Is it wonderful that not seldom her glance encountered Verty's, and they exchanged smiles? His face was the face of her boy playmate it was very old and familiar; who can say that it was not more that it was not dear?
Then she raises her head and says "How did you ever come to be the old Indian woman's son, Verty?" Verty's dreamy eyes fall from the sky, where a circling hawk had attracted his attention, to Redbud's face. "Anan?" he says. Redbud greets this exhibition of inattention with a little pout, which is far from unbecoming, and too frank to conceal anything, says, smiling "You are not listening to me.
Redbud laughed; her coolness could not last in Verty's presence; his fresh voice, so full of their old happy times, made her a child again. "And how did you find me'?" she said, in her old tone. "By your pigeon!" "My pigeon? "Yes, indeed; I shot him." "You shot him, Verty?" Verty experienced, he knew not why, a feeling of extreme delight, on hearing his name from her lips.
Poor Verty's face began to be overclouded. What did it mean. That is not a very difficult question to us, however much it might have puzzled Verty.
It is an enormity, sir horrible! dreadful!" "What the devil are you shouting about there!" cried the voice of Mr. Rushton, angrily. And opening the door between the two rooms, the shaggy-headed gentleman appeared upon the threshold. Roundjacket turned over the sheet of paper upon which Verty's design had been made; and then turned to reply to the words addressed to him.
Oh, Miss Sallianna, how could I be careful, and watch, and think Redbud's smiles were not here! I could not I would rather die!" And Verty's head sank upon his hands which covered the ingenuous blushes of boyhood and first love. In this advanced age of the world, we can pity and laugh at this romantic nonsense let us be thankful.
"With pleasure." And Mr. Roundjacket, inserting one thumb into the pocket of his long waistcoat, pointed with the ruler to Verty's costume. "Do you call that a proper dress for a lawyer's clerk?" he said. "Is the profession to be disgraced by the entrance of a bear, a savage, a wild boy of the woods, who resembles a catamountain? Answer that, sir. Look at those leggins!" And Mr.
And Miss Sallianna raised her eyes, bashfully, to Verty's face, then cast them with maidenly modesty upon the carpet. "No, ma'am," said Verty, thoughtfully, and quite ignorant of the deadly attack designed by the fair lady upon his heart "I don't think I could change." In these simple words the honest Verty answered all. "Why not?" simpered the lady.
That lady then went on in a sly and careful manner possibly diplomatic would be the polite word to suggest herself as the most proper object of Verty's experiment. He might make love to her if he wished she would not be offended.
The pigeon was perched upon his left hand, secured to Verty's arm by a ribbon tied around one of its feet. This ribbon had been given him by Redbud. In the other hand he carried his rifle, for some days disused at his feet lay Longears and Wolf, in vain pleading with down-cast eyes for permission to accompany him.
