P.S. Vera asked me if I thought you'd take her and Ronny in at Midsummer. I said of course you would like a shot. LANSDOWN LODGE. CHELTENHAM, Friday. MY DEAREST FRANCES: I hope you got my two wires in time. You needn't come down, either of you. And you needn't worry about Mick. All the same we both think you'd better take him away at Midsummer.
I hope some day to be able to prove it." The noisy entrance into the room of Muriel, Jerry, Leila, Vera and Ronny, with the disappointing news that Phyllis had lost the freshman presidency by only nine votes, broke up the confidential session. "We went to our room first but you were not to be seen. Thought you'd be here. Last I saw of you you had started on a hunt for Lucy.
Ronny was the pleased man to welcome me to his house, and Mirren, his wife, was at her best to be showing what a thrifty goodwife she was making, and she was very kind, and spoke good words to me; so, thinks I, Ronny will have been telling her about the talk we had yon day on the Isle. "They will be saying," says Mirren, "that yon dark lass has her trouble past her."
"I can't grin, and I won't bear it," replied Lady MacNairne. "Dearest Ronny, you are a man, and we look to you to get us away from here." Poor Mr. Starr stared wildly out to sea, as if he would call a bark of some sort from the vasty deep; but there was nothing to be seen except an endless expanse of gray water.
"She'll do anything you ask her to, Anthony." When Frances came into the room again Vera was crying. And so Frances promised. "'Build it up with stones so strong "'Build it up with gold so fine'" It was twenty to eight and Ronny had not so much as begun to say Good night. She was singing her sons to spin out the time. "'London Bridge " "That'll do, Ronny, it's time you were in bed."
A faint pink crept into Lucy's fair pale skin. Lucy was secretly proud of her own reliability. Turning her pretty gold wrist watch on her wrist so that she could see the face of it, she watched it with an eager eye from then on. The watch had been a gift to her from Ronny the previous Christmas, and was her most valued possession.
Ronny, Katherine and Lucy were the picture of blank amazement. "What's the matter?" Anna Towne flushed deeply. She did not understand the meaning of Jerry's loud exclamation. Perhaps she had presumed in thus breaking in upon the chums. "Matter! I don't know what's the matter, but I am going to find out. Read this note. You didn't write that, now did you?" Jerry thrust the note into Anna's hands.
He thought of Ronny and what Ronny had said, of Algy and what Algy had said, of Wally Mason and how Wally had behaved in this very room; and he nerved himself to the task. "Derek, old top." A grunt. "I say, Derek, old bean." Derek roused himself, and looked gloomily across the room to where he stood, warming his legs at the blaze. "Well?" Freddie found a difficulty in selecting words.
And when I saw that the first letter pleased and interested him, I was afraid to tell him I couldn't tell him. Do you suppose he'd gone on writing if he'd ever seen me, Ronny?" Ronald suddenly looked at him with new eyes. "But he must have thought your letters very beautiful to go on as he did," he broke out. "Well I did my best," said Mr. Grew modestly. Ronald pursued his idea.
She had done a risky thing in taking Ronny. It was not fair to her children, to Michael and Nicholas and John. She was afraid. She had been afraid when Vera had talked to her about Nicky and Veronica; and when she had seen Veronica and Nicky playing together in the apple-tree house; and when she had heard Ronny's voice outside the schoolroom door crying, "Where's Nicky? I want him.
