The following morning he went on board the Phoebe, where the mortification of defeat drew tears from his eyes; a state of dejection from which he was roused by seeing a pet pig belonging to the Essex in the custody of one of the Phoebe's midshipmen. Farragut at once set up a claim to the porker as being private property, and as such to be respected by all civilized nations.
A letter from Fenwick to this young man, containing a number of questions as to his conversation with Phoebe, and written immediately after Phoebe's flight, obtained an answer after some three or four months, but Tolson's reply was wholly unprofitable. He merely avowed that he had discovered nothing at all of Phoebe's intention, and could throw no light whatever upon her disappearance.
She felt that she had obligations to all of them, to the parson-father for submitting to her presence, nay, encouraging it, and to Ursula for receiving her with that affectionate fervour of friendship which had completely changed the tenor of Phoebe's life at Carlingford. She was obliged to them, and she knew that she was obliged to them.
The blunt message he had intrusted to Georgianna would, he believed, arouse Phoebe's indignation. She would not call again. And when he returned to Bos'n, it would be to take up the child's fight alone. If he lost that fight, or WHEN he lost it, he would close the Cy Whittaker place, and leave Bayport for good.
"You aren't angry, are you, Aunt Phoebe?" she coaxed. "You you know you said you wanted me to be par-TIC-ularly nice to Grant!" "Great grief, child! You needn't choke me to death. Of course I'm not angry." But Phoebe's eyes did not brighten. "You look angry," Evadna pouted, and kissed her placatingly. "I've got plenty to be worked up over, without worrying over your love affairs, Vadnie."
"I was asleeb and when I wog, I was wit rope tied." "Who cut the rope?" asked Dr. Hume, beginning to doubt the whole story. "A gentlemans who mag to play music on the zither." "Phoebe's father!" exclaimed the girls. They glanced at each other with a wild surmise. "It couldn't have been " "No, no, I'm sure he never would " "Hush," said Ben, "here comes Phoebe."
But the blame for poor Phoebe's bewilderment clearly lay with the minister himself, for in placing the figure upon the board with the letters designating the isosceles triangle he made the fatal blunder of setting the letter B at the right hand side of the base instead of at its proper place at the left, as in the book.
A quick flush rose to Phoebe's cheeks and she laughed as she collected her notebook and pinned down her veil all at the same tune with a view to instant flight. She gave neither the major nor Tempie time for remonstrance. "Good-by!" she called from the hall. "I only came in to tell Mrs.
Crying still, in little whimpers which consoled her, she stole through the garden and the house to the beautiful solitude of Phoebe's room and the cleanliness of linen sheets. Supperless she lay there, by turn welcoming and rejecting the pictures which appeared on the dark wall of her mind, and when Helen knocked on the door she was not bidden to enter.
I'm just fond of them." For a second Phoebe regarded her from under veiled eyes, then said guardedly, "Doesn't that give them rather the advantage to start with if you let them find it out?" "Yes," answered Caroline as she pressed her cheek against Phoebe's arm, "I know it does but I can't help it. I have to trust to them to understand."
