Peter interrupted again. "If that is so," he said, rising, "I had better go." "No," cried Miss De Voe. "Oh, won't you please? It's no trouble. I'll not order much." "Nothing, thank you," said Peter. "Just a chop or " Peter held out his hand. "No, no. Sit down. Of course you are to do as you please. But I should be so happy if ?" and Miss De Voe looked at Peter appealingly. "No. Thank you."
The muzzles of some smaller guns appeared through the embrasure of the parapet wall, which was also flanked by a buttress, or rather a circular outwork at either end at the foot of the towers, where pivot guns were placed, so that the one on the west could fire directly up the voe or gulf, and served to flank the western wall.
The next morning's mail brought Peter a second note, in the same handwriting as that of the day before. It read: "Miss De Voe has received Mr. "Miss De Voe regrets the necessity of giving Mr. Stirling such brief notice, but she leaves New York on Thursday." As Peter walked up town that morning, he was a little surprised that he was so cool over his intended call.
They reached the mouth of the voe; their passage through the mouth was the first danger they had to encounter; a huge sea came thundering in. "Back off all," cried Morton; and instead of forcing the boat onward, she slowly receded before the wave, which broke in a loud crash directly before her, the foam flying over her bows and deluging her fore and aft.
But I can't afford such luxuries. I had spent more than usual and had to be careful." "Then it was economy?" "Yes." "I had no idea my dinner invitations would ever be held in so little respect that a man would decline one to save seven dollars." Miss De Voe was hurt.
He received a very pleasant letter expressing her regret at missing him, and a request to lunch with her two days later, and to go with some friends to an afternoon piano recital, "if you care for music. If not, merely lunch with us." Peter replied that he was very sorry, but business called him to Albany on that day. "I really regret it," said Miss De Voe to Dorothy.
They had been forgotten in the surprise over Peter, but now Miss De Voe wondered if they had heard his reply, and if they had enough Bible lore to enable them to understand the reproof. "I am sure you don't mean that," she said, in the sting of the moment. "I am very sorry," said Peter, "if I made an unkind speech. What I meant was that no one has a right to pick out the best for himself.
They walked along the shore until they reached a quay of very modest pretensions, where a small boat was lying ready for use. Their home was not many yards from the beach, and was situated on a green sloping point of land almost surrounded by the waters of Boden voe.
But the travellers were obliged to rest, and while they were sitting on the rocky floor the Wizard felt in his pocket and brought out the nine tiny piglets. To his delight they were now plainly visible, which proved that they had passed beyond the influence of the magical Valley of Voe. "Why, we can see each other again!" cried one, joyfully.
When the spring separation came, Miss De Voe was really quite hopeful. "I think things have gone very well. Now, Mr. Stirling has promised to spend a week with me at Newport. I shall have Dorothy there at the same time," she told Mrs. Ogden. Lispenard, who was present, laughed as usual. "So you are tired of your new plaything already?" "What do you mean?"
