As they made their way up the beach, a fair-haired, blue-eyed little girl ran out from among the crowd and threw herself, regardless of Adam's dripping garments, into his arms. "Maidy May so glad you safe," she exclaimed, as the fisherman bestowed a kiss on her brow. "We afraid the cruel sea take you away." "There was no great danger of that, my little maiden," answered Adam, putting her down.
'Have ye heard about the King coming, Miss Maidy Anne? he said. Anne said that she had just heard of it; and the trumpet-major, who hardly welcomed his father at such a moment, explained what he knew of the matter. 'And you will go with your regiment to meet 'en, I suppose? said old Loveday. Young Loveday said that the men of the German Legion were to perform that duty.
He stood in the hall, hat in hand, watching the door of the drawing-room, through which Susan had intimated May would appear. As soon as she saw him she ran forward and took both of his hands, pleasure beaming on her countenance. He stooped down and kissed her. "Are you ready to come with me, Maidy May?" he asked; "you don't want to stop away from us with the ladies here, do you?"
"I don't know about ghosts," she was saying; "but I do know that our souls can be made to go outside our bodies when we are alive." "What really now? And is it so, maidy?" he said.
Your husband, poor man lovely picters that a' would make to be sure would have been in with us long ago if he had been in your place. I can take no nay from ye, upon my honour. You and maidy Anne must come in, if it be only for half-an-hour.
'Go on, do ye, maidy Anne, said Uncle Benjy, keeping down his tremblings by a great effort to half their natural extent. Anne's voice became much lower now that there were two listeners, and her modesty shrank somewhat from exposing to Festus the appreciative modulations which an intelligent interest in the subject drew from her when unembarrassed.
"Maidy May," she said, with an emphasis on the last word, as if wishing to tell him her proper name. "Yes, our `Maiden May' you are," he answered, misunderstanding her, and from that day forward Adam called her Maiden May, the rest of the family imitating him, and she without question adopting the name. Dame Halliburt was a good housewife, and an active woman of business.
'Maister Bob have put down one of the under sheets by mistake, and I thought you might not like it, sir, as there's ladies present! 'Faith, 'twas the first thing that came to hand, said Robert. 'It seemed a tablecloth to me. 'Never mind don't pull off the things now he's laid 'em down let it bide, said the miller. 'But where's Widow Garland and Maidy Anne?
But you might have no small addition to your settlers; some of us poor old creatures would have settled heavy enough I fear upon yourself and family. It is a fine place Mal Bay turned by your account. What a deal of respectable company. I am glad of it on your account. A very great piece of good fortune to get Col. Fraser so near; I wonder he does not marry Maidy, but she will think him too old.
"Upon my soul and body, this here stooping do fairly make my back open and shut!" he exclaimed, straightening himself slowly with an excruciated look till quite upright. "And you, maidy Tess, you wasn't well a day or two ago this will make your head ache finely! Don't do any more, if you feel fainty; leave the rest to finish it." Dairyman Crick withdrew, and Tess dropped behind.
