Her heart became a little elevator dropping in sheer descent. "Oh how do you do?" They were pushed shoulder to shoulder, and, to Lilly's agony, her mother's voice lifted itself in loud concern. "For pity's sake, look at that downpour, will you? I hope your father has the good sense to wear his rubbers. Ouch! Don't knock me down, please." "Mamma please. Mr. Lindsley, I want you to meet my mother."
She heard this basket had been sent, and hastened back as soon as she could. "I hope they haven't eaten up all my peaches!" was her first exclamation. She was quite indignant to find the basket had been opened. Mrs. Lindsley gave her all she considered it safe for her to eat; but Ella was not happy. She felt as if they all ought to be hers, and she really cried about it.
Lindsley, who was not a church member. "Practical and fearless; I'm glad to have heard him. I shall come again;" and he hurried out of the house. It was not often that a sermon was honored by being discussed at the Goodrich table; nor indeed, that any topic of religion was mentioned; but Adam could not contain himself after the unheard of things which his pastor had preached that morning.
He deposited his hat on the flat top indicated, his silhouette cutting vigorously into the dimness, particularly the rather heavy double wave to his hair causing Lilly to grope with a vague sense of having seen him before. It was merely a rather remote resemblance to the remote Horace Lindsley, but not for days did she stumble across this realization.
Even Dan Devore, experienced mountaineer and guide that he was, had only been to Cascade Pass once, and that was sixteen years before. He had never been across the divide. "Silent Lawrie" Lindsley, the naturalist, had been only part-way down the Agnes Creek Valley, which we intended to follow. Only in a general way had we any itinerary at all. Now a National Forest is a happy hunting-ground.
Quickly at the given signal all the troops "fell in" and the regulation "horse shoe" was formed with Captain Clark and Lieutenant Lindsley in the gap, when the salute was given and the other formalities complied with and each candidate was conducted to the captain.
"Will you agree, upon your word and honor, to stick as long as any one does?" "That depends upon circumstances," interposed Lindsley. "I suppose it does," sneered Howe. "It isn't fair to leave us to bear the brunt of the whole." "All we ever proposed to do was simply to refuse to do duty till we had explained our position to the principal," added Raymond.
The steward passed on, and refused to answer any more questions. "If we can't have coffee, give us some water," said Lindsley. "Water is water," replied the steward. The rebels were hungry, and they ate, though very sparingly, of the unpalatable food which was set before them.
We must do something to prove that we are somebody," persisted Raymond. "That's so," added Lindsley, earnestly. "I don't believe in all Howe's nonsense, but there is a good deal of truth in what he says. We are not common sailors, but the sons of wealthy men.
"That looks like something," said Lindsley. "I tell you we are sold," added Hyde. "The principal isn't coming down here to ask us for an explanation. It isn't his style." "Don't croak any more, Hyde," protested Raymond, in disgust. "I only say we are sold, and you can't deny it." "Wait and see." They did wait, and after a while they heard the order to shake out the topsails.
