And she Miss Stewart of Severndale, and I not hon to that before! 'Ere's a go and no mistake." As has no doubt already been suspected, Alfred Dawson, Riding Master at the Columbia Heights School, was such a complete impostor that he actually imposed upon himself. He is by no means the only one on record.
Nor were Mammy and Jerome more enthusiastic. They had pretty thoroughly sized up their expected guest while at New London. Nevertheless, noblesse oblige was the watchword at Severndale. The first two days of Peggy's return to Severndale were almost overwhelming for the girl. True, Dr.
Two days later Salt was delivered at Severndale. Dove had been as good as his word. Shelby gave him one glance and said: "Well, if some men knew a HOSS as quick as that thar girl does, there'd be fewer no 'count beasts in the world. Put him in a stall and tell Jim Jarvis I want him to take care of him as if he was the Emperor.
Harold this instant," ordered Peggy, nearly overcome with mortification that her guest should meet with such an experience at Severndale. "Do you hear me? Control yourself at once." She strove to drag the hysterical creature from Mrs. Harold, but she might as well have tried to drag away a wild animal.
He nodded and smiled reassuringly, then turning toward his sister-in-law, replied: "Your letter, Katherine, only served to convince me that Peggy must now have a broader horizon than Severndale, or even Annapolis affords. Dr. Llewellyn and I talked it over when I was home over a year ago, and again last June.
Then she asked: "Won't your father come East this spring for commencement? You said you hoped he would. "I've hoped so every spring, but when he writes he says it takes four whole months to reach Washington from that awful place in the Klondyke. I wish he had never heard of it." "I'm so glad you went to Severndale with us. We must never let her be lonely or homesick again, Peggy."
"But when will they learn about their leave? And if they are to go out to Severndale tonight how will they manage?" asked Rosalie eagerly. "Trust Daddy Neil to manage that. When they get back they'll be called to the office and the officer in charge will notify them of what has taken place and give them their orders." "Oh, I don't think I can possibly wait to hear what they'll say!" cried Polly.
But Shortie's interest was unquestionably centered on one golden-haired little lady, and many a long ride did they take through the lovely country about Severndale. Captain Stewart watched proceedings with a wise smile. Gail and Shortie were prime favorites of his.
This was an inviolable law of Severndale, mutually agreed upon by Dr. Llewellyn, the business manager, Shelby, the foreman, and Peggy, the mistress. "Ain't going to have no half-baked stock sent off THIS place if I have the say-so," had been Shelby's fiat.
Meanwhile she worked away with Compadre and as March slipped by acquired for Severndale a most valuable addition to its paddock. It all came about in a very simple manner, as such things usually do. All through Maryland are many small farms, some prosperous, some so slack and forlorn that one wonders how the owners subsist at all. It often depends upon the energy and industry of the individual.
