To sum up, my dear Clarry, if you had remembered the extreme emotionalism of your sister Lorraine's temperament and the er eccentricity of her housekeeping, you would not have permitted yourself to be so sadly misled. Not remembering it, you've done a lot of mischief. All these things being so, no one will believe them.
Where they had fought was the smoldering ruin of a great tree, and standing out of the ruin of that tree, half naked, his hands tearing wildly at his face, was O'Grady. Jan's fingers clutched at a small rock. He called out, but there was no meaning to the sound he made. Clarry O'Grady threw out his great arms. "Jan Jan Larose " he cried. "My God, don't strike now! I'm blind blind "
Bible stories and Watt's hymns were more to Clarence than even to me, and he used to ask questions for which Gooch's theology was quite insufficient, and which brought the invariable answers, 'Now, Master Clarry, I never did! Little boys should not ask such questions! 'What's the use of your pretending, sir! It's all falseness, that's what it is!
Then he went out, leaving Marie standing there white and silent. He did not go back. He had sworn never to do that, and during the weeks that followed it spread about that Marie Cummins had turned down Jan Larose, and that Clarry O'Grady was now the lucky man.
She had burst out of her own room in her dressing-gown, and flung herself upon her brother as he was plodding wearily upstairs in the dark, clinging round his neck sobbing, 'Dear, dear Clarry! I can't bear it! I don't care. You're my own dear brother, and they are all wicked, horrid people.
My father's kindness had seemed to him the pledge of the Heavenly Father's forgiveness; and he added, perhaps a little childishly, that it had been his impulse to promise never to touch a card again, but that he dreaded the only too familiar reply, 'What availed his promises? 'Do promise, Clarry! cried Emily, 'and then you won't have to play with that tiresome old Mrs. Sophia.
'Yes, Topham! she exploded, as though finishing an harangue. 'And on this day of all days you choose to drive geese in the public road behind my carriage! Jos was stupefied, annihilated. 'Did you see me, then, Clarry? He vainly tried to carry it off. 'Did I see you? Of course I saw you! She withered him up with the hot wind of scorn.
For in some mysterious manner rumor of the girl had got abroad, passing from lip to lip, until even the children knew that there was some other thing than gold that would play a part in the fight between Clarry O'Grady and Jan Larose. On the surface it was not scheduled to be a fight with fists or guns.
'It did seem so odd, she said, 'that Clarry should be so much the best, and yet so much the worst of us. I agreed. His insight into spiritual things, and his enjoyment of them, always humiliated us both, yet he fell so much lower in practice, 'But then we had not his temptations. 'Yes, said Emily; 'but look at Griff!
It seems as if Calais oughtn't to be any farther from Paris than Dover is from London. There's something lop-sided in it. I read the papers all the way. Where's Clarry?"
