Knowing no fear, she has begun to develop a feeling of kinship with all the small animals, not only of the barn but dwellers on Opal Farm as well, and when she discovered a nest of small mice in an old tool-box under the eaves and proposed to take them, in their improvised house, to her very own room at the opposite end, this "room" being a square marked around her bed by small flower-pots, set upside down, I protested, as a matter of course, saying that mice were not things to handle, and besides they would die without their mother.
Lydia said nothing, either then or when, after a long pause, he said that he would leave the car at the next station. "It has been very pleasant to see you again," he said, bending over his tool-box, "and you mustn't lay it up against me that I haven't congratulated you on your engagement. Of course you know how I wish you all happiness." "Thank you," said Lydia.
These tubes varied in length from four to six inches, the larger being three inches in diameter. "Behold your leak-proof interiors!" he cried, holding one up. "Now set your wits and Bart's tool-box to work and we shall have some speedy results!"
I got some tools out of the tool-box and began to take the pipe down. "Hadn't you better take your dust-coat off, man?" said Berry. "No, thank you, sir." Berry turned to Lord Brethe, who had come to watch the operation. "All this comes through letting my young brother-in-law play about with the car," he explained airily. "No, really?" said Lord Brethe. "Yes," said Berry.
"Shut off, you Irish madman!" was the shouted command. "Don't you see you're on the wrong division?" Callahan gave the throttle-bar another outward hitch, tipped his seat and took a hammer from the tool-box. "I know where I'm goin', an' that's more thin you know, ye blandhanderin' divil! Up on that box wit' you, an' kape out av Jimmy Shovel's road, or I'll be the death av yez! Climb, now!"
Well, I can hardly tell you that, for, no sooner did we catch sight of the man than my passenger roared to me to go straight on, and, ducking down inside the landaulette, he hid himself as completely from sight as though he had been in the tool-box.
"Give me your axe, and you go and hold the horses. I'll soon bring you something to fasten the shaft to, and strengthen it." He took the axe out of the tool-box under the coachman's seat, said a few words to reassure the ladies, and then jumped the ditch by the side of the road. There were some trees there, but they were as rare as the hairs on the head of an old man.
He merely said, as he put his hammer into the tool-box "Miss Grey wouldn't let us." "But," continued Ambrose, feeling it easier now that he had begun, "suppose we didn't ask her?" David's attention was at last stirred. He turned his blue eyes gravely towards Ambrose. "Father and mother wouldn't like that," he said. Ambrose was quite ready for this objection.
He dug this out with his knife-point, and the water began spurting in. Backing out and closing the door, he found a wrench in the tool-box and began fumbling about the engine. Soon the spark-plugs were unscrewed and in his pocket. "And there's a good job done!" he thought, triumphantly. "Guess that gang of blacklegs won't get very far in the Barracouta to-night!" Voices on the shore.
I slammed my tool-box shut and started for Jamestown on the next train. Twenty-four hours later saw me headed for the oil country, equipped with a mighty album and a price-list. The album contained pictures of the furniture I had for sale. All the way down I studied the price-list, and when I reached Titusville I knew to a cent what it cost my employers per foot to make ash extension tables.
