"Dorothy," he said softly, giving a glance at Leonore, to see that she was out of hearing, "when you spent that summer with Miss De Voe, did Ray come down every week?" "Yes." "Would he have come if you had been travelling out west?" "Oh, Peter," cried Dorothy, below her breath, "I'm so glad it's come at last!"
The weights did not meet the amount of gold ornaments that had been contributed for the purpose, and no doubt the Gauls were resolved to have all that they beheld; for when Sulpitius was about to try to arrange the balance, Brennus insultingly threw his sword into his own scale, exclaiming, Voe victis!
After executing a few bars he said, "I am going across the voe, and you must not mind if I do not take you with me. I want to have a long talk with the Harrison boys. But if you come down to the noost when I return, I'll take you for a little sail." "I'll be there, brodhor," said Signy. She was always "there" when Yaspard required or requested.
Society people applied much the same test as did the little "angle" children, only in place of "he's frinds wid der perlice," they substituted "he's very intimate with Miss De Voe, and the Ogdens and the Pells."
Peter vacillated, wondering what the correct thing was under the circumstances. The footman, remembering him of old, and servants in those simple days being still open to impressions, suggested that he wait. Peter gladly accepted the idea. But he did not wait, for hardly had the footman left him than that functionary returned, to tell Peter that Miss De Voe would see him in the dining-room.
She then stepped to a door leading into a bedroom, and asked me to look inside and see if I saw anything that looked natural. The very first article my eyes fell upon was a familiar-looking valise, with the name, "Prof. De Voe," printed on it, and the same one that I had frequently carried and had checked, on our recent horse-training trip.
Miss De Voe said: "That is not the one I should have thought of your liking." "That's womanly," said Lispenard, "they are always deciding what a man should like." "No," denied Miss De Voe. "But I should think with your liking for children, that you would have preferred that piece of Brown's, rather than this sad, desolate sand-dune."
After some further conversation, the captain observed, "I would pay my respects to the governor or authorities of the town. As you have proved so good a pilot afloat, you shall accompany me as my guide on shore." Lunnasting Castle stood on a high rocky promontory, washed by the ocean on the south and east, and by a voe which ran up some way inland on the west.
"So that is your Democratic heeler?" said Lispenard, eyeing Peter's retreating figure through the carriage window. "Don't call him that, Lispenard," said Miss De Voe, wincing. Lispenard laughed, and leaned back into a comfortable attitude. "Then that's your protector of sick kittens?" Miss De Voe made no reply. She was thinking of that dreary wintry stretch of sand and dune.
"We are a little before our time," Harry remarked; "but I don't see his boat anywhere along the voe that is, as far as one can see in the Dim and along such a twisting twirligig of a voe as this." "I vote we land and have a nap," said Bill; but no one seconded him, as they expected the Viking and his followers to appear at any moment.
