Her features were almost painfully regular, her complexion dazzlingly brilliant, while her large blue eyes had in them a dreamy, languid expression exceedingly attractive to those who looked for nothing beyond no inner chamber where dwell the graces which make a woman what she ought to be. Louis' artist eye, undeveloped though it was, acknowledged the rare loveliness of Nellie's face.
I must have time to think. It has come upon me so suddenly, so unexpectedly, for I have always thought of you as Nellie's future husband, and my manners are so different from what you profess to admire."
Stand back of me, out of gun-shot, alone, if you like, as my deputy, or with any number you can pick up as my posse. If he gets by me as Nellie's lover, you may shoot him or take him as a horse thief, if you like." "Then you won't shoot him on sight?" "Not till I've had a word with him." "But" "I've chirped," said the sheriff gravely. "Drive on."
Well, I declare, we did land on a friendly shore." Just as Mr. Bingham said, the life-saving work turned out to be a social affair, for there was a great time greeting Nellie's father and Hal's uncle. "Wasn't it perfectly splendid that Nellie and her mother were here!" declared Dorothy. "And Hal and his father, too," put in Nan. "It is just like a story in a book."
I hate the job, but I've got to do it. I'm the only constable in the place, and I've got to do my duty." At these words a startled look came into Nellie's face. She took a step forward and looked keenly into the man's eyes. "What do you mean?" she demanded. "I know you're a constable, but what do you want of my father? Oh, please tell me, quick!" "Now don't get excited, Miss," Mr.
As they were about to step to dry land Nellie's foot slipped on a round stone, making a loud splash. At the same time the girl gave a faint cry. "My ankle it's twisted!" "Quick! let me carry you!" returned Dick, and, seeing the ankle must pain her not a little, he picked her up in his arms and dove in among the trees.
I peddle writing paper, pens, pins, needles and notions," he added, motioning to his pack. "I often stop at Nellie's house, and at her aunt's, too. They're my regular customers," he added, proudly, and with a proper regard for his humble calling. "I'm doing pretty well, too," he went on. "I've got a good trade, and I'm thinking of adding to it.
The mystery of Nellie's disappearance was thus satisfactorily solved. She had fallen into an old rabbit-burrow. The harmless little creatures, whom she had imagined to be making desperate assaults on her legs and about to eat her up, too, were probably even more frightened than she was! "Oh oh, that's one of those ferocious wild animals, little missy, eh?" chuckled the Captain.
"Where from, sir?" inquired the man, reaching out his hand for Bob and Nellie's tickets. "Far up the line, sir?" "No, only from Guildford," replied the Captain. "That's only half-way from London; but there's half-a-sovereign, and you may keep the change for yourself." "Thank you, sir," said the collector, touching his cap again and taking the coin.
Keineth could shut from her eyes Aunt Nellie's pity, but she could not shut from her mind the flood of thoughts that came. Cruel thoughts, too, which her persistent "I don't believe it" failed to drive away! She had seen a picture once of a sinking ship; a great wave of water had engulfed it, men were clinging to its side like flies! She remembered it now!
