"Indeed, it is the slouch I am," said Ranald, and he hurried off to the stable, returning in a very short time with the pony saddled. "You would not care to go with your uncle, Maimie?" said Mrs. Murray, as Lambert drove up Black in the buggy. "No, auntie, I think not," said Maimie. "I will take care of Hughie and the baby." "Good by, then, my dear," said Mrs. Murray, kissing her.
It was also a serene look that contrasted grandly with Tony's uneasy glances. It was then that Maimie was terrible. Tony entreated her not to do it to-night, and the mother and their coloured nurse threatened her, but Maimie merely smiled her agitating smile.
"Do you mean he is going to speak to your father about you, Maimie?" Maimie nodded. "And are you glad?" "He's very handsome, auntie, and very nice, and he's awfully well connected, and that sort of thing, and when Lord Heathcote dies he has a good chance of the estates and the title." "Do you love him, Maimie?" asked her aunt, quietly.
But he did not feel awkward or shy; he was thinking now, as he had been thinking now and then through the whole evening, of only one thing, that Maimie was going away. That would make a great difference to him, so great that he was conscious of a heart-sinking at the mere thought of it.
It is feeling your bed with its horns it is boring for you, O Tony, oh! and she desists not until he rushes downstairs in his combinations, screeching. When they came up to whip Maimie they usually found her sleeping tranquilly not shamming, you know, but really sleeping, and looking like the sweetest little angel, which seems to me to make it almost worse.
In another moment leaving the lieutenant to shift for himself, Ranald was on his knees beside Maimie, who lay upon the moss, white and still.
'If she doesn't bar you out, said Peter huskily. 'The door, replied Maimie, 'will always, always be open, and mother will always be waiting at it for me. 'Then, said Peter, not without grimness, 'step in, if you feel so sure of her, and he helped Maimie into the Thrush's Nest. 'But why don't you look at me? she asked, taking him by the arm.
"I ought to have been very angry," replied Maimie, severely. "But you weren't, you know you weren't; and do you remember what you said?" "What I said? How awful of you; don't you dare! How can I remember?" "Yes, you do remember, and then do you remember what I said?" "What YOU said indeed! Such assurance!" "I have kept my word," said Ranald, "and I am coming to-morrow night.
Peter tried hard not to look, he tried to push off, then he gave a great gulp and jumped ashore and sat down miserably in the snow. She went to him. 'What is it, dear, dear Peter? she said, wondering. 'O Maimie, he cried, 'it isn't fair to take you with me if you think you can go back! Your mother' he gulped again 'you don't know them as well as I do.
She leapt into his arms, so that it was a sort of fairy wedding, and then she hurried away. Oh, how she hastened to the gates! Peter, you may be sure, was back in the Gardens that night as soon as Lock-out sounded, but he found no Maimie, and so he knew she had been in time.
