"Then henceforth you may address me as grandpa, as these other young folks do," glancing at Rosie and her brothers. "You also, my dear, if you like," he added, catching Lulu's dark eyes fixed upon him with a half eager, half wistful look, and bending down to stroke her hair caressingly. "Thank you, sir," she said, "I think I shall like to. But oh, tell me, please, is Gracie very sick?"
The accident had sobered the party a good deal, and most of them including the older people and Lulu's mates went back to the house with her and her father.
She had begun to carry out her plans for Gracie, delighting herself in making her look as pretty as possible, and each day hoping that Lulu's submission would make it possible to do the same by her.
"I s'pose so," said Lulu. Ina, pink from her little gust of sobbing, went to her, kissed her, her trim tan tailor suit against Lulu's blue cotton. "My sweet, self-sacrificing sister," she murmured. "Oh stop that!" Lulu said. Dwight took her hand, lying limply in his. "I can now," he said, "overlook the matter of the letter." Lulu drew back.
Frank called suddenly. "There's a shark!" Simultaneously, the others saw what he saw a sinister black triangle swiftly shearing the water. They ran, yelling, down to the water's edge and stood there trying to shout a warning over the noise of the surf. Honey did not get it at once. He was still floating, his smiling, up-turned face looking into Lulu's smiling, down-turned one.
They did speak. Dwight said: "Lulu's a regular home body." And Ina advanced kindly with: "Come with us, Lulu, if you like." "No," said Lulu, and flushed. "Thank you," she added, formally. Mrs. Bett's voice shrilled from within the house, startlingly close just beyond the blind, in fact: "Go on, Lulie. It'll do you good. You mind me and go on." "Well," said Ninian, "that's what I say.
Why the little kittie; Lulu's little kittie, you know, that Aunt Lettie thought had come from the pussy-willows. "When are we going to eat?" asked Bushytail, after a while, and he spoke out loud. "Hush!" cried Sister Sallie. "You mustn't ask that, Billie; it isn't polite!" "Well, I wanted to know," said the little boy squirrel. "Bless your heart!" exclaimed Aunt Lettie. "Of course you do.
"I think you do believe in me yet believe that I do really want to be good; though I have failed so often." "My dear little girl, I have not a doubt of it," was the kind response; and Lulu's heart grew light: the trustful words gave her renewed hope and courage for the fight with her besetting sins.
"Jesus and Mary! Are a fellow's chief obligations not his obligations to himself?" At the same time, it was not his intention to put any of the blame on Lulu's shoulders: she couldn't help herself. "Lulu is Lulu. I'm damned fond of Lulu, boys, and I've always done my best by her is there anyone here who wants to say I haven't?"
Then the captain coaxed Rosie to his, saying, "Your dark eyes and hair remind me of my little Lulu's." "Have you a little girl of your own, sir?" Rosie asked with a look of interest. "Yes, my dear, two of them. Lulu is a year or two younger than I take you to be, and Gracie is only seven." "Have you any boys?" inquired Walter. "Yes, my little man; I have one. We call him Max.
