Ménie Garland, the youngest of all, was then a slim girl still at Stranryan Grammar School, with the softest eyes and the most wonderful voice, round-throated and full-chested even at the ungrateful age of fourteen.
There was nothing to counteract these except his love for Menie Gray, and the engagements into which it had led him. But his addresses had been paid to Menie as much for the gratification of his vanity, as from any decided passion for that innocent and guileless being. He was desirous of carrying off the prize, for which Hartley, whom he never loved, had the courage to contend with him.
"Yes, the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, I used to think them," said Norman. "And I, too," said Menie. "Whenever I think of the garden of Eden, I fancy it like our garden at home." "Your imagination is not very brilliant, if you can't get beyond that for Paradise," said Arthur, laughing. "Well, maybe not, but I always do think of it so. Oh! it was a bonny place.
After a while she said, "You can keep your old eye if you get it. It's so dark the fish can't see to get themselves caught anyway. I'm cold. I'm going home." Menie got up very slowly and pulled up his line. As they turned toward the shore, Monnie cried out, "Look, look! The sky is on fire!" It looked like it, truly!
"Ay, she was aye bonny," said Janet, in the same low voice, "and she looks like an angel now." Graeme stood gazing at her sister, and in a little Janet spoke again. "Miss Graeme, you canna mind your aunt Marian?" No, Graeme could not. "Menie is growing very like her, I think. She was bonnier than your mother even, and she kept her beauty to the very last.
When Menie saw his father coming with the kyak, he wasn't afraid any more, for he was sure his father would save him. He wasn't even afraid about the cakes of ice that were floating in the water, though there is nothing more dangerous than to go out in a kyak among ice floes.
I myself will be no cause of suspicion to him, or of inconvenience to you, Menie. Let me but have your consent to the arrangement I propose, and the same moment that sees you under honourable and unsuspected protection, I will leave Madras, not to return till your destiny is in one way or other permanently fixed." "No, Hartley," said Miss Gray.
"I would have thought it a hard lot for Menie or Rosie to go with them; and when she begged to stay with me, I could not send her with them. If it had not been so far, I would have sent her to you, Graeme. But as I could not do that, I kept her with me while I stayed in C, and there I sent her to school. They say she bids fair to be a learned lady some day."
So he stuck his head into the other end of the tunnel and called, "Keep still. You'll wake the baby! I'll be there in a minute." Very soon Koko popped out of the black hole. He was dressed in a fur suit and mittens just like the twins. The three children went along together toward the Big Rock. Monnie rode on the sled, and Menie and Koko pulled it.
But she shut her eyes, jerked her head forward, and got it down! "Will you make two holes in the ice for us to fish through?" she said. She got the words out first! Then she took another bite of meat. "Have you got your lines ready, and anything for bait?" asked their father. By this time Menie had swallowed his mouthful too. He said, "We can take a piece of bear's meat for bait.
