But with dark coming along, and home some miles away, it's plain that we'll have to let the mending of that wing go till morning." "But do you think, Frank, it's just safe to leave our pet hydroplane over night in this field on the Quackenboss farm?" "Why not, Andy? Sky as clear as a bell; little or no wind promised; and then we can hire the farm hand, Felix Boggs, to keep an eye on it.
"I have the honour of presenting you to my sister," said the doctor, with suavity. "Flora, the Irish domestics of this young lady call her name Miss Ring-again if she will let us know how it ought to be called, we shall be happy to be informed." Dr. Quackenboss was made happy. "Miss Ringgan and this young gentleman is young Mr.
Quackenboss arrived punctually the next morning with his oxen and sled; and by the time it was loaded with the sap-troughs, Fleda in her black cloak, yarn shawl, and grey little hood came out of the house to the wood-yard. Earl Douglass was there too, not with his team, but merely to see how matters stood and give advice. "Good day, Mr. Douglass!" said the doctor.
"But still I am not answered," said Charlton, when they were grave again. "What has Fleda done to put such a libel upon mankind?" "You should call it a label, as Dr. Quackenboss does," said Fleda, in a fresh burst; "he says he never would stand being labelled!"
Accordingly they shook hands with Farmer Quackenboss, his good wife, and Felix, in the palm of which latter Andy made sure to leave a greenback that made the boy grin broadly.
"This is quite a fortuitous occurrence," the doctor went on. "I have often had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Rossitur's family in church in the little church at Queechy Run and that enabled me to recognise your cousin, as soon as I saw him in the wagon.

"I was down to his house one day last summer to see him. He wa'n't to hum, though." "It would be strange if harm come to a man with such a guardian angel in the house as that man has in his'n." said Dr. Quackenboss. "Well she's a pretty creetur!" said Douglass, looking up with some animation. "I wouldn't blame any man that sot a good deal by her.
" 'He that believeth on Him shall not be ashamed; 'shall not be ashamed! " she repeated, slowly. Dr. Quackenboss looked at Fleda, who kept her eyes fixed upon her aunt. "But it seems to me I beg pardon; perhaps I am arrogant" he said, with a little bow; "but it appears to me almost in a manner almost presumptuous, not to be a little doubtful in such a matter until the time comes.
"Hard to pull a man's name to pieces before his face ha, ha! but I am a not one thing myself a kind of heterogynous I am a piece of a physician, and a little in the agricultural line also; so it's all fair." "The Irish treat my name as hardly, Dr. Quackenboss they call me nothing but Miss Ring-again."
It might have been a pleasant day in pleasant company; but Fleda's spirits were down to set out with, and Doctor Quackenboss was not the person to give them the needed spring; his long-winded complimentary speeches had not interest enough even to divert her.
