At twenty Katherine was too young, too light-hearted for this care of her uncle in which she had persisted as an antidote for Bobby's shortcomings. She was never in harmony with the mouldy house or its surroundings, bleak, deserted, unfriendly to content. Bobby and she had frequently urged the old man to give it up, to move, as it were, into the light.
Finally some of the sealers from the first ship were making their way up over the ice in the direction of Bobby's igloo, and presently he knew they would be upon the very seals that he had watched with so much interest growing from day to day. Among these were two men with guns, instead of clubs, and these two devoted their attention to the old seals, which now and again they shot.
But Johnnie seized his arm. "There," he breathed, "See him! He's sitting in that little scrub oak just to the left of the stub." Bobby peered along his friend's arm. After a moment he made out a mottled spot of brown. "I see him," said he, cocking his rifle. "It's his breast. I wish I could get at his head." "He'll be gone in a minute!" warned Johnny. It was Bobby's turn to shoot.
Still Dora had an irresistible conception of the pained disdain, the latent superciliousness, which would have sprung into full force in Fanny's dark eyes, if she had ever seen the once magnificent Cyril in the most careful modification of a bobby's braided tunic and helmet. Bell Hewett would not look so, if she, in her school-mistress character, met Cyril at Deweshurst.
Bobby jumped on him in open delight at this, as much as to say: "Ye may be as dour as ye like, but ilka body kens ye're gude-hearted." Morning and evening numerous friends passed the gate, and the wee dog waited for them on the wicket. Dr. George Ross and Mr. Alexander McGregor shook Bobby's lifted paw and called him a sonsie rascal.
If I have, by the use of the word "grandfather," given you an idea of decrepitude and old age, in the case of Bobby's grandfather, I wish at once to change that idea. He was a very erect and handsome man, with a white mustache indeed, but with a firm mouth underneath that gave no sign of diminished force. He had always told Mrs.
Of course, Bobby Hargrew had been cast for one of the male parts. Bobby's father had always said she should have been a boy, and was wont to call her "my eldest son." She had assumed mannish ways sometimes when the assumption was not particularly in good taste. "But Short and Long," she growled in her very "basest" voice, "says I can't walk like a boy. Says anybody will know I'm a girl.
His grandmother can send for him from there if she wants him. Mr. Allonby walked to a writing-table and began to write a letter in furious haste. True put out her little fingers and stroked Bobby's velvet sleeve. 'What a nice coat you've got on! Boy-like, Bobby did not think much of his clothes. 'Who are you? he asked curiously. 'Dad's little girl.
The lady put her hand on his rippling coat and felt his heart pounding. Then she looked at his worn down teeth and lifted his veil. Much of the luster was gone from Bobby's brown eyes, but they were still soft and deep and appealing.
Oh!" cried Betty, turning from the approaching beast in despair. "Hurry! Hurry, Bobby Littell! Do you want me to be eaten up?" But Bobby had somehow cramped herself in the winding passage through the snow, and her voice was muffled as she too cried for help. However, Bobby's demands for assistance were much more likely to bring it than the cries of the girl outside.
