Hughie hung the first over his looking-glass, put the second on a shelf between Ruff's Guide and Bailey's Magazine, and lived on two hundred a year that an old aunt allowed him. He had tried everything. He had gone on the Stock Exchange for six months; but what was a butterfly to do among bulls and bears? He had been a tea-merchant for a little longer, but had soon tired of pekoe and souchong.
But Harvey heard his voice the odd little bursts of melody, the liquid rise and fall, which set to tune, no doubt, some childish fancy, some fairy tale, some glad anticipation. Hughie lived in the golden age. A year or two more, and the best of life would be over with him; for boyhood is but a leaden time compared with the borderland between it and infancy; and manhood the curse of sex developed
O'Neill," she said earnestly, "is a regiment of grave-diggers and stone-cutters to help you and Hughie get the thing done." Night came upon them with Hughie digging up a dot beside the well and Kenny again in the orchard. Everything led back somehow to the orchard, his memory, the chart, even his own conviction.
'I wasn't touching your rotten stuff! and again the lie is exchanged. "Immediately there is demand from the spectators that the matter be argued to a demonstration, and thereupon one of the larger boys, wishing to precipitate matters and to furnish a casus belli, puts a chip upon Hughie's shoulder and dares Foxy to knock it off. But Hughie flings the chip aside.
"Oh, I'm only the intelligent spectator, you ought to know that by this time, Hughie. But I thought it might interest you, since you'll have to go on the stump and refute it all. That'll be a nice job. So long." And he departed. Of course I knew that he had been baiting me, his scent for the weaknesses of his friends being absolutely fiendish.
Hughie, of course, was about most of the time, but she would not meet Hanson in the cabin, but out in the golden October weather among the pines. Bob Flick was returning to the desert the next day, so she had nothing to fear from him. Several days, almost a week, passed, and then a letter from Hanson, telling her of Mrs.
After the worship was over, Hughie seized his Scotch bonnet and rushed for the jumper, and in a few minutes his mother had all the space not taken up by him and Ranald packed with blankets and baskets. "Jessie thinks that even great shanty-men like you and Don and Hughie will not object to something better than bread and pork." "Indeed, we will not," said Ranald, heartily.
'My dear boy, you'll never see it again. Son affaire c'est l'argent des autres. 'I think you might have told me, Alan, said Hughie sulkily, 'and not have let me make such a fool of myself. 'Well, to begin with, Hughie, said Trevor, 'it never entered my mind that you went about distributing alms in that reckless way.
The bays straightened their backs, hung for a few moments on their tugs, for the load had frozen fast during the night, and then moved off at a smart trot, the bells solemnly booming out, and the sleighs creaking over the frosty snow. "Man!" said Hughie, enthusiastically, "I wish I could draw logs all winter." "It's not too bad a job on a day like this," assented Billy Jack.
But the young man with "his head split in the middle" would be there, and perhaps Maimie would be "going on," with him as she did in the Bible class. "You will tell your mother I could not come," he said. "Yankee and father are both out, and there will be no one at home." "Well, I think you are pretty mean," said Hughie, grievously disappointed.
