For his first weeks at school he kept very silent, absorbing its traditions and the unwritten laws made by the boys themselves, on the nice observance of which hung respect and popularity. The Grammar School of St. Renny was an old-fashioned affair even for those days, but it had a certain name in a quiet way.
How often had Ishmael counted these same clear callous eyes from sleeping St. Renny, but never with the answering gleam in his breast that he felt now he saw them over his own land. "So life is going to be good, after all," remarked the Parson abruptly. "Rather. It seems jolly good to-night, anyway.
"Oh, yes," said Pauline. She turned round almost cheerfully. A cloud seemed to vanish from her face. "I am so glad you have come, Renny," she said. "I see so little of you lately. Get up on the bed, won't you, and lie near me?" "Of course I love to be with you, but I thought " "Oh! don't think anything," said Pauline. "Just get on the bed and cuddle up close, close to me.
Sometimes we are lazy and lie on the grass all day. We do what we like always, and always just when we like. Don't we, Renny?" "Yes," said Verena. "We do what we like, and in our own way."

On this occasion it was supposed to be essential, and as Betty refused point-blank to stir from the kitchen, John had to come to the fore.

My poor Renny, what joy when he hears of his master's happiness, and all through the child of his beloved mistress!
