Norah wanted details of the term just over, the sports, the prize-giving, and had to laugh over messages from those of Jim's boy friends whom she knew; and Jim had a hundred things to ask about home the cattle, the fishing, his horses, his dogs, "Brownie," and the prospects of fun ahead. They roared over her ducking and subsequent encounter with Cecil, and chaffed her unmercifully.
"The question is, if Cecil will condescend to play with you," Norah said. "He thinks ME too much of a kid to look at " "Oh, does he?" asked Jim resentfully. "But you're both ever so much bigger than he is, so perhaps he'll let you love him!" Norah finished. "I'm relieved to my soul," said Wally, with gravity.
Norman Foley, feeling sincere sympathy for Gerald, offered him all the consolation in his power; but still, knowing the savage character of the pirates, he could not help dreading what might have been the fate of Norah and the old captains.
"The mischief was beyond all present remedy, when I received the news of it. Whatever had happened, whatever might happen, I made up my mind to persist in my resolution of seeing Norah before I did anything else. I suspected you of being concerned in the disaster which had overtaken me because I felt positively certain at Aldborough that you and Mrs. Lecount had written to each other.
How many may we have?" "Two apiece, and no more," said Norah firmly. "'Tis blunting your appetite for supper if ye take more than two. Are they good, Twaddles?" Twaddles' mouth was too full for an answer, but his eyes spoke for him. Those cookies were simply delicious. "Bobby!" cried Meg from the window where she had wandered with her cakes.
An engagement took me away at an early hour, and when I rode up to my cottage at noon my eyes were greeted with the astonishing spectacle of my two boys hard at work laying the courses of the stone wall, assisted by Bridget and Norah, who were dragging stones from the hillsides, while comfortably stretched on the top of the wall lay my friend, the Tramp, quietly overseeing the operation with lazy and humorous comment.
She would put such thoughts out of her mind, indeed she would, and welcome Rose as she would have wanted Norah to have welcomed Bill, had the circumstances been reversed. It would be lovely to have the girl about she would be so much company, and the atmosphere of light-hearted youth which she would bring with her would be just what Billy needed.
"And I'll speak to Dad about your riding him, if you like another time." "Another time? Then what's the matter with my riding him now? I suppose," said Cecil with a sneer, "you want to show off in Cunjee." Norah stared at him blankly for a moment. Rudeness had been always so far from her that she did not for a moment comprehend that this boy was being deliberately rude.
"When I was a little kiddie," Norah said, "they found me playing with a snake one day." "Playing with it?" Harry echoed. "Yes; I was only about two, and I don't remember anything about it. Dad came on to the back verandah, and saw me sitting by a patch of dust, stroking something. He couldn't make out what it was at first, and then he came a bit nearer, and saw that it was a big snake.
"'I despise it, Denny, she says, half cryin'. 'Mother and Uncle Tim went to see the shows, but I came down here to think of you. I couldn't bear the lights and the crowd. Are you forgivin' me, Denny, for the words we had? "''Twas me fault, says I. 'I came here for the same reason meself. Look at the lights, Norah, I says, turning my back to the sea 'ain't they pretty?
