But Samson was a very ignorant man, who knew a great deal about gardening, but knew nothing whatever about the future, though in that instance his want of knowledge was shared by Fred and Scarlett, who, after resuming their jerkins, took, one the pole, the other the coil of neatly ringed rope, and trudged back to the Manor with Samson, who delivered quite a discourse upon waste of time; but he did not return to his digging, contenting himself with extracting his spade from the ground, wiping it carefully, and hanging it up in his tool-house, close to the lanthorn.
They had not even dared to place it openly in the museum, but after hiding it for a while in the tool-house, had agreed to bury it in the garden as the only secure place. It might just as well, therefore, have remained in the Roman Camp; and with all his heart Ambrose wished it could be transported there again, for he had not known one happy minute since its discovery.
Nevertheless, Zillah and I peeped in. "Oh, the queer little things!" she said, "they seem all mouth and swallow." "Mrs. Robin undoubtedly thinks them lovely. Miss Warren, you are not quite tall enough, and since I can't hold you up like Zillah, I'll get a box from the tool-house. Isn't this the jolliest housekeeping you ever saw?
But tonight he was too depressed to think of anything but the whimpering little dog imprisoned down in the tool-house. After a while, he fell asleep. A true watchdog sleeps with all his senses or the very edge of wakefulness. And when he wakens, he does not waken as do we humans; yawningly, dazedly, drunk with slumber. At one moment he is sound asleep.
One side of this tool-house may be used for plows and large implements, hay-rigging, harness, etc. Proper ventilation of the cellar and the cow-room avoids the objection that the hay is liable to injury from noxious gases. The excellent manure-cellar beneath this barn extends only under the cow-room. It has a drive-way through doors on each side.
Disregarding her manifest aversion for the tool-house, he motioned her into it and shut the door behind her. "You'll stay there, till morning," he told her, as he closed the window and glanced in at the forlorn little wisp of fur and misery. "You'll be comfortable. And the open spaces under the roof will give you all the air you want.
"Yes, my boy, much better," he said, "very much better; but but I dare not do it, Nat, I dare not do it." I felt as if I should like to say, "I'll do it, uncle," but I, too, shrank from the task, and we were saved from the underhanded proceeding by the appearance of my aunt at the tool-house door.
So speaking, honest Andrew collected his dibbles, spades, and hoes, and threw them into a wheel-barrow, leisurely, however, and allowing me full time to put any further questions which might occur to me before he trundled them off to the tool-house, there to repose during the ensuing day.
Palmer, and running down the stair, joined Rob of the Angels where he stood at the door in a group composed of the keepers and most of the servants. "Do you know the tool-house?" he said to Rob. "Yes, Macruadh." "Lead the way then. Your father is there." "On no account let them open the door," cried Mr. Palmer. "They may hold through it what communication they please."
By straining her neck, and pressing her cheek close against the pane, she could just get a glimpse of the tool-house window, which she noticed was faintly illuminated, as it might have been by the feeble rays of a night-light. A sudden thought occurred to Elsie that it must be her cousin, Brian Seaton, who lived at the Pines, and went to school with her brother Guy.
