During the Easter holidays in April, 1888, a cricket match, Country v. Town, was held at Vindex Station. At any rate, this was the name under which invitations were given by the Rileys, Chirnsides, Ramsays and Bostocks to the townspeople of Winton, as an expression of the goodwill and friendship which then existed among all classes throughout the district.
But now, as she stood at one end of his desk, something in the resolute set of her chin arrested and held his attention; there was something more he could not at the moment say what to the "little thing" than eyes and red hair. Wouldn't he please let the Rileys stay in their cottage for a little while until something could be done?
Her guardian, to amuse her, had talked about finding a Jack to climb the Beanstalk and kill the monster. She smiled scornfully at the fancy so futile in the face of the tremendous misery and happiness that Giant had the power to make! Two hours after Robin's lonely vigil at the window ended, fire destroyed the empty cottage "up the river" into which the Rileys had been ordered to move.
It looked too absurdly a trifle to have weight with anything as important as righting the wrongs of the Rileys. Afterward, however, Robin vowed she'd always take great care in her dressing! Frank Norris had been superintendent of the Forsyth Mills for twenty-five years.
The girl with the black eyes, standing just back of Adam Kraus' shoulder, laughed a scornful laugh. "Too bad the Rileys can't move here!" The Rileys again! Robin flushed at the girl's laugh and hateful eyes, tried to answer Adam Kraus and to beg them all to wait until Harkness brought in the coffee, but found her throat paralyzed and her feet rooted to the spot.
"It's a grand time the kiddies had this day, bless the little hearts of them, and a loving you like you were some bit of a fairy the impudence of them " "Who are the Rileys?" demanded Robin, sternly for she had to know; the Rileys had spoiled her beautiful plans. "Now don't you be a-bothering your bright head with the Rileys or anyone else " Dale interrupted his mother.
But, though Beryl and Robin pressed, Dale refused and slipped away and Robin had a moment's picture of the triumph of the "horrid" girl when she saw Dale come into the meeting. Then, remembering the plight of the Rileys' she was ashamed of herself for not wanting Dale to go. Sitting around the centre table she and Beryl ate sandwiches while Harkness and Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Williams sipped coffee.
