"But," said Raybold, in explaining the delay, "Corona is very different from me. In my actions 'the thunder's roar doth crowd upon the lightning's heels, as William has told us." "Where in Shakespeare is that?" asked Mrs. Archibald. Mr. Raybold bent his brow. "For the nonce," said he, "I do not recall the exact position of the lines." And after that he made no more Avonian quotations to Mrs.
And then turning, he looked up the lake, and not far from the water's edge he saw Margery walking with Mr. Clyde, while Mr. Raybold followed a little in the rear. "Harriet," he cried, quickly stepping into the cabin again, "look out here! What is the meaning of this?" Mrs. Archibald was dressed, and came out. When she saw the trio approaching them, she was not so much surprised as was her husband.
He had left Arthur Raybold asleep at Camp Roy, but of the ladies and gentleman who were usually visible at the breakfast-hour at Camp Rob he saw no signs, and he approached Mrs. Perkenpine to inquire for Clyde. At his question the sturdy woman turned and smiled. It was a queer smile, reminding the bishop of the opening and shutting of a farm gate. "He's a one-er," said she.
"Is it them two sittin' over there?" she said, pointing to Margery and Clyde. "Are they on a honey-moon?" "No!" exclaimed Arthur Raybold, in a loud, sharp voice. "What an absurdity! Corona, what are you talking about?" To this his sister paid no attention whatever. "I think," she said, "it was a noble thing to do.
During one of these periods of observation she perceived Corona Raybold approaching. "Good-morning," said the elder lady. "Is this your first appearance?" "Yes," said Corona, with a gentle smile.
"It may be," he said, with a smile, "that they discovered that their natures demanded hotel beds instead of camp cots, and that they immediately departed in obedience to the mandates of their individualities." "But in so doing," said Miss Raybold, "they violated the principles of association. Our scheme included mutual confidence as well as self-investigation and assertion. I must admit that Mr.
"How is this?" she exclaimed. "Wasn't the fishing good?" "I have had a disagreeable experience," he said, "and I will tell you about it. I was fishing in a little cove some distance down the lake and having good sport, when I heard a thumping, and looking around I saw Raybold in a boat rowing towards me.
Clyde, who had not reached the end of the lake, now turned and determined to follow the tactics of the other boat and keep close to the shore, but on the side nearest to the camp. This exasperated Raybold. "What are you trying to do?" he said. "If you keep in the middle we may get near them, and why should we be on one side of the lake and they on the other?"
There was a dreadful storm when Raybold and Clyde came to the table; but Mrs. Perkenpine remained hard and immovable through it all. "Your sister and that tramp has been here," said she, "and this is all there is left. If you keep your hogs in your house, you can't expect to count on your victuals." Some more coffee was made, and that, with bread, composed the young men's supper.
Martin heaved a sigh of disappointment, and proceeded to unfasten the hammock from the trees to which it had been tied. For a moment Raybold looked as if he were about to interfere, but there was something in the feverish agility of the young guide which made his close proximity as undesirable as that of a package of dynamite. Margery turned to leave the place, but suddenly stopped.
