Gilbert sat down beside her on the boulder and held out his Mayflowers. "Don't these remind you of home and our old schoolday picnics, Anne?" Anne took them and buried her face in them. "I'm in Mr. Silas Sloane's barrens this very minute," she said rapturously. "I suppose you will be there in reality in a few days?" "No, not for a fortnight.
Then it would be too late for my schoolday, and I would make a day of it ... would perhaps get acquainted with some farmer and his family, have dinner and supper at his house, and swap yarns with him and the rest of his people. Jack Travers was as proud of my foot-trip to Osageville as if he had accomplished it himself.
He had seen Indian squaws in plenty, stolid and fat, he had known a few of the wives of the Bradleyburg men, women pretty enough, good housekeepers, neatly clad and perhaps a little saddened and crushed by the very remorselessness of this land in which they lived. But there had been no girls in Bradleyburg to grow up with, no schoolday sweethearts.
It was much shorter this way than going "down the line," though strange to say it took far longer to traverse it on a schoolday, for it was a very enjoyable road indeed, from which one was ever making side excursions after berries or nuts or wild grapes, and which admitted of endless ways of beguiling dull time, and rendering oneself late for school.
The ego puts upon himself his garment of flesh and goes forth into the school of the physical world to learn certain lessons. He learns them, or does not learn them, or partially learns them, as the case may be, during his schoolday of earth-life; then he lays aside the vesture of the flesh and returns home to his own level for rest and refreshment.
Barnet was in the hands of the French maid, and could not be disturbed while her hair was being dressed. Flossie wondered what she could find to play with. She wished that Saturday had been a schoolday. Usually she found the baby amusing, but Uncle Harry's little daughter was out for an airing. The kitten skurried down the hall and Flossie caught her, and ran off to the music-room.
Here's me!" was his salutation, as he ran up the steps. "Oh, Roger!" cried Patty, and she grasped his hand and showed unfeigned gladness at seeing him. Patty was devoted to her friends, and Roger was one of her schoolday chums. Mona came forward and greeted the new guest, and introduced him to the strangers. "Isn't this just too downright jolly!"
We passed Arran and entered the North Channel and that was as far as our schoolday geography took us. Speculation was rife as to our eventual destination but there was no shortage of opinion amongst our amateur navigators who tried to calculate speed, distance and direction as we moved into the open waters.
