With
unvarying
regularity
,
seconds
were
ticked
off
,
and
at
the
hundredth
,
up
went
the
eyelids
,
and
the
glowing
red
of
Robbie
's
eyes
swept
the
prospect
.
They
rested
for
a
moment
on
a
bit
of
colorful
gingham
that
protruded
from
behind
a
boulder
.
He
advanced
a
few
steps
and
convinced
himself
that
it
was
Gloria
who
squatted
behind
it
.
62
Slowly
,
remaining
always
between
Gloria
and
home-tree
,
he
advanced
on
the
hiding
place
,
and
when
Gloria
was
plainly
in
sight
and
could
no
longer
even
theorize
to
herself
that
she
was
not
seen
,
he
extended
one
arm
toward
her
,
slapping
the
other
against
his
leg
so
that
it
rang
again
.
Gloria
emerged
sulkily
.
63
"
You
peeked
!
"
she
exclaimed
,
with
gross
unfairness
.
"
Besides
I
'm
tired
of
playing
hide-and-seek
.
I
want
a
ride
.

But
Robbie
was
hurt
at
the
unjust
accusation
,
so
he
seated
himself
carefully
and
shook
his
head
ponderously
from
side
to
side
.
65
Gloria
changed
her
tone
to
one
of
gentle
coaxing
immediately
,
"
Come
on
,
Robbie
.
I
did
n't
mean
it
about
the
peeking
.
Give
me
a
ride
.
"
66
Robbie
was
not
to
be
won
over
so
easily
,
though
.
He
gazed
stubbornly
at
the
sky
,
and
shook
his
head
even
more
emphatically
.
67
"
Please
,
Robbie
,
please
give
me
a
ride
.
"
She
encircled
his
neck
with
rosy
arms
and
hugged
tightly
.
Then
,
changing
moods
in
a
moment
,
she
moved
away
.
"
If
you
do
n't
,
I
'm
going
to
cry
,
"
and
her
face
twisted
appallingly
in
preparation
.

Hard-hearted
Robbie
paid
scant
attention
to
this
dreadful
possibility
,
and
shook
his
head
a
third
time
.
Gloria
found
it
necessary
to
play
her
trump
card
.
69
"
If
you
do
n't
,
"
she
exclaimed
warmly
,
"
I
wo
n't
tell
you
any
more
stories
,
that
's
all
.
Not
one
-
"
70
Robbie
gave
in
immediately
and
unconditionally
before
this
ultimatum
,
nodding
his
head
vigorously
until
the
metal
of
his
neck
hummed
.
Carefully
,
he
raised
the
little
girl
and
placed
her
on
his
broad
,
fiat
shoulders
.
