Those big fellows will take me for the 'goat' somebody's 'goat'!" protested Stud helplessly, striving to direct attention from himself by training it upon a straggling group of distant youths, really too far off to take stock of what was going on among the merry picnic party. But Pemrose was taking stock of them.
Why! that's where you and I are going to stay stay for a week or two isn't it, father, en route for Greylock and the experiments. You know the Grosvenors have invited us and they have a wonderful old place up there. Una's mother is carrying coals these days " Pemrose winked "coals of penitence in her heart for ever having sneered at your invention, Daddy." "Hot ones, are they? Well!
Pemrose hardly heard, for as the party made its way to that stagnant pool, an overflow at some time of the sparkling Bowl, and hidden in a dense little wood, she had a sudden demonstration of how, under certain circumstances, a girl's heart is much more capsizable than a gnat's egg-boat.
As the cry, the reassuring cry, came ringing down to her, Pemrose felt the blood start again from where it was frozen at the back of her neck and surge through her flattened body, which, greenly spread-eagled against that gray rock, the head turned slightly aside, was not unlike the quaint Indian figure of the Thunder Bird upon a pedestal, the emblem of her father's invention.
"I'd rather explore the cave I love creepy caves and we haven't been half through it yet," said Pemrose Lorry. Forthwith Stud, the Henkyl Hunter, decided that cave-exploiting was the pastime for him; there was rarely a younger boy Studart was barely fifteen who did not become the captive knight of this older girl with the sky in her eyes under jet-black lashes!
Simultaneously there was a low, sullen roaring, the crack of doom, as condensed steam sucked in the heavy steel casing of the locomotive's boilers and shattered it like an eggshell. In Pemrose it shattered something too.
"Well! maybe I want-ed to make sure, for myself, that the rocket really had gone higher than anything earthly ever flew yet, before before I resigned a fortune to it." That was the moment when the nuggets all turned to rocks again for Pemrose. He saw the change in her face. "Oh!
But Tanpa's face had become suddenly fascinated illumined to rival the sunburst upon her breast. "'Pemrose!" She echoed the words softly, with transient glow. "How novel and pretty! But Lorry!
A girl any girl I ever knew is demure in her taste beside them," murmured the Camp Fire Guardian, with amused, motherly tolerance. "Pshaw! I think it's hor-rid. So flashy!" snapped Pemrose; Jack at a Pinch had made gorgeous his incivility and was parading it before her eyes. "Oh, boy! Look at that middle fellow.
Somehow, this eye the spying wind's eye haunted Pemrose that night, curled up in a previous suggestion of the Guardian's which, momentarily, had twisted itself, snake-like, around her heart. Suppose Ta-te should prove cruel to her, as to Jennie whom she had eventually spared!
