He said we must give him a little dance tonight, and I have asked the girls he likes best to come here. I thought this was known to thee. To call my words back now, will give great disappointment." "No need is there to call any word back. Because of thy dress I feared there had been some word of delay. If likelihood rule, Maren and Helga Torrie will wear the best they have."
This day he had received many good-natured greetings Jenny Torrie had told him that the Sea Gull was just coming into harbour, and so heavy with cargo that the sea was worrying at her gunwale; then Mary Inkster from the other side of the street added, "Both hands seen and unseen are full, Captain, I'll warrant that!" "Don't thee warrant beyond thy knowledge, Mary," answered Ragnor, with a laugh.
Sclater, withdrew. The minister might have known by this time with what sort of a youth he had to deal! He came down instantly, put the best face on it he could, said that if Sir Gilbert was so eager to take up the burden, he was ready enough to cast it off, and they would go at once to Mr. Torrie.
He had heard of her tattle against Sir Gilbert, and thus rudely showed his resentment. Miss Kimble burst into tears. Ginevra kissed her, and said, "Never mind, dear Miss Kimble. You could not help it. The whole thing was arranged. We are going after my father, and we have the best horses." Mr. Torrie laughed outright. "A new kind of runaway marriage!" he cried.
Even old Adam Vedder who had come on his own invitation but welcome all the same went through the Orkney Quickstep with the two prettiest girls present, Thora Ragnor and Maren Torrie. For honourable age was much respected and every young person wished to share his happiness with it.
"These are not things to be done in a hurry," he added, as if he had been guardian to twenty wards in chancery before, "We'll see in a few days what Mr. Torrie proposes." "But I want my money at once," insisted Gibbie. "I have been waiting for it, and now it is time, and why should I wait still?"
"That is most certain, but I am not minded to outdress the Torrie girls. Very hard it is for them to get a pretty frock, and it will make them happy to see themselves smarter than Thora Ragnor." "Thou should think of thyself." "Well, I am generally uppermost in my own mind. Also, in Edinburgh I was told that the hostess must not outdress her guests."
Torrie saw that, if he did not make things plain, or gave the least cause for doubt, the youth would most likely apply elsewhere for advice, and therefore took trouble to set the various points, both as to the property and the proceedings necessary, before him in the clearest manner. "Thank you," said Gibbie, through Mr. Sclater.
Torrie?" asked Gibbie, rising too, and working his telegraph with greater rapidity than before. "By and by," answered Mr. Sclater, and walked towards the door. But Gibbie got between him and it. "Will you go with me to Mr. Torrie to-day?" he asked. The minister shook his head. Gibbie withdrew, seeming a little disappointed. Mr. Sclater left the room.
I am now the one accountable for this money, which surely has been idle long enough, and if I leave it still unused, I shall be doing wrong, and there are things I have to do with it which ought to be set about immediately. I am sorry to seem importunate, but if by twelve o'clock you have not gone with me to Mr. Torrie, I will go to Messrs.
