This idea lately found expression in a powerful play by Mr Lennox Robinson, entitled The Lost Leader.
Much the people had wondered where Helen was, as, without the aid of music, Katy led the children in their carols, and this wonder increased when as time passed on it was whispered around that "Miss Lennox had come and was standing with a man back by the register." After this Aunt Betsy grew very calm.
The world must have talkers as well as doers, and it can be said for Lennox that he acts as well as talks." "Thanks, I'm glad you put in the saving clause," laughed Robert. "But it's a mighty good thing we built our wooden wall. That wind would cut to the bone if it could get at you." "The wind at least will keep the warriors away," said Tayoga.

The figure of a man appeared in the woods near me and aimed a pistol at Master Lennox. I could not see his face well, but I knew it was the man on the boat who was talking to Mynheer Van Zoon.

"I do not go out a great deal myself that is, not as much as Juno but I shall be always glad to welcome you to my den. You may find something there to interest you."
Banker confirmed what Mark had said, and it was not strange if that night Miss Lennox, usually so entertaining, was a little absent, for her thoughts were up in that chamber on Twenty-third Street, where Aunt Betsy sat alone, but not lonely, for her mind was very busy with all she had been through since leaving Silverton, while something kept suggesting to her that it would have been wiser and better to have stayed at home than to have ventured where she was so sadly out of place.
