But even then it was not for long. A pair of yellow eyes peered around the window-sill, and a plaintive "meow" begged for admittance. It was plainly Providence that guided that thin and ill-treated kitten to Sandy's window. The welcome it received must have completely restored its shaken faith in human nature. Tired as he was, Sandy went out and bought some milk.
She was enjoying the situation. She meant to upset all Sandy's preconceived ideas. "Now, pork?" he suggested, but with less assurance. But Birdie was obdurate. "Never," she declared emphatically. "Beans, yes. There's good nourishment in beans. Then ther's fresh vegetables heaps of 'em." "Ah! Now, how 'bout fixin' them right the kids, I mean? Guess they'll need bathin'."
The stones, however, just there were not very large, and, with Sandy's help, he managed it. The large end of one trough was put through the ventilator-hole, and the small end of the other through the hole opposite; their second ends met in the middle, the one lying into the other, and were supported at the juncture by a prop.
I haven't seen him since breakfast. Melvy says he spends his spare time on the river. That's what's giving him the malaria, too, you mark my words." It was after eleven when Sandy's step sounded on the porch. At the judge's call he opened the sitting-room door and stood dazed by the sudden light.
'Twice a year so his clerk towd me Christmas an Midsummer. Praps we shan't want to use it aw, Hannah; praps we might save soom on it for t' childer. Their keep, iv yo feed em on parritch, is nobbut a fleabite, an they'n got a good stock o' cloos, Sandy's nurse towd me. He looked anxiously at Hannah.
It was not a place anyone need grieve over losing, an observer might say a few acres of stumpy, cleared land, an indefinite piece of forest, and an old log cabin. But it was Sandy's home the only one he had known since he left his father's fisher-hut on the wind-swept shore of Islay.
What was my consternation when the reeshlin' an' rattlin' stoppit at the shop door, an' I heard Sandy's voice roarin', "Way-wo, haud still, wo man, wo-o-o, will ye!" "What i' the face o' the earth's ado noo?" says I to mysel'; an' I goes my wa's to the door. Sandy had been up at Munromont for a load o' tatties.
So he tore open the envelope and pulled out a paper. "It's certainly for me," he said, "for here's my picture again. But I'd like to know why these other people have their pictures in my letter. They've no business in my letter!" Mr. Crow looked over Sandy's shoulder which was not at all a polite thing to do. "That's queer!" Mr. Crow exclaimed. "There's one of the Red-Squirrel boys and Mrs.
Locking the door behind him, Sandy joined Gilbert in the skiff, and together they paddled furiously out of the creek into the river. The moon was up in all her splendor, and objects on the water were plainly visible for some distance. Lillian was seated in the bow, facing the two boys at the paddles. Leander and Dink fell in the wake of Sandy's skiff, about ten yards in the rear.
He and Molly, when the mood seized her, gathered wood and piled it carelessly by the cabin door. It seemed a goodly pile while the days were still warm and fine, but Martin, with a groan, realized how small the accumulation really was with the long, black months lying before. The warm sun of September brought a faint tinge to Sandy's hollow cheeks.
