"My sister knows it," s he said, faintly. "Mrs. Lecount may have written to your sister," suggested the captain: "Do you think my sister would tell a stranger what no stranger has a right to know? Never! never!" "Is there nobody else who could tell Mrs. Lecount? The mark was mentioned in the handbills at York. Who put it there?" "Not Norah! Perhaps Mr. Pendril. Perhaps Miss Garth." "Then Mrs.
From a little behind, with his Sunday hat tilted forward over his brow and a cigar glowing between his lips, Captain Nares acknowledged our previous acquaintance with a succinct nod. Behind him again, in the top of the stairway, a knot of sailors, the new crew of the Norah Creina, stood polishing the wall with back and elbow. These I left without to their reflections.
"Oh, there it is!" she exclaimed, light flashing into her face. "Going to make a splendid hit. Just look at them rows." Norah threw an indifferent glance on the paper. "They're lucky, every one of them," said Pinky. "Going to put half a dollar on each row sure to make a hit." The queen gave one of her peculiar shrugs.
She did not lose her self-possession, however, and in another moment Charlotte was at her side, and Miss Virginia had recovered her power of speech. "I really came in search of Alex," Norah explained, a most engaging impostor surely, as she smiled upon the assembly. "Do you know my sister, Miss Pennington?" Miss Virginia's embarrassment was painfully evident. "I believe I once met Mrs.
It seems to me that Norah must have stayed a great deal with them at Hampstead, and yet she couldn't have; they were only two years in the little four-roomed house. Anyhow, we were all immensely happy in those two years; even I was happy. Jevons I know was and Viola. Viola had never been so happy in her life.
Mr Ferris intended, as soon as Lieutenant Foley had joined his ship, to return with his daughter to Dublin. This would be a great loss to Norah, as she was acquainted with but few other young ladies in the neighbourhood; indeed, from having been at school with Ellen, they were more like sisters than ordinary friends.
And on Sundays, if you are good, I may take you along the marvelous lake drives in my little red runabout, yes? Aber wunderbar, those drives are! So." Then "Milwaukee!" shrieked Max and Norah and I, together. "After New York Milwaukee!" "Laugh," said Von Gerhard, quite composedly. "I give you until to-morrow morning to stop laughing. At the end of that time it will not seem quite so amusing.
All day the man lay with only his puffing blue lips and the twitching of his scraggy neck to show that he still held the breath of life. Norah and Sergeant Macdonald had sat by him in the afternoon, but he had shown no consciousness of their presence. He lay peacefully, his eyes half closed, his hands under his cheek, as one who is very weary.
Then we roared laughing at each other. I certainly was a drowned rat, but Norah wasn't much better, as she'd slipped nearly into the hole herself, in pulling the pram off me. But when we'd laughed, the first thought was 'How are we going to dodge Mrs. Lister! It was a nasty problem!" "What did you do?" "Well, after consultation we got up near the house, planting the pram in some trees.
"Well, then, it's bed," said Jim, yawning prodigiously. "Norah, the men are going to drive in, with our playing togs, to-morrow; would you rather go in the buggy?" "I'd rather drive, thanks, Jim." "Thought so. Then hurry off to bed, for we're going to make an early start." Jim paused, looking up at the star-filled sky. "And I give you all warning, it's going to be a caution for heat!"
