It was remarkable, however, that with all that was new and beautiful about her, Randy seemed as much at ease as if always accustomed to her present surroundings.
"I will not. I shall probably put on my old white if I dress for dinner." "Of course you'll dress," said Mrs. Beaufort; "there are certain things which we must always demand of ourselves " Caroline Paine agreed. "That's what I tell Randy when he says he doesn't want to finish his law course. His father was a lawyer and his grandfather. He owes it to them to live up to their standards."
"Father says, 'Tell Miss Nina that I am anxious to see my daughter's dear friend of whom she writes such pleasant things. Even Aunt Prudence says, 'I think I shall approve of Miss Irwin, and little Prue says, 'Tell the Nina girl I want her to come!" "There was never a sweeter invitation, Randy Weston. Of course I'll come," said Nina, "I wouldn't miss it for the world. Just a farm-house!
The reason I think so is because the tools have all been taken away." Ned's supposition was probably correct. At all events the boys did not scruple to make a blazing fire in the stove, and very pleasant the warmth felt after their long tussle with the storm. Ned was soaked through and through in spite of his rubber coat, but Randy was only wet to the middle.
"All right," he shouted hoarsely. Ned turned and waved his hand to Randy and Nugget. They understood the signal, and instantly began to haul on the line. The Pioneer moved slowly toward shore, and the next instant the strain reached Clay.
The wind had veered a slight degree, and without knowing it Randy was now paddling straight for a bushy point of land that jutted out from the left shore exactly where the channel made its abrupt bend. Just below this little promontory, and in midstream, was anchored a long, squarely built flatboat. It had three occupants.
"A beautiful child," the Major remarked from the shadow of the back seat. "She's more than beautiful," said Randy, glowing, "oh, you wait till you really know her, Major." The Schoolhouse at King's Crest had been built years before by one of the Paines for two sons and their tutor.
He made up his mind suddenly and approached young Paine. "We can take one of you in here. You'll be crowded with all of those bags." "Not a bit. We'll manage perfectly, thank you," Randy's voice dismissed him. He went, with a lingering glance backward. Becky, catching that glance, waked suddenly to the fact that he was very good-looking. "It was kind of him to offer, Randy." "Was it?"
Kemp, with a black rubber cape buttoned about his shoulders and standing out over his load like a lady's hoopskirts, bobbed down the path and was gone. Randy was glad to be alone. He was glad to get wet, he was glad of the roar and of the tumult which matched the tumult in his soul. Somehow he had never dreamed of this that somebody would come into Becky's life and take her away
The horse sneezed violently, as if in derision, and Randy laughed gaily at having her plainly expressed opinion of herself so forcibly confirmed.
