Traveling steadily, for goodness knows how many hours, in a bumping coach, would wear out the patience of a saint and you know I'm not a saint!" "No," said Mr. Walraven; "very far from it. Nearer the other thing, I suspect." "Now, guardy," said Mollie, reproachfully, "how can you? And after I've been lost, and you've been all distracted about me, too!
I told you this was my time. When we get settled, you can order things; but now I'm going to see that you get enough to eat while you're working so hard." Leslie's eyes danced with her dimples as Julia Cloud appealed to her to stop this extravagance. "That's all right, Cloudy. I heard Guardy Lud tell Al not to spare any expense to make things comfortable for you while you were moving."
"Guardy had us taught ages ago, and we're driven a lot; only of course we didn't have our own car. We just had the regular car that belongs to the house. But we made that work some. And Allison took a full course in cars. He knows how to repair them, and put them together, and everything." "Shall I let her go, Cloudy?" asked Allison eagerly. "Will you be afraid?"
"I was taken somewhere, and I don't know where 'pon my word and honor, I don't and I was kept a prisoner in a nasty room, by people I don't know, to punish me for flirting, I was told; and when I was there two weeks, and punished sufficiently, Heaven knows, I was fetched home. Guardy, there's everything I know or can tell you about the matter.
"My dear," put in Julia Cloud, "it can't help being very expensive " "Now, Cloudy, remember!" said Leslie, holding up her finger in mock rebuke. "Just wait and see! And, anyhow, you don't know Guardy Lud. If he could see us located in a peach of a home like this, he'd go back to his growley old dear of a wife with happy tears rolling down his nice old cheeks.
He's promised to take mother and me to the theatre and supper afterwards. Won't it be scrummy! Only, I haven't anything to go in." Old Heythorp said: "What do you want? Irish poplin?" Her mouth opened wide: "Oh! Guardy! Soft white satin!" "How many yards'll go round you?" "I should think about twelve. We could make it ourselves. You are a chook!"
I desire you to tell us." "And if I don't, guardy?" She looked up at him rather defiantly seated on a low stool, her elfish chin in her elfish hand, her pretty little rose-bloom face peeping brightly out from the scented yellow curls. "Mollie!" "Guardy, see here: it's of no use getting cross. I can't tell you where I've been, because I don't know myself." "Mollie!"
"All the better for that, no doubt," said Guardy Lud thoughtfully, watching Jane Bristol's sweet smile as she talked over some committee plans with Allison. "I should say they were about as wholesome a couple of young people as could be found to match your two. Just keep 'em to that kind for a year or two more, and they'll choose that kind for life.
It ran: "DEAREST GUARDY, I'm sorry this is such a mangy little valentine; I couldn't go out to get it because I've got a beastly cold, so I asked Jock, and the pig bought this. The satin is simply scrumptious. If you don't come and see me in it some time soon, I shall come and show it to you.
Naturally I asked him what kind of an epidemic it was. He said he didn't know, but he was sure the place was dangerous, and he was surprised that Uncle Guardy hadn't warned me. Uncle Guardy had, but I don't do everything I'm warned about. So then I asked young Mr. "Meddlesome child! Can you never learn to keep your hands off?" "I was spurring him to his editorial duties.
