"I!" exclaimed Kate. "Rob, you mean." "That's a good dog," said Mr. Darby, the storekeeper; "what'll you take for him?" "Not for sale," said Harry. "Rob's all very well," remarked Tony Kirk; "but it won't do to have a feller like that in the woods, a fright'nin' the children. I'd like to know who he is."
Ample proof of Rob's careless and restless nature having been frankly placed before the reader in these pages, you will doubtless be surprised when I relate that during the next few hours our young gentleman suffered from a severe attack of homesickness, becoming as gloomy and unhappy in its duration as ever a homesick boy could be.
Well, as I was saying, Jane grows worn and thin, old Margery's porridge notwithstanding; but Nurse Rosemary Gray is flourishing, and remains a pretty, dainty little thing, with the additional charm of fluffy, fly-away floss-silk, for hair, Dr. Rob's own unaided contribution to the fascinating picture. By the way, I was quite unprepared to find him such a character. I learn much from Dr.
She traced the sentence with her forefinger, for Rob's glance to follow: "Instances of longevity are chiefly among the abstemious." "Girlie won't have any more idea of what I'm talking about than a jay-bird."
Rob's last day came, and an hour before his departure, in company with his friend, the sergeant, he came up to the Manor to bid them all farewell. Roy had some farewell words with him in the privacy of his bedroom. "We shall miss you awfully," he said, walking up and down the room to hide his emotion; "and it makes me wish I had your chance.
If it had been me, I couldn't have gone to the station and watched the fellows go off without me, and joke about it the way you did." Lloyd went on rattling the stick between the slats and made no answer, but Rob's approval brightened her spirits wonderfully. It was not until the next day, when he, too, went back to school, that she fully realized how lonely her winter was going to be.
Men may threaten, but they can not injure you, so you must remember that they do not possess your mighty advantages, and that, because of your strength, you should bear with them patiently." Rob examined the garment with much curiosity. It glittered like silver, yet was soft and pliable as lamb's wool. Evidently the Demon had prepared it especially for his use, for it was just Rob's size.
If you can manage to capture that city, so I can get my electrical devices back, I'll consider you a trump as long as I live." The chief thought this speech was intended to express Rob's gratitude, so he bowed solemnly in return. During the night that followed upon the first engagement of the Turks and Tatars, the boy lay awake trying to devise some plan to capture the city.
Hobart slipped his pike behind his back. "I hae no weapon," he said slily. "Let me hae my fling this nicht," Dow entreated, "and I'll promise to bide sober for a twelvemonth." "Oh, Rob, Rob!" the minister said bitterly, "are you the man I prayed with a few hours ago?" The scythe fell from Rob's hands. "Down wi' your pikes," he roared to his companions, "or I'll brain you wi' them."
It makes you die of laughing to look at them. There they go, and Dibble turns head over heels in his excitement!" Roy's happy laugh rang out, but though Dudley joined him, Rob's face was grave and set. "Please, can I speak to you on business, Master Roy?" "Goody! What a long face!" exclaimed Dudley, pulling down his own in imitation of Rob's, and thereby causing a fresh peal of laughter from Roy.
