At which "Friddy," who had suddenly resolved herself into the youthfulest of schoolgirls in the presence of her brother, put her parasol like an Indian club behind her back, and still rosy, beamed admiringly upon Reggy.
He only permitted one shake apiece, foiling all Clifford's rebellious attempts to dodge around him and embrace Gethryn. But Rex was lying back by this time, tired out, and he was glad when Braith closed the studio door. It flew open the next minute and an envelope came spinning across to Rex. "Letter in your box, Reggy good-bye, old chap!" said Clifford's voice.
They tell me they sailed for the North Pole this morning, but fell in with a pirate close under the land, so 'bout ship and came ashore again." "A pirate, Mr. Dodd? Oh, I see, a beggar a tramp." "A deal worse than that, Miss Lucy. Now, youngster, why don't you spin your own yarn?" "Yes, tell me, Reggy."
Although Harry and Reggy were merry fellows, it was generally acknowledged that they were not equal to Paul. "I trust we shall have him back soon," said his mother, after he had been gone some time; "although I wish that tidings of him had reached us." Reggy had by this time learned to make himself almost as useful as Harry.
Harry and Reggy undertook to make some fresh dampers, Paul to attend to the camp oven, while Hector was set to turn the spits. The rest of the party were clearing the ground round the fire, bringing water, looking after the horses, and putting up some slabs of bark to serve as a shelter for the night. All hands were "as busy as bees," as Harry remarked.
Hurrying along, they at last came in sight of Reggy, who was at the very edge of the scrub. "Have you seen anything of them?" asked Mary. "Nothing: nor of Mr Hayward either," was the unsatisfactory answer. Poor Mary's heart sank. She dearly loved little Effie, and his sisters in their way were very fond of Albert; besides, they believed that it would be the death of their mother if he were lost.
"They're after you already," said Pinckney, "only yesterday I heard young Reggy Calhoun saying " "I know," said Miss Pinckney, "and I want no more of your impudence. Now take yourself off if you've finished your breakfast, for Phyl and I have work to do." He got up and went off laughing by way of the piazza and they could hear his cheery voice in the garden talking to the old negro gardener.
"By-the-bye, we may find a 'possum, and he may serve us for supper." "But how can we get a fire to cook him?" inquired Reggy with a slight suspicion that Harry was quizzing his brother. "Oh, as to that, we must eat him raw; but many a sailor, wrecked on a desert island, has had to live on worse fare," said Harry. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I wish we had never come out to this horrible country.
There was a new light in her eyes, a fresher color in her cheeks as she turned her face she knew not why away from him. But it enabled her to see a figure approaching them from the fort. And I grieve to say that, perhaps for the first time in her life, Lady Elfrida was guilty of an affected start. "Oh, here's Reggy coming to look for me. I'd quite forgotten, but I'm so glad.
"It's the Salon," said Braith, as Gethryn went out with a hasty "Good night." "Poor Reggy, how hard he takes it!" sighed Clifford. Gethryn hurried along the familiar streets with his heart in his boots sometimes, and sometimes in his mouth. In his box was a letter and a note addressed in pencil.
