Melton's housewifely instincts asserted themselves, and she shooed the boys off to their rooms to rid themselves of the dust of the journey, while she bustled round to get supper on the table. A few minutes later and they were gathered at supper in the brightly-lighted, well-furnished dining-room of the ranch. It was a jolly party, where every one radiated happiness and good nature.
"The hen-house roof fell in, an' I have to keep 'em in here," she said, and shooed them and shook her shawl at them, until they alighted all croaking with terror upon the bed in the corner. Then she looked inquiringly around the room. "Why," she cried, "she's gone; she was settin' here in this rockin'-chair when I went out. She must have run when she see you comin'!" Mrs.
Helen shooed them off, declaring they had no manners at all, and that they had better see that they were ready for their own party. Judith and Nancy were indignant at the implication that they were not well prepared for the morrow, but just before "Lights out" bell sounded, Judith asked Sally May to let her see the rhyme for the Canterbury bells tag. "Why I thought you and Nancy were doing it.
After we had been shooed in front of most of the pictures and told how to see things in them that weren't there at all, Hob Capers said: "'Let's all go down to the University Club and get drunk to forget 'em. That's why Mrs. Matilda came home so late." "And I want Hobson to be nice to her too," continued Mrs. Buchanan as if she had not been interrupted in planning for her guest.
Farrel and Don Nicolás followed them to the boundaries of the ranch and shooed them out through a break in the fence. "Regarding that stranger who camped last night in the valley, Don Miguel. Would it not be well to look into his case?" Don Mike nodded. "We will ride up the valley, Pablo, as if we seek cattle; if we find this fellow we will ask him to explain."
The others were now all streaming into the hall, and Bubbles would hardly allow the good-natured Sir Lyon and Bill Donnington to finish their cigarettes before she shooed them out to cut down some ivy. Varick looked annoyed when he heard that the decorations in the church were not yet finished. "Can't we bribe some of the servants to go down and do them?" he asked.
She made him a smart little curtsey. I've told Freddy that when I've departed for realms of bliss, he is to put on my tombstone, "Died of changing her clothes." I know the end will come some Sunday. We appear at breakfast dressed for church. That's a long skirt. We are usually shooed upstairs directly we get back, to put on a short one, so that we can go and look at the kennels or the prize bull.
Then she shooed them out and went about her work of "redding up," pacing the earthen floor with the proud tread of victory. Courant was sitting outside on the log bench. She moved to the door and smiled down at him over the tin plate she was scouring. "Come in and sit with her while I get the supper," she said. "Don't talk, just sit where she can see you."
These her mother took great joy in displaying, and never objected when he stayed after eleven o'clock; for she thought he was "such a good catch" and such a "swell young man." But Nora shooed him off the front porch in the summer following, because he objected to her having two or three other eleven o'clock fellows. She said he was "selfish, and would not let her have a good time."
We didn't shoot them, but we did surround them, and by working carefully and cautiously we "shooed" them into an empty log-house. And the next day we had them for dinner. Around the shores of the Glimmerglass a few loons and wild-ducks usually nested, and in the autumn the large flocks from the Far North often stopped there for short visits, on their way south for the winter.
