Halloway bent and kissed Olly's flushed face. "Do you hear, my boy? It is all right now, and there is Maggie calling you to swing her. Don't forget you promised to make me a visit at the rectory to-morrow." Olly threw his arms around Denham's knees and gave him a convulsive hug. "I like you though you are a minister," he said, through his tears. "I just wish you were my sister!"
Olly's immaculate shirt-bosom was in the habit of bristling with diamonds, in the midst of which, like a headlight at the mizzen-top, coruscated a diamond cluster pin. Marie was not jealous without a cause. Of this, every lady who has read thus far is morally convinced.
"Would you have thrown Olly's marbles into the lake?" "No," replied Halloway, looking steadily back at her. "Then you would have been very foolish," said Gerald, haughtily. "It was the only way to touch him. I was quite right to do it." "You should be the best judge of your actions, Miss Vernor." Gerald bowed without answer, and moved past him like an offended duchess.
Why, a heap of red and white roses lying on the breakfast table, a big heap, with odd corners and points sticking up all over it, and under the roses a white napkin, and under the napkin treasures of all sorts a book from father, a little work-box from mother, with a picture of Windermere on the outside, and inside the most delightful cottons and needles and bits of bright-coloured stuffs; a china doll's dinner-service from Aunt Emma, a mug from nurse, a little dish full of big red strawberries from gardener, and last, but not least, Olly's present a black paint-box, with colours and brushes and all complete, and tied up with a little drawing-book which mother had added to make it really useful.
"Ah," said Phebe, softly, "just wait. You don't either of you know each other yet!" Gerald's and Olly's visit was quite an event in the quiet Lane household.
