But a senior's life is busy and taken up with its own affairs, and for the next week or two Patty saw little of the freshman beyond an occasional chat in the corridors. One evening she and Priscilla had returned late from a dinner in town, to be confronted by a dark room and an empty match-safe.
"But surely," she assured him in her own tongue, "it is no more than if she cut her finger. In a few breaths she will recover. She looked her inquiry for permission. "Sagaamig go," assented Albret. Relieved in mind, he dropped into a chair. His eye caught the little silver match-safe. He picked it up and fell to staring at the rudely carved letters.
A small axe one of the pocket size will do, if you get the right shape and balance, although a light regulation axe is better; a thin-bladed sheath-knife of the best steel; a pocket-knife; a compass; a waterproof match-safe; fishing-tackle; firearms; and cooking utensils comprise the list. All others belong to permanent camps, or open-water cruises not to "hikes" in the woods.
While he sat thus absorbed in his meditations, he was startled at the sound of something resembling a sob. He arose to strike a light, but found that his match-safe was empty. But what was that? A step without, surely, and the groping of hands for the door-knob. "Who is there?" cried the pastor, with a shivering uneasiness. He sprang forward and opened the door.
"I didn't touch him, and I don't believe anybody has come to this closet since I put him here, except you. Wouldn't it be funny, Madeline, if the Clown got up by himself to see if he could walk on his glued leg?" "Yes, it would be very funny," agreed the little girl. "But maybe my Rabbit helped him, or this Match-Safe Cat. Maybe they moved the Clown!" "How could they?" Sidney wanted to know.
Yet I can refer my fears to no known cause." "That is folly." Mr. Aylett bit off the end of a cigar, and felt in his vest pocket for a match-safe. "You should be able always to assign a reason for the fear as well as the hope that is in you. You have no idea, you say, from what recent event your prognostication takes its hue?" She laughed, and straightened her fine neck.
If another quake comes it'll let me drop; and perhaps the ground may be a full dozen feet below." By this time Frank had reached the edge of the drop. He remembered skirting it in climbing upward just a minute before; but had been more successful about doing so than Bob, who was less accustomed to this kind of work. Frank again had recourse to his handy match-safe.
My travelling-companion stopped for a moment, cleared his throat, drew a silver match-safe from his pocket, relighted his cigar, and continued. "The overseer put Aleck to ploughing the old orchard that lay between the quarters and the house. I sneaked out to watch him as a curious child would, still intent on seeing his wounds.
Then, as one would make a plunge into cold water, quickly, in one motion, he laid on the table something over which he held his hand. "You are wondering why I am interviewing you again," said he. "It is because I have become aware of certain things. When you left me a few hours ago you dropped this." He moved his hand to one side. The silver match-safe lay on the table.
"No gift from his hands; nothing at all of his but this." He showed her an ordinary little silver match-safe such as men use in the North country. "They brought that to me at the last the Indians who came to tell my priest the news; and the priest, who was a good man, gave it to me. I have carried it ever since." Virginia took it reverently.
