"That there song ain't got much music, and I cal'late it don't improve to speak of with my voice," he answered, his swarthy face breaking into a broad smile. "It must sound funny for an old fish like me to be serenading a young lady like you. Glad you liked the entertainment, Beth." "I didn't say I liked it.
"Cousin Emeline!" whispered Roxy, "do you hear that?" "What is it?" inquired Emeline, revealing no emotion. "It's Brother Strang serenading." "How do you know?" "Because he is the only man on Beaver who can play the fiddle like that." Roxy gave herself over to unrestrained giggling. "A man fifty years old!" "I don't believe it," responded Emeline, sharply.

Maggie did not mind it amused her to see her terror of the night before transformed into a mere serenading crippled old gentleman, and to see, too, the excited pleasure with which Caroline accepted even such decayed attentions as these. But what was it that had persuaded her last night? Why did she now spend her time half in one world and half in another? Which world was the real one?
"There's something wrong about him; he's not wholesome!"

On that night the genial moon smiled down upon the Camp-fire Girls and sent his myriad of rays like a serenading party to enliven the festive scene. The place looked like some enchanted grove. Yes, Roy was right; the Skybrows did not do these things by halves. Here indeed was a haven for the famished; here rescue awaited the starving scout.
She agonized after the belief that they were two of Patsy's sweethearts, come for the commendable purpose of serenading her. In fact they were almost in the house before this remarkable female was prepared to trust the evidence of her own senses. But when suspense gloomed into certainty, Keturah is happy to say that she was grandly equal to the occasion.

That choked him off, and we had no more serenading.
