"De cat, mos' likely, Miss Wilet," said Agnes, setting down her basket and glancing at puss who was stretched comfortably on the rug before the fire. "I s'pect she's been running ober de bureau, like I see her do, mor'n once 'fo' dis." "She looks very quiet now," remarked Violet, "and if she did the mischief it was certainly not intentional. But don't leave her shut up here again, Agnes."
Well, I s'pect you have everything you want, don't you?" "Of such things " said Daisy. "That's what I meant. Gracious! I s'pose every one of us has wishes whether they are in the air or on the earth. Wishes is the butter to most folks' bread. Here, child." She took the bundle from Hephzibah, unrolled it, and examined its contents with a satisfied face.
"They've got their young soldier home to Elmfield," said Miss Barry. "I s'pect they're dreadful sot up about it." "They don't want that," said Mrs. Boddington. "The Knowltons always did carry their heads pretty well up, in the best o' times; and now Evan's got home, I s'pose there'll be no holding 'em in. There ain't, I guess, by the looks."
"P'r'aps he'll be ashamed of hisself when 'e comes to think it over," he murmured, as Mrs. Billing, rendered almost perfect by practice, administered first aid. "I s'pect he's crying his eyes out," she said, with a sniff. "Tell me if that 'urts." Mr. Billing told her, then, suddenly remembering himself, issued an expurgated edition.
We done skeered 'em up outen the swamp, an' when our dawgs gits heah we s'pect tuh track 'em down once foh all," observed the sheriff, now apparently ready to shake hands with the two voyagers. "No; we haven't met a single person, black or white, on the trail; but we have reason to believe that there's a man hiding around here who wanted to waylay us and rob us."
"Now, let's see, boys," said Sam, when a comfortable meal of pork and beans had been disposed of, and a mug of cider was set down before the fire to warm. "I s'pect ye'll like to hear a Down-East story to-night." Of course we did, and tumbled over each other in our eagerness to get the nearest place to the narrator.
"And it was," interrupted Marjorie; "and we had a pretty good time, only I was too heavy and I went down whizz zip! And Molly came flying up, and if we hadn't caught each other, I s'pect we'd both have been drowned!" Grandma Sherwood began to realize that there had been not only mischief but real danger in this latest escapade.
Cap'n Abe said: "Land sakes! you come 'way down here to the Cape to be took in by a feller like Ford Tapp, Niece Louise? I thought you was a girl with too much sense for that!" "But what has love to do with sense, uncle?" she asked him, dimpling. "Hi-mighty! I s'pect that's so. An', anyway, he does seem to improve. He's really gone to work, they tell me, in one of his father's candy factories."
Only Cynthia was there. "Where is grandpa, Cynthy?" "He went off into his room a half an hour ago. I believe he's layin' down. He ain't right well, I s'pect. What's made you so late?" "O, they kept me," said Fleda. Her gayety suddenly sobered, she took off her bonnet and coat, and throwing them down in the kitchen, stole softly along the passage to her grandfather's room.
By pretending ignorance of Spanish he might learn something that would be of advantage to him. Accordingly, he came forward when Dick spoke. "From Fort Whipple, ain't yer, sonny?" "I am." "D' ye know these critters?" "The black is my brother's, the light is mine." "Lookin' on 'em up, I s'pect?" "We shall take them, if we can." "You see, I was right," continued Dick to his companion, in Spanish.
