"Don' know," shaking her turbaned head. "Ef 'twas rheumatiz, or ef 'twas a cut, or ef 'twas one o' dem yer colds, Hagar'd 'spect to know; but can't tell nuffin 'bout fevers, nohow. 'Tw'u'd be jes' as de Lord's willin'!" "Will you go, or send something in the morning?" queried Noll. "Ef it's pleasant, honey, Hagar'll go wid ye. Yer supper's waiting fur ye!" Noll sighed, and did not stir.
Noll, in the midst of happy talk, suddenly recollected that it was after sundown, and that Uncle Richard and the tea-table would be waiting. "Come, Ned," he said, gleefully, "I'd forgotten all about sunset and home till this minute. It's a good long walk, and we must start." "I'm ready," said Ned, jumping up. "Skipper, where's my carpet-bag?
Its gleam showed that he was now growing old; his visage was scarred with the many battles in which he had led the van; his brow was wrinkled with care, and with the continual exercise of stern authority. Probably there was not a single trait, either of aspect or manner, that belonged to the little Noll, who had battled so stoutly with Prince Charles. Yet this was he!
Hal flew back to the advance guard. "Fine!" glowed Captain Freeman, when he had heard the report. The advance was quickly in motion. Captain Freeman was soon up with Noll, who, after whispering, led the advance to the point he had mentioned to his chum. Hal, in the meantime, remained to receive and pilot Lieutenant Prescott's command.
"I will not, Noll," Trafford said. So it was all settled, at last, and Noll's heart in spite of Uncle Richard's gloominess was light and glad. He would stay and see if the man's sorrow and wretchedness could not be driven away, he thought; perhaps who could tell? he would lose his sternness, and become kind and regardful, and follow in the path which papa had trod.
Colonel Cleaves then turned to the group of officers that had just arrived, saying: "Lieutenant Terry, you were kind enough to offer to loan me a book on rifle range construction. I am aware that you have not yet had a chance to send it over to me, but as I was passing, I decided to drop in and ask it from you." "In an instant, sir," replied Noll Terry.
It was Jack, dear old Jack, nothing but the shadow of himself, but still Jack right enough, and his hand was in mine. "Run, Kit!" he cried. "Get some wine! The lad's overcome. God bless you, old Noll, how are you?" Kate ran off into the parlour, where our wine was stored. "Jack!" "Hello, Noll!" "I thought I'd killed you." "Was it you?" he asked, all amazed at my self-accusation.
He thought he had never looked upon so grand a sight as the sea presented here, all its vast waste lashed into great waves that came roaring in like white-maned monsters to dash themselves upon the laud. Standing here, close by Dirk Sharp's door, Noll suddenly fancied he heard a faint wail within.
"To be sure, Uncle Richard! I'm going to stay with you," replied Noll, without any shadow of regret in his eyes. "Ah, boy, I fear you will rue it," said his uncle, shaking his head mournfully; "remember, whatever befalls, that I did not bid you stay, it was at your own risk." "Why, what do you mean?" Noll asked, with a puzzled face, "what is to befall me, Uncle Richard?"
There was evidently not a school of any kind upon Culm Rock, and of course Uncle Richard was the only person capable of teaching him anything. "I wonder if he will offer to teach me?" Noll thought in perplexity, "or shall I have to ask him? I can't do that! he's so cold and stern; and besides, I don't believe he would like the trouble. I wonder if I am to grow up like those dull Culm people?"
