I didn't tell you, did I, that after I took the fan away from him, I dropped him into the fountain? I had much rather have tied him to a stake, and have built a fire under him, but that isn't civilized, and of course, I couldn't. But I am glad I dropped him in the fountain " Becky read Randy's letter as she sat alone on the beach. It was cool and sunshiny and she was wrapped in a red cape.
Thinking it to be some old and mossy log, he shifted his torch to the other hand, and was preparing to step over the obstacle whatever it might be, when, as the smoke blew backward, the flaming torch revealed the sleeping children, Prue still holding Randy's letter in her hand, Hi with a protecting arm about his little companion. "Well, of all the pretty sights!" he ejaculated.
To receive an invitation from Miss Dayton meant much, and Randy's friends talked of little else. "What shall you wear, Nina," asked Polly Lawrence. "Whatever mama suggests," replied Nina, with a laugh. "Because," continued Polly, "I think we ought to dress, well in a very showy manner, for Miss Dayton." "Why, I do not see that," remarked another girl.
Soon the Jolly Rovers rounded the upper point of Independence Island and paddled on by the city shores until the porch of Randy's boat house hove in view. Ned was first to reach the float, and stepping out of his canoe he seized the pennant and waved it aloft. "The cruise of the Jolly Rovers is ended," he cried. "May we make another like it!" "And never a shorter one!" added Randy.
Kemp's honest eyes met Randy's burning glance. "No, I am not afraid. I am leaving his service, sir." They stared at him. "Leaving his service, why?" Randy demanded. "He called me a fool this morning. And I am not a fool, sir." "What made him say that?" Randy asked, with interest. "He ordered a kidney omelette for breakfast, and I brought it, and he wouldn't eat it, and blamed me.
"Yes," he said reflectively; "I used to walk in my sleep sometimes, but that was long ago. I thought the habit was broken." "Don't you remember anything about this affair?" resumed Ned. "You must have taken Randy's gun and left the tent without waking us." "Yes; I have a sort of recollection of it," answered Nugget sheepishly. "I guess I must have been dreaming.
"How lovely she is," thought Aunt Marcia, as Randy with Helen ascended the staircase toward the room which was to be Randy's own, during her stay in Boston. "How handsome your dear old aunt is," said Randy to Helen, as they walked along the upper hall. "Her hair is like the frost, and her eyes just twinkle, twinkle, like stars when the night is cold." "Why, what a pretty thought," said Helen.
"I want some supper," exclaimed a very energetic little voice and the mother sprang forward to take her lost one in her arms. "Oh Prue, don't ye leave us again," she cried, her tears dropping upon the soft curls. "But I was going to get my Randy and bring her home to you," said Prue, "and I forgot that when I was away to Randy's there wouldn't be any girls to take care of you 'n Tabby."
"Randy," she was a bit breathless, "here we are. Mr. Dalton and I. I saw you on the ridge. You have no idea how tall your shadow seemed " She was talking in that clear light voice which was not her own. Dalton said sullenly, "Hello, Paine." And Randy's heart was singing, "She called me." The three of them walked to the house together. Becky had insisted that she must go back to her guests.
So at a bend of the road they parted, Jotham happy in the thought that he had a part in one of Randy's plans, and at the same time doing her bidding, and Randy wondering if Molly's delight when she looked at her gifts would be as great as that which she had herself experienced in sending them.
