"And how to look after ourselves," thought Mary. At that moment dinner was announced, and she went in on Morris's arm, the Colonel gallantly insisting that it should be so. After this things progressed a good deal better. The first plunge was over, and the cool refreshing waters of Mary's conversation seemed to give back to Morris's system some of the tone that it had lost.
He was plainly nervous. "I'm not very clean," he said apologetically. "I've been helping father fix a buggy." "Oh, we don't mind," said Myrtle. "Where are you going?" "Over to Harry Morris's," he explained. "What for?" "We're going for hickory nuts." "Oh, I wish I had some," said Stella. "I'll bring you some," he volunteered gallantly. She smiled again. "I wish you would."
This revival is more "innerly," as the Scotch say, more intimate, more "earnest" than the larger and more genial, if more superficial, restoration by Scott. The painful doubt, the scepticism of the Ages of Faith, the dark hours of that epoch, its fantasy, cruelty, luxury, no less than its colour and passion, inform Mr. Morris's first poems.
"I'll soon tell you a trivial thing like that," said Winter, affecting a close interest in the landscape. "I shouldn't be at all surprised if you did," said Furneaux.

As it chanced, a heavy gale was blowing that night, one of the furious winter storms which are common on this coast, and its worst gusts beat upon Stella so fiercely that she could scarcely stand, and was glad to accept the support of Morris's arm.
"Ou, just the man Morris's, that he said he lost yonder: but if it's no your honour's affair, as little is it mine; and I mauna lose this gracious evening." And, as if suddenly seized with a violent fit of industry, Andrew began to labour most diligently.
"I was aware that you would, in all probability, rebuke me for what I have done. I expected that. At the same time I may say that I was not spying in any sense of the word. I could not help it if the windows of my sitting-room looked down upon Mr. Morris's house. You could not expect me, in this summer weather, not to sit at my window.

They all agreed to this wise plan, and immediately made out a list of twelve girls, who, if they accepted the invitation, were to attend the first club meeting at Elsie Morris's house on the following Saturday. Every one did accept, and the club was formed, and the twelve members went to work with a will to make rules and plans. Patty was unanimously elected president.
