"In other words " began Mr. Devlin. "In other words," added Mrs. Falchion, "I am going to see the valley and hear your great horn blow from up there!" She pointed towards the star in front of Phil's hut. "All right," said Mr. Devlin; "but you will excuse me if I say that I don't particularly want anybody to see this performance from where Tom Bowling bides."
But they outclassed Madge and Phil. Harry Sears and George Robinson swept past and came up to the stake. Flora and Alice were second. Tom and Alfred, the two Simrall brothers, pulled past Madge and Phil. They had fulfilled Phil's prediction and brought up the rear. Professor Gordon, who, as umpire, had been following the race, was worried. Of course, he had seen the foul made by Alice and Flora.
The deep tones echoing through the hall sent Lloyd bouncing up from her couch, her hair falling over her shoulders and her long kimono tripping her at every step, as she ran into Joyce's room. "What are we going to do?" she cried in dismay. "I ovahslept myself, and now it's foah o'clock, and Phil's train due in nine minutes. The carriage is at the doah and none of us dressed to go to meet him.

Take my word, if he wants Marjie he kin have her; and likewise take it, he does want her." "An' then," Grandpa spoke with mock persuasion, "Amos, ye know ye've been married oncet. An' ye're not so young an' ye're a leetle bald. D'ye just notice Phil's hair, layin' in soft thick waves? Allers curled that way sence he was a little feller." Amos Judson went into an explosive combustion.
What respectable man will come here, and marry open- eyed into a family of vagabonds? 'Nonsense, mother! said Sally vehemently, while her face flushed. 'Charley isn't the man to desert me. But if he should be, and won't marry me because Phil's come, let him go and marry elsewhere.
"But the time must have seemed long in the dark and all by yourselves." "Oh, we didn't mind being by ourselves, not a bit, and we never quarrelled once. But, ma fé, yes, it was dark, and so still. I could hear Phil's heart beat when I couldn't see him." "You both look as if you had been seeing ghosts. Is it that your arm is paining you, Phil, mon gars?" "Hardly at all. Carette saw to it."

Phil went about his work looking as none of them had ever seen him look before. Mrs. Phil's tears fell thick and fast. Not understanding the mystery, she could blame nobody but Grif, and Grif she could not forgive. To Mollie the house seemed like a grave. She could think of nothing but Dolly, Dolly, white and worn and altered, lying upon her couch, her eyes closed, her breath fluttering faintly.
There is Father Roche as for poor Mary O'Regan, in consequence of her insanity, she unfortunately can be of no use and one of the blood-hounds are against the two others. Now, two to two, is surely strong evidence in his favor." She did not, however, make the slightest allusion to the grounds on which she actually did rest her hope that is to say, on Phil's influence over his father.
"Welly well," murmured Phil. Then he put out his two arms towards Griselda, all without opening his eyes, and she, bending down, kissed him softly. "Phil's so sleepy," he whispered, like a baby almost. Then he turned over and went to sleep more soundly than before. "That'll do," said the cuckoo. "Come along, Griselda."
