And you didn't try, as all the rest of them would, to act silly too. You couldn't have done it; and you didn't try. Oh, you may have felt it I know!" She smiled one of her quaint and quizzical smiles. "But men aren't built for foolishness. They have to leave that to us. You've been very nice this afternoon; and it's helped a lot. I'm good for quite a long stretch now. Good-night."
"You are talking nonsense, Polly; please don't be tiresome any more to-night," Mrs. O'Neill urged, lying down on the sofa again, as though she were too weary to be up another minute. "I can't discuss the matter with you, but Mr. Wharton has been too kind for me to refuse him this request." Betty found her blue cloak again and softly slipped over to kiss the older woman good-night.
I feel better now, and I'm leaving it all to God, who understands such situations as mine and Father's. Good-night, leather friend. Somewhere back on your pages, Louise, I wrote that I was going to be thankful for the happiness and friends that I had, no matter what happened, and I am. It has happened.
"I would do anything to please you, Sara, except" with a sudden tense decision "except interfere with the course of justice. Let every man pay the penalty for his own sin." "That's a hard creed," objected Sara. "Hard?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps it is. But" grimly "it's the only creed I believe in. Good-night" he held out his hand abruptly.
Barrois, who wished to go to bed himself, observed that after such sad events every one stood in need of rest. Noirtier would not say that the only rest he needed was to see his child, but wished her good-night, for grief and fatigue had made her appear quite ill.
Tom and me was to sleep in the same room and bed; so, being tired, we bid good-night and went up to bed right after supper, and clumb out of the window and down the lightning-rod, and shoved for the town; for I didn't believe anybody was going to give the king and the duke a hint, and so if I didn't hurry up and give them one they'd get into trouble sure.
For it so happened that the woman in her whom to use her own phrase she had condemned to solitary confinement in the back attic, beat very violently against her prison door just then in attempt to escape. "Dear Cousin Katherine, good-night. Good-night, Richard," she said hurriedly.
"It's mum with me so long as I see you living on the straight," said the captain. "But, by the Lord! if you get off after this, it's another story! So good-night to you and good-night, Councillor." He left the bar-room; but not before he had created a local hero. McMurdo's deeds in far Chicago had been whispered before.
"I'd rather not just at present," she interrupted, in immediate agitation. "Good-night I'll have to go in." She fled up the steps, found the door ajar, and pushing it open, stood framed by the light for a moment, as she turned to look back where he was standing. Only for a moment did she hover there, however. He could not see her face as she saw his.
They were as unquiet as cattle before an approaching storm, and when they returned to the drawing-room it seemed to him like a scene in a theatre about to be withdrawn to make way for another part of the story. Even while looking at it, it seemed to have receded a little. At last it was time for Ulick to go. As they said good-night he asked her if he should come to lunch.
