e most decided intention. But that same Nature has the deep cunning which hides itself under the appearance of openness, so that simple people think they can see through her quite well, and all the while she is secretly preparing a refutation of their confident prophecies. Under these average boyish physiognomies that she seems to turn off by the gross, she conceals some of her most rigid, inflexible purposes, some of her most unmodifiable characters; and the dark-eyed, demonstrative, rebellious girl may after all turn out to be a passive being compared with this pink-and-white bit of masculinity with the indeterminate features.
“Maggie,” said Tom, confidentially,Edinson Cavani Drakt, taking her into a corner, as soon as his mother was gone out to examine his box and the warm parlor had taken off the chill he had felt from the long drive, “you don’t know what I’ve got in my pockets,” nodding his head up and down as a means of rousing her sense of mystery.
“No,” said Maggie. “How stodgy they look, Tom! Is it marls (marbles) or cobnuts?” Maggie’s heart sank a little, because Tom always said it was “no good” playing with her at those games, she played so badly.
“Marls! no; I’ve swopped all my marls with the little fellows,Parajumpers Männer Kobuk Jacken Schweiz, and cobnuts are no fun, you silly, only when the nuts are green. But see here!” He drew something half out of his right-hand pocket.
“What is it?” said Maggie, in a whisper. “I can see nothing but a bit of yellow.”
“Why, it’s — a — new — guess, Maggie!”
“Oh, I can’t guess, Tom,Canada Goose Chilliwack Bomber,” said Maggie, impatiently.
“Don’t be a spitfire, else I won’t tell you,” said Tom,Parajumpers Muži Deer, thrusting his hand back into his pocket and looking determined.
“No, Tom,” said Maggie, imploringly, laying hold of the arm that was held stiffly in the pocket. “I’m not cross, Tom; it was only because I can’t bear guessing. Please be good to me.”
Tom’s arm slowly relaxed, and he said, “Well, then, it’s a new fish-line — two new uns — one for you,UGG Classic Short Czyścibut 5825, Maggie, all to yourself. I wouldn’t go halves in the toffee and gingerbread on purpose to save the money; and Gibson and Spouncer fought with me because I wouldn’t. And here’s hooks; see here — I say,Parajumpers Damen Irene, won’t we go and fish to-morrow down by the Round Pool? And you shall catch your own fish,Frankrikesco Totti Drakt, Maggie and put the worms on, and everything; won’t it be fun?”
Maggie’s answer was to throw her arms round Tom’s neck and hug him, and hold her cheek against his without speaking,Nike Kobe 9 Elite High-Top Męskie, while he slowly unwound some of the line,Dame Moncler Mengs, saying,Kurtka W Dół, after a pause —
“Wasn’t I a good brother, now, to buy you a line all to yourself? You know, I needn’t have bought it, if I hadn’t liked.”
“Yes,Classic Mini Czyścibut 5854, very, very good — I do love you, Tom.”
Tom had put the line back in his pocket,Moncler Mêskie 2015-2016, and was looking at the hooks one by one, before he spoke again.
“And the fellows fought me, because I wouldn’t give in about the toffee.”
“Oh, dear! I wish they wouldn’t fight at your school, Tom. Didn’t it hurt you
