." "But hast well served, thou canst not deny.
"But if, sooner or later, something happens which my lambkin, who thinks only of her sweet babble, does not dream, it will return to me with interest. Besides, she must see what maternal affection I feel for her." Then, with tender caution, she kissed the girl's glowing cheeks, and the blessing with which she at last dismissed her sounded devout and loving enough.
Then you and yours can come opportunely up, too late for protecting the old ram and dam, but in time to rescue the bleating lambkin, and bear her away to a place of safety. Your own toldo, Senor Aguara; where, take my word for't, no one will ever come to inquire after, much less reclaim her. You consent?"
"Yes," answered Nora. "Why?" "Because I have something to tell you-important." "What is it? " whispered Nora, eagerly. He leaned toward her and replied: " Marjory Wainwright and Coleman are engaged." To his unfeigned astonishment, Nora Black burst into peals of silvery laughter, " Oh, indeed? And so this is your tragic story, poor, innocent lambkin? And what did you expect? That I would faint?"
Nora disappeared around the corner of the house, but reappeared immediately, leading by the hand a broadly smiling Hippy, who carried a huge bouquet of buttercups and daisies in his free hand and cavorted at her side as joyously as the proverbial lambkin on the green. "You can lead the way with him, Nora," directed David. "I wouldn't trust him to bring up the rear.
"Neither has he, Lambkin; 'tis his Lordship himself." Her voice rang truth and Katherine turned dismayed, "Nay, Janet, the man was a drunken fool! Surely, surely thou dost not mean thy sayings. He is not a fit person to be in so great a castle. Thou art shamming!" "I mean every word; 'tis my Lord en masque, for to-night there is to be a great and magnificent spectacle."
"Never mind her," said her sister soothingly. "She is a motherless child, and therefore unlike us. As for Heinz Schorlin, he is certainly a gallant knight; but, my innocent lambkin, he is a wolf nevertheless." "A wolf?" asked Eva, opening her large eyes as wide as if they beheld some terrible object.
There was a sylvan attitude of somnolent sleepiness pervading that section of the external outward surface of Alabama that lay exposed to my view. "Perhaps," says I to myself, "it has not yet been discovered that the wolves have borne away the tender lambkin from the fold. Heaven help the wolves!" says I, and I went down the mountain to breakfast.
By the way, the lambkin is thriving and we've named it after you Netty!" "What? Why Netty, if you please?" Dorothy laughed and explained. She was ready now to laugh at anything and so was he: she made him finish his story, which he promptly did. After he had sent the basket-message he had grown worse. He was delirious and did not know what went on about him.
Is it not grand to think of all these things, Lambkin?" "Aye, 'tis glorious! But Janet, let me up and dress me ah, it seems an age until the morrow!" 'Twas with greater care than usual Janet made ready her Mistress. And after sundry admonitions about cold corridors and draughts, opened the door and watched her in silence as she passed through, and down the hall to vespers.
