Sahwah made a fearful grimace, and recited sarcastically: "Not showers to larks more pleasing, Not sunshine to the bee, Not sleep to toil more easing, Than Latin prose to me! "The flocks shall leave the mountains, The dew shall flee the rose, The nymphs forsake the fountains, Ere I forsake my prose!"
"Expiro" answered Migwan, "expirare, expiravi, expiratus. It means 'blow, 'Expiravit' is 'have blown." "Rufus is 'red," continued Sahwah, "and is albus 'white'?" Migwan nodded, and Sahwah went back to the beginning and began to read: "Who raw for red white and have blown." Nyoda shouted. "That last word is blew, not have blown" she said. "I have it!" cried Migwan, jumping up.
At that the girls and boys all sprang to their feet and crowded around Uncle Teddy excitedly. "What shall we do?" they asked. "We'll take the big launch and go out and bring them in," he answered calmly. "Are you ready, Mr. Evans?" "Quite so," said Mr. Evans quietly, buttoning up his coat. "Oh, let me go along," begged the Captain. "Let me go, too," cried Sahwah, dancing up and down.
But, being a thorough sport, he shook himself out of his drowsiness and shouted the paddling commands lustily. "One, two! One, two! Click stroke! Ready, dip!" And the paddles clicked and dipped, as the paddlers began to feel the energy rising in their systems. "Water wheel!" shouted Uncle Teddy, and the paddles flashed backward in a wide circle between each dip. "Wasn't that fun?" said Sahwah.
"The only kind of myths Hinpoha cared about were the 'Hero and Leander' kind," said Sahwah slily. "She knew that one by heart." Hinpoha blushed and made awful grimaces at Sahwah. "I should think that one would appeal to you particularly, Sahwah," said Migwan; "you're so fond of swimming." Sahwah snorted. "Leander was a fool.
"I couldn't make it," sobbed Oh-Pshaw. "My knee I don't know what's the matter with it, I can't walk on it, it keeps doubling up under me. I fell down on it every other step and each time it hurt worse. I only got a little way and then I knew it would take me hours to get back to town, so I came back to tell you. H-how did you get the m-man loose and up on shore?" Sahwah explained briefly.
"Believe I'll try coasting down into the lake." And, suiting the action to the word, he climbed the hill and slid down the sandy cut, landing with a fine splash. The others immediately swarmed up the hill to try the new sport, which was as good as the chute-the-chutes at the big amusement park at home. That was the sight which greeted Sahwah when she came back with Mr. Evans from St.
A groan went up from the Washington students as she was led out, followed by a suppressed cheer from the Carnegie Mechanics. Marie met Joe's eye with a triumphant gleam in her own. Sahwah was beside herself at the thing which had happened to her. The game and the championship were lost to Washington. The hope of the team was gone.
That little incident put patriotic fervor into all of them and the evening was filled with animated discussions and hearty singing of war songs. Migwan declared on the way home that Mr. Wing was the most charming man she had ever met. Hinpoha thought the artist was even more charming and hoped they would meet him often. Sahwah said nothing.
Then, without warning, the strange, whimsical mood passed, and Sahwah was her old self again, the old alert, wide-awake self of former days, staring with concentrated attention at a figure which was moving rapidly through the garden. It had come from around the side of the house and was going toward the stable. Fully wide awake, Sahwah leaned farther over the sill and watched.
