"Who's gone, girl; speak!" "Miss Bella, sir; oh sir, run away, sir, with Mr Stuart!" Colonel Crusty turned pale, and Miss Peppy fell flat down on the rug in a dead faint, crushing Rosebud almost to death in her fall. Instantly the entire house was in confusion.
"What now, ma'am," inquired Mrs Niven, as Miss Peppy again paused and grew pale. "The key!" "Of the press?" inquired Niven. "Yes no; that is, it's the key of the press, and not the key of my trunk. My trunk won't open without, at least I suppose it won't, and it's a new lock! what shall "
Bucephalus and I chanced to be near the spot at the time, so we managed to pull him out between us." "I don't like Bucephalus," observed Miss Peppy, stirring her tea with her egg-spoon by mistake. "Don't you, aunt why?" "Because he's so big and strong and fierce. I wonder you can take pleasure in riding such a great cart-horse, Kennie."
During dinner Miss Peppy reminded Kenneth that he had promised to go to the Sailors' Home that evening with the parcel which Mrs Gaff wished to be delivered to her cousin George Dollins.
"There's three of them for my brother's dinner I forgot to tell cook it'll put him out so there's three of 'em. It's not the the two but the the other one, the what-d'ye-call-it pie." Miss Peppy fell back on her seat, and gave it up with a groan. Suddenly she sprang up, and thrust out her head "The deer pie," she yelled. "The dear pie!" echoed the astonished Mrs Niven interrogatively.
Miss Peppy alone did not participate in the wild search. That worthy lady lay in a state of insensibility for about five minutes, then she suddenly recovered and arose to a sitting posture, in which position she remained for a few minutes more, and became aware of the fact that her cap was inside the fender, and that her hair was dishevelled.
An alert, peppy, gray-haired man sprang up to greet me, his eyes, the eyes of youth, his step firm and sprightly, his handclasp steady and strong. And yet he was 71 years old! "Do you really feel younger?" +Twenty-five Years Younger.+ Chancellor Tobias threw out his chest, squared his shoulders, and smiled. "I feel twenty-five years younger.
The engine gave a sudden snort, as if to say, "You'd better, else I'm off without you." "Now aunt," said Kenneth, "come along." In another moment Miss Peppy was seated in a carriage, with her head out of the window, talking earnestly and rapidly to Mrs Niven. It seemed as if she had reserved all the household directions which she had to give to that last inopportune moment!
"No, colonel, I was not aware of it," said Miss Peppy with a slight elevation of her eyebrows; "I wonder at it, for although he often goes out all night to ride wild horses into the sea, and save drowned people, and things of that sort, he never goes out without telling Niven, and saying whether or not he's likely to be back soon.
"Couldn't it all be done with a little less noise," said Miss Peppy to Kenneth, "it seems to me so aw oh! look! surely that old gentleman has gone mad!"
