He had reached the extreme confine of the pine wood, when, across the sands that stretched unbroken to the lips of the sea, a figure advanced towards him. "Renny!" called Sir Adrian. "Your honour!" cried the man, breaking into a run to meet him. O God! how ghostly white looked the master's face in the moon-flood! "My Lady ?" "Not worse; yet not better and that means worse now.
Luckily for him it grew dusk, but not dark, before he could be certain by which gorge Renny himself was coming in. When he had made sure of this he took all three wickets off their hinges, and sent six men to carry them home to High March. With the rest he waited for Renny. Finally he saw him riding up the stepped way, and, as his custom was, far ahead of his troop.
She was a very bright and pretty-looking girl, but her face sometimes wore too old a look for her age. Her aunt looked at her now with a mingling of affection and compassion. "Come," she said, "sit on this sofa, darling. We can understand each other better when we are close together. You know how much I love you, Renny." "There never, never was a better aunt," said the girl. "I am not that.
"Come in, Miss Renny, come in," said nurse. "I am not going to stay, nurse. Ah, Marjorie, my pet! Come and give me a sweet kiss." The little baby sister toddled across the floor. Verena lifted her in her arms and kissed her affectionately. "I thought perhaps Miss Pauline was here, nurse. Do you happen to know where she is?"
To one of them I have nearly committed myself, which fact, to a man of my temperament, inclines me somewhat to the other. Here I am anxious to confide in you, and yet I feel that I risk a fight every time I talk about the complication. You have no sympathy for me, Renny, when I need sympathy; while I am bubbling over with sympathy for you, and you won't have it.
Why should Paulie, what is the naughtiest of girls, have all the fun? I don't mind Renny being there so much. And why should I, what is the very best of girls, be kept stuck here with only nursey and you childrens to bother me? I am going. I'm 'termined." She marched away. Patty came up. "Patty," said Briar, "I've done it." "What?" asked Patty. "I've told a lie about it.
She's squatting up close to Renny on the lawn, and her arm is twisted round Pauline's waist. She's big, and dressed awful grand. She has gold bangles on her arms, and tinkling gold things round her neck, and she's here, and I thought course you ought for to know. I thought so 'cos I love you. Aren't you pleased? Aren't I the sort of little girl you could perhaps give a lollypop to?"
Tim, you go to that end; and, Doolin, come with me." "The Fenian army, by all the gods!" whispered Yates, groping for his clothes. "Renny, give me that revolver, and I'll show you more fun than a funeral." "No, no. They're at least three to our one. We're in a trap here, and helpless." "Oh, just let me jump out among 'em and begin the fireworks. Those I didn't shoot would die of fright.
Killigrew's voice sounded younger in its enthusiasm, more as it had in the old days when he used to speak of Turner. "I'll bet you're going to be as great as any," cried Ishmael, the old sense of potencies that Killigrew's bounding vitality had always stirred in him awaking again. "How we all used to talk at St. Renny about what we'd do ... d'you remember?" "Rather.
Yates stood for a moment regarding the dejected attitude of his friend. "Hello, old man!" he cried, "you have the most 'hark-from-the-tombs' appearance I ever saw. What's the matter?" Renmark looked up. "Oh, it's you, is it?" "Of course it's I. Been expecting anybody else?" "No. I have been waiting for you, and thinking of a variety of things." "You look it. Well, Renny, congratulate me, my boy.
