Julia looked up only long enough to give Miss Toland a pained and fluttering smile. She was glad of an excuse to disappear with Anna, when the little girl's bedtime arrived, and lingered so long in the bedroom that Miss Toland came and rapped on the door. "Julia! What ARE you doing?" called the older woman impatiently. Julia came to the door. "Why, I'm so tired, Aunt Sanna," she began smilingly.
Fundevogel and Lina loved each other so dearly that when they did not see each other they were sad. The forester, however, had an old cook, who one evening took two pails and began to fetch water, and did not go once only, but many times, out to the spring. Lina saw this and said, "Hark you, old Sanna, why are you fetching so much water?"
In his enormous relief, Richie felt that he could have danced and sung. He busied himself brewing a hot drink for the older woman. "Richie," said Julia, with a pleasant childish note of triumphant reproach in her voice, "was worried to DEATH because I was here alone with Anna! Don't you think he's crazy, Aunt Sanna?" "Why, you two have been here alone?" Miss Toland asked, stirring her chocolate.
As I let your little sister go with you, you must leave betimes and not remain standing anywhere, and when you have eaten at grandmother's you must return at once and come home; for the days are very short now and the sun sets very soon." "Yes, I know, mother," said Conrad. "And take good care of Sanna that she does not fall or get over-heated." "Yes, mother."
I WILL defend Jim," she added gravely, "and he DID have an excuse. It seems unfair to me that he should have all the blame." She held her hand out, fingers spread to the reviving flame, rosy and transparent in the glow. "Rich, no one knows this but Jim and me; not Aunt Sanna, not my own mother," she presently resumed. "But it makes what he did a little clearer, and I'm going to tell you."
"Do you know, Sanna," said the boy, "we are on the dry grass I often led you up to in summer, where we used to sit and look at the pasture-land that leads up gradually and where the beautiful herbs grow. We shall now at once go down there on the right." "Yes, Conrad." "The day is short, as grandmother said, and as you well know yourself, and so we must hurry." "Yes, Conrad," said the girl.
Julia loosened the sleeve as the surgeon's scissors clipped it away, and she held the child while the arm was set and bandaged. Miss Pierce was faint, and Miss Toland admitted freely that she hated to see a child suffer, and went away. "Only a clean dislocation, Aunt Sanna!" said Jim, cheerfully, when he came out of the sickroom. "She'll have to lie still for a while, but that's all.
My auntie said gien I wouldna tell, I micht put the door atween 's; and I took her at her word; for I kenned weel she couldna keep a secret, and I wasna gaein to hae his name mixed up wi' a lass like mysel! And, sir, ye maunna try to gar me tell, for I hae no richt, and surely ye canna hae the hert to gar me! But that ye sanna, ony gait!"
"Everybody does nowadays, I suppose," Julia laughed. "Sometimes I think what good material The Alexander stuff would be, Aunt Sanna. But the truth is, Jim doesn't like the idea." "Doesn't? Bless us all, why not?" "Oh!" Julia dimpled demurely. "The great Mrs. Studdiford writing, like a mere ordinary person?" she asked. "Oh, that's it? Where is Jim, by the way?" "Sacramento.
Do you see now, Sanna, as we are at the ice we shall go down over the blue color, and through the forests in which are the boulders, and then over the pasture-land, and through the green leafy-forests, and then we shall be in the valley of Gschaid and easily find our way to the village." "Yes, Conrad," said the girl. The children now entered upon the glacier where it was accessible.
