But instead of this, the hardened villain turned quite cross when he saw his brother at the point of tears, and exclaimed, hurriedly, "Don't make a young fool of yourself, Stee, whatever you do. It won't do a bit of good." "But, Noll, old man," pleaded the boy, "why ever don't you " "Because I don't choose, and it would be no use if I did," retorted the other. "But the fellows all suspect you!"
It had been arranged, before breaking-up, that Oliver and Wraysford should spend the last week of the holiday together in rowing down the Thames from Oxford to London. Great was Stephen's joy and pride when one morning, near the appointed time, Oliver said to him, "Look here, Stee. How would you like to come with Wray and me next week?" "Like! wouldn't I rather!" shouted the small boy in ecstasy.
Stee Jenkin's wife came up from Seal Cove one day, and, after doing as much work as she could find to do, carried the twins off with her to her little house at the Cove, which was a great relief to Mrs. Burton and Katherine. Mrs.
Oily Dave and Stee Jenkin accepted Katherine's invitation to walk in, following her through the dark store and into the lighted room beyond with a sheepish expression on their faces, which certainly no one had ever seen there before.
"You won't say the indiscretion was worth while if it turns out that we are the second arrivals and not the first," Katherine answered.

"Well, but," persisted Stephen, not half satisfied, "you surely aren't going to give mother's message to Wraysford? I don't want him home at Christmas."

Then remember how kind he and his wife were to us when Father was so ill. Oh, I've got a better opinion of Stee than to think he would steal our things now!" Miles grunted again in a disbelieving fashion, but he did not attempt to upset Katherine's convictions by argument; only they agreed that for the future a more vigilant watch should be kept both indoors and out.
"I saw it," she answered quietly. "I hope my lodger is all right," said the old hypocrite, with an air of concern. "That house of mine ain't well situated for floods, as most folks know. If I'd got the time and the money I'd move it up beside Stee Jenkin's hut, which is really in a bootiful situation."
"Grace!" cried Lady Clonbrony, "do pray have the goodness to seal and send these notes; for really," whispered she, as her niece came to the table, "I cawnt stee, I cawnt bear that man's vice, his accent grows horrider and horrider!" Her ladyship rose, and left the room.
