Soon afterwards, another form appeared, and Tom, peering anxiously, was sure that he recognized the man whom he expected to see -Bad Pete. What Tom heard came disjointedly -a few words here and there, but enough to set him thinking "at the rate of a mile a minute," as he told himself. Up the trail came the pair, after some minutes. Tom crouched flat behind his boulder. "Great!
Gibbs uttered an oath, "She was, was she? Well, who was th' man?" "There was no man," returned the other. "Young Matt and Pete were here for supper, but they went as soon as the meal was finished, before Sammy came." "Don't you try to lie to me!" exclaimed the big man, with another burst of language, and a threatening movement with the hand that rested on the pistol. Mr. Howitt was startled.
“Steady, Pete, old fellow, let us go slow; now tell me at what you’re driving?” I pleaded.
Just as the first great rain-drops began to fall on the old weather-beaten roof of the deserted house, they heard the rapid tramp of feet without. Pete uttered a horrified yell and sprang into the chimney, where he was trying to start a fire. Charles told him to refrain from his silly conduct and went to the door to see who their visitors were.
Pete talked of her till Phil's heart awoke and trembled; but Phil hardly knew it was so, and Pete never once suspected it. Neither confessed to the other, and the shifts of both to hide the secret of each were boyish and beautiful. There is a river famous for trout that rises in Sulby glen and flows into Ramsey harbour.

They built a fire, opened cans of soup and vegetables. "The Waldorf has nothing on that," Pete Murphy said when they stopped, gorged. "Say, remember to look for smokes, all of you," Ralph Addington admonished them suddenly. "You betchu!" groaned Honey Smith, and his look became lugubrious.
"John and Mary have gone to see some of the folks that she is looking after in the Flats," he said, slowly. "They'll be back any minute now, I should think." She did not know what to reply to this. There were so many things she wanted to know so many things that she felt she must know. But she felt herself forced to answer with the mere commonplace, "You are all well, I suppose, Uncle Pete?"
I followed eagerly and presently we had climbed through a thickly grown poplar grove and found a suitable hiding place among the small poplars. We had the wind right and a clear view of most of the open park. Big Pete stooped down and motioned for me to do likewise.
"We'll ask all the neighborhood and even some out of the neighborhood. We'll have the band up from Louisville and a caterer from there and do the thing up brown," chuckled Pete. "Maybe society will hold back when we ask them to come to old Dick Buck's granddaughter's ball," suggested one. "Don't tell 'em whose ball it is until they get there. That's the way to catch the snippy ones.
