See the description of this and other like scenes in Berlepsch, Die Alpen, pp. 169 et seqq., or in Stephen's English translation. About an hour from Thusis, on the Splagen road, "opens the awful chasm of the Nolla which a hundred years ago poured its peaceful waters through smiling meadows protected by the wooded slopes of the mountains.
It took Sary but an instant to open the package and when she beheld a ruffled organdy dress discarded by Barbara the previous season and accidentally packed in the trunk with other clothes, she rolled her eyes heavenward. "Miss Nolla! Is this fine gown'd fer me?" Eleanor stifled a laugh but Sary made as if she would clasp the girl in her powerful arms, so discretion was needed.
But you will learn now, that I intend driving my own steed, and will not allow others to whip my mount!" Eleanor was silenced as she began to review the very recent talk she had given out on the terrace. Polly was right! "It hurts me to tell you this, Nolla, but it is best that we have a clean slate from this night on.
Ken and I will be home every holiday, and perhaps we can run down from New Haven, now and then, over Sundays," remarked Jim, eagerly. Eleanor held up an assuring hand, as she nodded her wise little head knowingly and said: "Leave it to Nolla, boys!" They laughed and agreed that there was no one else that could arrange affairs any better!
"Climbing up a high mountain, he had fallen down a precipice and had been found dead. These events threw all the neighborhood into great consternation. "That is when the rumors first spread that the restless spirit of the brother murderer was seen wandering about the castle. All this happened many years before my father and your grandfather moved into Nolla as Rector.
She knows what's good as well as we do!" defended Eleanor, who was eager to go to this mountain ranch. "Nolla is quite right, Bob. Anne is too particular to engage board in an undesirable house or hotel!" added Mrs. Maynard.
"I'm sure I don't know, Nolla. It looks like copper." "Polly! If it's copper, then we're rich!" Both girls rushed over to examine the metallic gleams at close range, and Polly frowned as a thought entered her mind. Eleanor turned and looked about to be sure no one could hear, and then whispered: "Polly, it looks like gold! Can it be real GOLD!"
Brewster will give you a pile of finery I left for your trousseau. You will be delighted to get the laces and other trimmings for your hope-box." "Ah, Nolla, won't ah, jest! An' when Ah comes to Noo York to see you-all, you won't know me in my fine togs!" was Sary's eager reply. "Oh! were you expecting to come, Sary?" Eleanor asked. "Shure thing, Nolla.
"It does seem to be five, without a doubt!" admitted she. "Oh, well! it really doesn't matter much what the price is just as long as we have a good time this summer!" exclaimed Eleanor. "But, Nolla, dear, it does matter! Your father is dreadfully upset about our plans.
Daddy is coming to visit us at Pebbly Pit. Won't it be fun for him to sleep in the barn with John and Tom?" "Oh, he never could, Nolla!" gasped Polly. "Why not? He is no better than the boys, here!" "But well, I'm sure father won't like him to. We must plan somewhere else for him," replied Polly. "I'll tell you-all a secret, if you won't tell any one.
