But it seemed as if he had hidden away from me; and the way was all dark and I was afraid and wretched and miserable." "Oh, chile," said Hagar, "de bressed Lord was waitin' an' ready to take ye up in his arms de berry minnit ye frowed yerself on his mercy!" "Yes," said Noll, "but I was not ready.
The library-door began to swing softly open, not so softly, however, but that Noll heard and stopped. "It's Ned," he said, looking over his shoulder. "Come in!" Ned came shyly around to where they were sitting, his usually merry face sobered by something which he perceived in the faces of his friends before him. A silence fell upon them here.
"Go where you will." Noll took his departure, more confident than ever that under Uncle Richard's coldness and seeming indifference there lurked love and regard for himself, and, true to his word, gave up all idea of ascending the cliff. As for Trafford, though outwardly stern and cold as ever, his heart went out to the boy more yearningly after that.
"We'll walk through," he whispered. "I don't believe we will run into any of the datto's men hereabouts. If we do, leave it to me to do the first talking." "Jersey hog-Latin?" queried Noll, with a grin. "Of course; Spanish or English would be fatal to fellows who look the part that we're rigged up to play." Hal walked on, steadily, though with caution.
"I thought that that perhaps you would help a little, too, you can do so much more than I," said Noll. Trafford shook his head, gloomily. "No," he said; "I can give you nothing but money. I have no heart for the work. And now I think of it, you've had no allowance since you came here, Noll. I had not thought of it before. Brother Noll and I always had spending-money."
"Would you like to take the fever and be buried with the rest up there in the sand?" he asked. Noll shivered a little, and answered, "No, I don't want to die, Uncle Richard. But I think I ought to help them all I can, over there, for all that. And it's such a little such a very little that I can do! Oh!
Jane yelped as I murdered an incipient kiss by knocking the jug out of his hand across the kitchen, but in kicking him out of doors I tripped over a bucket of water, and about half a score fine dace flopped miserably on the wet floor. "Dunna carry on a' that'n, Master Noll," said Joe. "I only com' up t'ouse to bring you them daceys." "And what the devil do I want with them?" said I angrily.
He was a rough, blunt-spoken man, but was evidently "good at his trade," as Ben had said, and did not despair of making the Culm huts decent and habitable; and after a long talk with him, Noll started for home, as the afternoon was fast giving way to a gray and lowery night.
Trafford evinced no surprise, much to Noll's wonder, and merely asked, "Where do you find the time?" "After recitations," replied the nephew; and that was all that was said about the matter. Trafford went out and sat down on the little wharf, and Noll lingered in the doorway of his schoolroom, thinking that he had never seen Uncle Richard act more strangely.
"Which they do by this: what else would bring the steel caps, and the Devil himself amongst us? besides, there's others off the coast, as well as we. Do you think old red-nosed Noll would come here about a drop of blood a little murder, that could be settled at the 'sizes?
