After dinner, too, the gentlemen lingered long over their dessert, and Molly heard them laughing; and then she saw them loitering about in the twilight out-of-doors; Roger hatless, his hands in his pockets, lounging by his father's side, who was now able to talk in his usual loud and cheerful way, forgetting Osborne. Voe, victis!
"Arn't you marrying him so as to get rid of his calls and his escortage?" "Of course not. We shall go on just the same." "Bully for you, Ma. Does Dr. Brown know it?" Miss De Voe flushed angrily, and put an end to her call. "What a foolish fellow Lispenard is!" she remarked unconsciously to Wellington at the carriage door. "Beg pardon, mum?" said Wellington, blank wonderment filling his face.
As for reaching the top of the earth, I have never heard that it is possible to do that, and if you succeeded in getting there you would probably fall off." "Oh, no," said Dorothy, "we've been there, and we know." "The Valley of Voe is certainly a charming place," resumed the Wizard; "but we cannot be contented in any other land than our own, for long.
A story is told of an inhabitant of Unst, who, in walking on the sandy margin of a voe, saw a number of mermen and mermaids dancing by moonlight, and several seal-skins strewed beside them on the ground. At his approach they immediately fled to secure their garbs, and, taking upon themselves the form of seals, plunged immediately into the sea.
He and Laurence my second brother are old cronies, and he often drops in on us. I want you to know my brothers. They are both here this evening." "I have met the elder one, I suppose." "No. That was a cousin, Lispenard Ogden. He spoke of meeting you. You would be amused to hear his comment about you." "Mr. Stirling doesn't like to have speeches repeated to him, Dorothy," said Miss De Voe.
Miss Luck takes a hand in and the brewer falls on Peter's breast-bone, and loves him ever afterwards. My cousin writes him, and he snubs her. Does she annihilate him as she would have other men? No. Miss Luck has arranged all that, and they become the best of friends." "Lispenard " Miss De Voe started to interrupt indignantly, but Lispenard continued, "Hold on till I finish. One at a time.

If one spends but seven hours of the twenty-four in sleep, and but two more on meals, there is considerable remaining time, and even so slow a worker as Peter found spare hours not merely for society and saloons, but for what else he chose to undertake. Socially he had an evening with Miss De Voe, just before she left the city for the summer; a dinner with Mr.
Holtum and their young captain to the boat, and with hearty good-will rowed home, singing lustily as they pulled "A life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep." When the Lunda boat was out of sight Yaspard heaved a long sigh, and said to Signy, who with him had stood watching their new friends until the curves of the voe hid them from sight, "Well!
"What do you mean?" asked Dorothy, looking from one to the other. "He snubbed me the other evening when I tried to tell him what we heard, coming out of the convention last autumn," explained Miss De Voe, smiling slightly at the thought of treating Peter with a dose of his own medicine. Peter looked at Miss De Voe. "I hope you don't mean that?" "How else could I take it?"
He stamped about the house, clattering his spurs, and muttering to himself, as was his custom, when anything out of the usual course occupied his mind. At last, going to Surly Grind's kennel, he loosed the dog, and entering his skiff, crossed the voe, as if about to proceed to the mainland.
