I am sure he took your canoe, and now my boat!" "Well, we have you anyway," said Jack giving his sister a great warm embrace, "and now we are going to take you both back to civilization. Walter, can you care for Miss Laurel?" And then Jack, seeing a good chance, slipped into Laurel's hand the envelope he had picked up in the woods.
He paused to meet her dutiful lips; then with a "Good morning, father," returned to his reading. Camilla entered at Laurel's heels; and the latter, in a delight slightly tempered by doubt, saw that she had been before her sister in a suitable dress for such a warm day. Camilla still wore her dark merino; and she gazed with mingled surprise and annoyance at Laurel's airy garb.
A wave of emotion swept over her, a loneliness and a desire the cause of which she would not face. She wanted to take Laurel's hand in hers, and with the old ponderous comfortable gentleman go up to the serenity of their gardens and wide happy house. She wanted Gerrit Ammidon to smile at her with his eyes blue like a fair sea... His father was returning.
"Which?" asked Ed, significantly. "Laurel's father is almost better. The hermit, you know." "You don't say! Can he testify?" asked Ed. "He may be able to if they require it. But the queer part is it seems to have been the shock that awakened his brain. I have read of such cases." Ed was silent, for the girls were returning.

Laurel's anticipation of pleasure ebbed as quickly as it had come she would have to move with the greatest caution all day, and spend a whole hour at the piano.
She met Laurel's gaze with a little friendly nod and said: "Don't forget about your clothes, and I think you ought to finish the practicing before dinner, so you'll be free for a walk with your grandfather in the afternoon." Soon after, Laurel stood in the hall viewing with disfavor the light dress she had put on so gayly at rising.
"Did you ever see such a black night?" asked Cora, "I had no idea Cedar lake was so so threatening!" "Never!" replied Ed. "But the water is just as friendly as ever," declared Jack. "Now let us try it." He untied the boat, and the party stepped in. Cora pressed Laurel's hand in silent encouragement for she saw her turning her eyes toward Fern Island.
