Scarcely had they entered their cottage than they heard horses' hoofs approaching it. Karl ran out to see who it was, while Meta was preparing the supper. "Oh, Meta!" exclaimed Karl, running back, "it is that dreadful man, Johann Herder, our grandfather's great enemy! His coming bodes us no good."
She was thinking of those winter nights when Meta lay here shivering with Jamie by her side; she thought of the lonely hours, when the house was still, and the weary worker had sat up to mend the little garments which should keep the cold from the boy. It was such a meagre tale which Meta had told. But Elsie, with her woman's heart and quick intelligence, could fill in all the details.
Norman May had been sitting very silent all the evening, and Meta, who was near him, respected his mood. When he said good-night, he drew Ethel outside the door. "Ethel," he said, "only one thing: do ask my father not to put on his spectacles to-morrow." "Very well," said Ethel, half smiling; "Richard did not mind them." "Richard has more humility I shall break down if he looks at me!
He could not hope to hide it from Lettice; and, to-day, he had recognized a note of finality in his wife's voice with regard to the school-teacher. If he went with Meta Beggs serious trouble would ensue in his home ... he wished to avoid any actual outbreak with Lettice. He remembered, tardily, her condition; it would be dangerous for her.
We always think the required sacrifice the hardest, but I must own that I could not grieve if he laid his commands on me to wait till the autumn." "Oh, that would make it a duty and all easy," said Meta, smiling; "but I don't think he will; and Aunt Flora will be only too glad to carry you out without encumbrance." "Has not Aunt Flora come to her senses about you?"
The chain of mountains placed by several modern geographers, between the Meta and the Vichada, and which appears to link the Andes of New Grenada with the Sierra Parime, is altogether imaginary. We have now examined the prolongation of the Sierra Parime on the west, towards the source of the Rio Negro: it remains for us to follow the same group in its eastern direction.
"Mary climbs like a cow, and Ethel like a father-long-legs," said Tom. "Now Meta flies like a bird." "And Tom helped me so cleverly," said Meta. "It was an excellent move, to get into the shade and this delicious pine tree fragrance." "Halt!" said Norman "this is too fast for Meta." "I cannot," said Harry. "I must get there in time to set Dr. Spencer's tackle to rights.
Meta Beggs, intercepting his intent gaze, turned and followed it to its goal ... Gordon saw now that Mrs. Caley was driving, and by her side ... Lettice! Lettice riding over the rough field, over the dark stony roads, when now, so soon ... in her condition ... it was insanity. Simeon Caley's wife should never have allowed it. The horse, stolidly walking over the sod, stopped before them. Mrs.
Meta carried the day, and her last assurance to Bellairs was that she might stay as long as seemed necessary to make her mother comfortable. Thereupon Meta found herself more helpful in some matters than she had expected, but at a loss in others. Susan, with all Mrs.
"Though to be sure you were disarming suspicion by so cautiously keeping the road between you. I should never have guessed what you had been at." There was a little pause, then Meta said, rather tremulously, "Please I think it should be known at once." "Our idle deeds confessed without loss of time, miss?"
