I have the wild rosehip, and the flat shield of the moonwort, and a pea-pod, and more whose names I know not. But should they all be seed and fruit?" "Yea, truly, my Stina, for this wreath shall speak of the goodly fruits of a completed life." "Even as that which you carved in spring told of the blossom and fair promise of youth," returned the maiden.
He had no eyes for the splendor that overhung him. Ten long, watery miles must be traversed before he could beach his pea-pod in the little haven behind Eastern Head. Would his arms stand the strain? His muscles were harder and stronger than they had been in the middle of June. Likewise, his grit had strengthened with his physique. "I'll make Head Harbor before light, if it kills me!"
"How is everything, Susan?" called out Captain Seth; "'bout time for Eph to be gitt'n' in?" "Yes," she answered, nodding and smiling, and pointing with a pea-pod; "that's our boat, just coming up to the wharf, with her peak down."
On board the Barracouta Lane and Stevens, standing side by side, faced Jim and brought their palms to their foreheads. "Attention!" ordered Lane. "Spurling & Company! Salute!" Jim returned the compliment with a sweep of his hand. He threw on the switch and rocked the wheel; the engine started click-click-click.... Gathering headway, the Barracouta nosed south, dory and pea-pod trailing behind her.
At last he gave up the search in disgust, and started back for camp by the shortest route. As he emerged into the cool breeze on the summit of the high southern shore he saw that the Calista still lay at anchor in the cove. Lane was alongside her in the pea-pod, while Jim and Throppy were rounding Brimstone Point in the Barracouta, with the dory in tow.
Pea-pod boats, with rose-leaf sails, received these flower-people, and floated them about a placid pool in the most charming style; for finding that there were no elves, Daisy made her own, and loved the fanciful little friends who played their parts in her summer-life. Nan went in for herbs, and had a fine display of useful plants, which she tended with steadily increasing interest and care.
The program announced had taken him somewhat aback. He hardly knew what to reply. Pushing the pea-pod off, he turned her toward the channel. "You livea 'cross dis island ... yes?" shouted the man after him. "We come see you to-night!" Budge made no response to this advance. Steady, rapid pulling soon brought the boys again into open water. "Well, what do you think now?" asked Percy.
Besides, he must go back and get to work; the young master, who was busily going from cart to cart, ordering meat, had called to him. They hung together like the halves of a pea-pod when it was a question of keeping the apprentices on the curb, although otherwise they were jealous enough of one another.
But his tones lacked conviction. It might not clear for two or three days. By degrees his strokes lost their force, until the oars were barely dipping. The boat was going astern fast. Two o'clock. Long ere this Jim and Budge must have returned from trawling and realized that the pea-pod and its occupants were lost.
I can't tell you, though, how glad we are to see you back, even if it did cost next to our last shell of birdshot. The Gulf of Maine's a pretty homesick place to be kicking round in on a foggy night." "You aren't any gladder than we are," replied Percy. He glanced at the pea-pod towing astern. "But say, Jim! Just cast your eye over that tub.
