Hester had hardly set Stella right side upward when the door opened once more and Mrs. Gresley entered, hot and exhausted. "Run up-stairs, my pets," she said. "Hester, you should not keep them down here now. It is past their tea-time." "We came ourselves, mother," said Regie. "Fruälein said we might, to show Auntie Hester our secrets."
They clasped each other tightly. The doctor winced to watch her hands. "It's all right, Auntie Hester," said Regie. "I love you just the same, and you must not cry any more." For Hester's tears were falling at last, quenching the wild fire in her eyes. "My little treasure, my little mouse," she said, over and over again, kissing his face and hands and little brown overcoat.
"Who that uses this part of the deck would be apt to insult his palate with such a cigarette? No one of us hardly any one of the officers or stewards." "Some deck-hand might have sneaked aft for a look-see, expecting to find the quarterdeck deserted at this hour." "Even ordinary seamen avoid, when they can, what the Régie sells under the name of tobacco.
'I did not mean to do that, Regie; but you all say that poor Mary was fond of this man and helped him. 'That she did! said Lord Rotherwood, 'and very much against the grain it went with Maurice.
"The tail is still on," she whispered, not too cheerfully, but as one who in darkness sees light beyond. The cow's tail was painted in blue upon its side. "When I bought it," said Regie, in a strangled voice, "and it was a great-deal-of-money cow, I did wish its tail had been out behind; but I think now it is safer like that." "All the best cows have their tails on the side," said Hester.
Gresley was not well enough to be told, and for many days Mr. Gresley and Hester and Doctor Brown held Regie forcibly back from the valley of the shadow, where, since the first cradle was rocked, the soft feet of children have cleft so sharp an entrance over the mother-hearts that vainly barred the way. Mr. Gresley's face grew as thin as Hester's as the days went by.
The northern territories acquired in 1913 will give a much greater impetus to economic progress than Thessaly gave a generation ago; for the Macedonian littoral west as well as east of the Struma produces a considerable proportion of the Turkish Régie tobacco, while the pine-forests of Pindus, if judiciously exploited, will go far to remedy the present deficiency of home-grown timber, even if they do not provide quantities sufficient for export abroad.
'You are certainly grown older, Regie. You never would have thought of that once. 'No more would you, Lily so do yourself justice.
He told us about the trouble here. He said the little chap Regie was going on like a house on fire. The Bishop told me to ask after him particularly." "He is wonderfully better every day," said Mr. Gresley, softening. "How kind of the Bishop to send you to inquire. Not having children himself, I should never have thought " "No," said Dick, "you wouldn't.
It will be perfectly en regie for you to hang or shoot Don Valerian Miranda and, if you like, the doctor, too after ten minutes' deliberation over a drum's head. I'm ready to organise the court according to your directions." To this proposal Uraga replies with a significant smile, saying: "Your idea is not a bad one; but I chance to have a better.
