NORAD Santa Tracker FANCY MENUS FOR DINNER. The boys gazed at each other and Maurice's chuckle echoed Billy's, although it was raspy and hoarse.,Now the unrest and uncertainty which had overshadowed Scotia for months had been miraculously lifted and in its place was rest and certainty. Sorrow and pity for the man who had been stricken with blindness gave place to joy and congratulation. Swifter-winged than the harbinger of sorrow, which sometimes falters in its flight as though loath to cause a jarring note deep within God's harmony, flashed the joyful news that Frank Stanhope had come into his inheritance and would see again. For a week following the wonderful news the people of the Settlement did little else than discuss it together. Man, woman and child they came to the vine-covered cottage to tell Stanhope they were glad.,Captain Acton walked into his house and sought his sister, whom he found alone in the dining-room. She was seated on a high-backed chair knitting. Her own and Lucy's dog lay at her feet. She started at the entrance of Captain Acton, dropped her knitting in her lap, and half rose at her brother, clutching the arms of the chair.,"He's awful mad," grinned Billy. "He's been keepin' this find to himself fer a long time." At sound of his master's voice Croaker paused in his harangue and promptly changed his tactics. He swooped down to Billy's shoulder and rubbed the top of his glossy head against the boy's cheek, whispering low and lying terms of endearment.,“It’s a hurry-up order for more,” Billy amended.，"Go an' tell Croaker an' Ringdo the whole business, an' let that crow an' swamp-coon 'tend to you."，"Why not?

"See here, Pa," he cried, "I happen to know one er two things about Hinter that I don't like.

I don't know but what I do mind. What if you should take a notion, some day, to carve up the side of this buildin', hey?",Just then the door was opened, and the footman announced "Admiral Sir William Lawrence.","Dinner will be ready in a few minutes: of course we shall excuse your dressing to-night," says Lady Rodney, addressing her son far more than Mona, though the words presumably are meant for her. Whereupon Mona, rising from her chair with a sigh of relief, follows Geoffrey out of the room and upstairs.,CHAPTER XV BILLY'S PROBLEMS MULTIPLY,The Admiral just now happened to be at dinner.
