n they remember that Theo gave
away the first bird-singer Jerry presented to her to Mrs. Vesey, as a
Northbourne keepsake, when she left the Vicarage.
And the Carnegy boys?
Well, they are making the most of their freedom this summer, as next
term they set out on a public-school career. They have not been idle
this past year, and Philip Price knows they will not disgrace him when
confronted with more strict examiners than himself. Alick, in
particular, has been diligent, and being endowed with plenty of brains,
his father and Theo are full of hope regarding his future.
Better still, Alick's heart is a changed one. By God's grace his
footsteps are set in the right path. No more rebellious outbursts will
there be against those whom the will of God has set over him. A sharp
lesson taught him the world's cruel hardness to the defenceless, and
showed the true value of a good father and a pure home.
Geoff, ready as ever to take his colour from his surroundings, has been
treading steadily on his altered brother's heels in the 'narrow way.'
And now our sojourn in breezy little Northbourne is over, and we must
say farewell to its fisher-folk. Some of us may, perchance, meet the
Carnegy boys on life's journey; who can say? But the
stay-at-homes--the stalwart, active Ned Dempster, now one of Fletcher's
boat-crew; the bird-trainer, Jerry Blunt; the families of the Bunk and
the Vicarage,--to one and all we must say good-bye, which is 'God be
with them!'
