Then put on top of it or under it two or three feet of mud and you have five to six feet in all, and that is an interesting state of things to wade through. We must stay at this end of the dock; and back of Aunt Stanshy's barn, I believe, are steps. I must work him up there, and do it myself somehow, for my shouting don't bring any one."
It was Tony who gallantly ran forward and rescued Aunt Stanshy's spectacles as their wearer was about quitting the spout for the ground. "We think that monkey is very smart, Aunt Stanshy," said Sid. "I expect you will make him an honorary member the next thing." "He's bright enough," said Sid.
There was a clattering of feet on the stairs leading to the chamber of Aunt Stanshy's barn. First there popped up one head and a pair of curious eyes. Then there popped up a second head and two more eyes. Then there popped up a third head and two more eyes. "Jolly! Don't she beat all?" It was Sid Waters who said this.
Every thing was made ready for the sale. Aunt Stanshy's two rooms were the scene of much bustle, and while the boys were at their tables, Miss Barry in a tastily-draped corner was ready for a reasonable sum to serve out refreshments to every applicant. The Helping-Hand Sale had various attractions. Among them was Charlie's "maginary."
If Aunt Stanshy had been at home she would have vetoed the plan, but, purposing to be absent the night before the Fourth she had engaged Silas Junkins to stay with Charlie and guard the premises. Charlie had no difficulty in obtaining Silas's consent to the plan, and not only his consent, but also his co-operation. In the main entry of Aunt Stanshy's house was a tall, old-fashioned clock.
As Will spoke he also attended to his breakfast, interjecting his words amid sips of coffee and mouthfuls of Aunt Stanshy's flaky biscuit. He was hungry, as he had been out before breakfast in answer to a furious alarm of fire. "You see, when a club is in pieces, that it may be mended again, each piece must resolve to do what it can toward a coming together again. Will you?" "Yes, I will."
He had also given powders to make poor Miss Persnips sleep quietly. She was sick with a nervous fever. Will now closed the store, turned the key in the lock, and went up the street, whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was half after ten. One by one the house-lamps had been extinguished, and it was "dark as a pocket" in the lane. Still whistling, Will neared Aunt Stanshy's.
The idea went confusedly through her brain that Charlie wanted to sleep with Will. "Y-e-s," she murmured, drowsily, and then the angel of sleep had her fully again under his control. Charlie stole down into Will's room, his clothes on his arm. "Now, dress quick as you can. Have you an overcoat?" "Yes, but it is up in Aunt Stanshy's closet." "We don't want to disturb her again.
Young Tim speedily began to rally, sitting up that very day, while Ann went round the house singing. Charlie came up the next day with a delicacy from Aunt Stanshy for the patient. "Tell Aunt Stanshy to wipe out every thing, and we will start once more," was the message that Ann sent off by Charlie. "It is all wiped out," was Aunt Stanshy's answer, and the two soon came together and joined hands.
Then it seemed to him as if above his ladder he saw a bright, beautiful, silver round, but it was up so high he could not reach it! Looking at it, longing to plant his feet upon it, some one seemed to approach Charlie whom he immediately knew, because he resembled pictures in the old family Bible at Aunt Stanshy's. He had a shepherd's crook in his hand, and there was a crown of thorns on his head.
