I remarked in my vaguest way that it was a wonder some catastrophe hadn't happened to Tibe or other less important members of the party, on board a boat named 'Lorelei. I didn't exactly say it was an unlucky name, but somehow or other she seemed to think so at the end of our conversation.
She then put into his hand the end of a brass tube about an inch in diameter and a foot long, and said: “Give be the tibe of your birth as dear as possible.” This was done, and the following brief dialogue ensued:— “Was you bord id the bording?” “I really don’t remember.” “Do you have beddy dreabs?” “I do not dream much.” “Thed you dod’t have bad dreabs?” “No.”
What I came to say was that, unless you can offer me an immediate engagement " "Oh, I can and do. I beg of you to be my aunt from this moment." "Tibe to travel with me and have every comfort?" "Yes, yes, and luxury." "A pint of warm milk every morning, half a pound of best beef or chicken with vegetables at noon, two new-laid eggs at " "Certainly.
For a second I bending down, she stretching up our faces were neighbors, and I had time to see her expression undergo several lightning changes surprise, incredulity, and a few others not as easy to read before she retired, leaving Tibe to me. Instead of coming up on deck as she had evidently intended to do, she vanished, and a head exquisitely hatted and blue-veiled appeared in place of hers.
"Under the table, Tibe; we're not going, after all, for the moment. And as you have the duck, you may as well eat it." "Good dog," groaned the stricken young man. If he had not, to the best of my belief, been engaged in concocting a treacherous plot against one whom I intended to protect, I could have pitied him. Both sat down again.
It's wonderfully trim." "Thanks. But it happens to be about a hundred years old, and is the only one I have left. As for my hat, and boots but Tibe and I have suffered some undeserved vicissitudes of late." "I'm sorry to hear that. Of course you must have three hundred dollars to begin with." "By the way, am I Mrs. or Miss?" "You must know best as to " "I mean me in the part of your aunt."
You'll unconsecrate the church for Miss Van Buren. Can't you see she'll have none of you?" "I shall need the more time to make her change her mind. Every minute counts. Au revoir. Don't let Tibe escape, or I pity you with your aunt." "I wish he'd jump into the nearest canal. Look here, Gouda's a fraud.
He probably divined that the two veiled figures must be the girls of his late adventure; and as he was now acquainted with them and with Tibe, there would be one less chance of our boat slipping away from under his nose, in case he got upon our track. I realized that Sir Alec could not have been in Scotland when the fatal paragraph appeared, which reached our eyes only yesterday.
So it was settled, and every one agreed to be ready at ten o'clock next morning. But ten o'clock came, and no Nell, no Phyllis, no Chaperon. My car was at the door, as I intended to save time by motoring to the Club harbor, where the yacht was lying; and when Starr and I had waited in the hall for some minutes, Aunt Fay appeared. "Haven't the girls come in yet with Tibe?" she asked.
"You haven't fed them, and brushed them, and washed their feet every day of their lives since they were a few months old, as I have with Tibe, and if you're not very nice to me, you never will." "We never dared hope for quite as much as that," said Starr, "but we are being nice to you. What do you want us to do? They're half an hour behind time. Shall we give an order for the Town Crier?
