'Lumberers, explained Ina, pricking his ears. He would have immediately turned in a contrary direction; but the prospect of seeing a new phase of life was a strong temptation to Captain Argent, so they went forward towards a smoke that curled above a knot of pines.
"I am very proud of such a conquest," said she. From that hour Ina was the landlady's pet. The room and piano were made over to her, and, being in a great fright at what she had undertaken, she studied and practiced her part night and day. She made Ashmead call a rehearsal next day, and she came home from it wretched and almost hysterical.
They told her that she ought to be ashamed when papa wanted to give them all a treat. She sat silent, frowning, put-upon. "Look, mamma!" cried Monona, swallowing a third of an egg at one impulse. Ina saw only the empty plate. "Mamma's nice little girl!" cried she, shining upon her child.
If it was Dwight and they didn't know whether he had another wife, or not, and you wanted to ask him oh, don't you see? Help me." Ina was not yet the woman to cry for justice for its own sake, nor even to stand by another woman. She was primitive, and her instinct was to look to her own male merely. "Well," she said, "of course. But why not let Dwight do it in his own way?
The other man's black eyes were fixed with a sort of tender hunger on Ina, who hung back a little as she and Charlotte approached the carriage.

Ina blushed a good deal, and smiled rather tremulously when her turn came and her little hand was enveloped in the man's eager one.

She felt as if she had been attacked and completely routed by a creature considerably smaller, but infinitely more virile, more valiant, than herself. Ina did not speak to her again for several minutes.
"How funny you talk, Barbie," Skeet quavered. "What do you think's wrong?" And Ina spoke decidedly, "Worth is one person in the world who can certainly take care of himself, and would rather be let alone." "If you think there is anything we should do ?" Vandeman began anxiously, and Skeet took a look around at our faces and fairly wailed, "What is it? What's the matter?
"There is no use in speaking at all," said Anna, wearily. "There never was. I am tired of this life and everything connected with it." Ina was weeping again convulsively. She also had put her hands to her ears, and her piteous little wet, quivering face was revealed. "There is no need of either of you stopping up your ears," said Charlotte. "You won't hear anything except the blows.
After one desperate glance toward the girl up on the platform, Ina ran to him and put a hand on his arm. "They stopped the march.... Your the they spoiled our joke. But have them start the music again. You're here now. Let's go on with the march ... explain afterward." "Good business!"
