"Every word you say convinces me more and more that the Merediths belong to the race that knows Joseph," said Mistress Anne decidedly. "When all is said and done, they DO," admitted Miss Cornelia. "And that balances everything. Anyway, we've got them now and we must just do the best we can by them and stick up for them to the Methodists. Well, I suppose I must be getting down harbour.
The three Merediths sat and gazed as if turned to stone. "It's it's the calf," whispered Una at last. "It's too big for the calf," whispered Faith. Her mouth and lips were so dry she could hardly articulate the words. Suddenly Carl gasped, "It's coming here." The girls gave one last agonized glance. Yes, it was creeping down over the dyke, as no calf ever did or could creep.
Take it off, I tell you!" "Merry Christmas!" and Eunice gave him such a scornful shrug of her furred shoulders that Hendricks laughed out, in sheer enjoyment of her audacity. "Tell me about the Merediths, and I'll take off the offending veil," she urged, looking at him very coaxingly. "All right; off with it."
This was the certainty that Judge Morris, who was the old family lawyer of the Merediths, and had been Rowan's guardian, and had indeed known him intimately from childhood, was in ignorance of any reason for the present trouble; otherwise he would not have said that he should go to Rowan and ask the explanation.
The departure of the Merediths for headquarters under arrest had set Brunswick agog, and all sorts of surmises as to their probable guilt and fate had given the gossips much to talk of; their return, three days later, not merely unpunished, but with a protection from the commander-in-chief, set the village clacks still more industriously at work.
"You are to be our guests today though, and the more the merrier, Aunt Janice said that of us; let's spread the table." Alice skipped around as they made preparations, running back and forth, and helping Marty with tumblers and a pitcher of cool water from the spring. Even the Merediths were not prepared for such a feast!
But as far as seeing through a grindstone goes, I am afraid " Susan shook her head dubiously, "that they are all tarred with the same brush." "I am thankful Christmas is over," Rilla wrote in her diary during the last week of a stormy December. "We had dreaded it so the first Christmas since Courcelette. But we had all the Merediths down for dinner and nobody tried to be gay or cheerful.
A word with you ere Grayson and Boudinot who have gone to look at that marplot house of Cliveden which frustrated all our hopes four months since return and interrupt us. I last saw you at the Merediths'; can you give me word of them?" "Only ill ones, alas!" answered the captain.
In the meantime he searched his mind for some reasonable excuse. "Look here," he said, "I'll join you later, Oscar. I've promised some friends at Nantucket that I'll come down for the hunting." "I didn't know that you had friends in Nantucket," Oscar told him moodily. "The Merediths," George remembered in the nick of time the name of Becky's grandfather. Oscar would not know the difference.
"Remember, I passed my oath to General Arnold that there 'ud be no violence; an' if we don't keep it, the troops will be down on us. an' some on you will spend a night in the guard-house" "Hooray!" cheered some one, and the mass echoed the cry. The spokesman turned to the Merediths.
