The Boarder took Lily Rose, who was quite flustered at her first appearance with the family. John and Colette occupied a pew directly opposite the family. Mr. Vedder and Pete were also in attendance.
Now there's Vedder; he 'went off on a bend, as he calls it, last night, and even he says this morning it wasn't worth it. But let's read on." Again he read, with unresilient movement: "I saw Osirian Egypt kneel adown Before the vine wreath crown! I saw parched Abyssinia rouse and sing To the silver cymbals' ring! I saw the whelming vintage hotly pierce Old Tartary the fierce!
The street lights came out, the crowds began to thin away, I heard a strident song from a phonograph at the entrance to a picture show, and as I passed again in front of the great, dark, many-windowed mill which had made my friend Vedder a rich man I saw a sentinel turn slowly at the corner. The light glinted on the steel of his bayonet. He had a fresh, fine, boyish face.
At the last moment he was shot in the throat and received a deadly wound in the side, as he tore from the hands of the Ensign the flag of his regiment, wrote Vedder. I saw the fight between the men. I was carrying water to the wounded on the hillside. I, and several others, rushed to the side of Boris.
"I thank thee, Colonel," said Vedder, as he "changed hats" with the Colonel, "but now I can relieve thee of the charge thou hast taken. I am going home and Sunna will go with me; but if thou could call on an old man about some business, there is a matter I would like to arrange with thee." "I could go home with you now, Vedder, if that would be suitable."
When the Twins woke the next morning, the fire was already roaring up the chimney, and the kitchen was warm as toast. They hopped out of bed and ran for their wooden shoes. Mother Vedder reached up to the mantel shelf for them. Truly, the hay was gone and there in each shoe was a package done up in paper! "Oh, he did come! He did come!" cried Kat.
You know how I thought about Vrouw Van der Kloot's cakes. But I can't think how I can mind twice at one time." "I don't suppose you can," said Kat. "But anyway, I'm sorry about my dress." Just then Vrouw Vedder called them to come and eat their breakfast. Father and Mother Vedder sat down at the little round table and bowed their heads. Kit and Kat stood up.
Sea air would work wonders for him." "He shall go," said Amarilly with determination. "I can get a week for him through the Fresh Air Fund," suggested the doctor. He succeeded in getting two weeks, and, that time was extended another fortnight through the benevolence of Mr. Vedder. Bud returned a study in reds and browns.
"There's one for Father, and one for Mother, and one for Kat, and one for me," said Kit. "O Mother," said Kat, "Kit can think! He thought just how many dolls he could buy when they were one for one cent! Isn't it fine that he can do that?" "You've learned a great deal at the market," said Vrouw Vedder. But Kit didn't say a word. He just looked proud and pleased and put his hands in his pockets.
They were talking of the excitement in London, and of the pressure of the clergy putting down the reluctancies and falterings of the peace men. "Have you heard, Miss Vedder," said Grant, "that one of the bishops decided England's call to war by a wonderful sermon in St. Paul's?" "I am sorry to be ignorant. Tell me."
