Bob's acquaintance with Lilas Lynn had been far from pleasant; she had repaid his kindness with treachery, and now, although he was not a callous person, he could not pretend that his pity exceeded his relief.
Billy always was headstrong, and he's getting worse every day." "I'm sure you do your best, Miss Saxon, and I'm sure Billy will turn out a fine man some day. My Lynn thinks a great deal of him. She feels he's growing very thoughtful and manly." "Does she now?" the tired pink face was lifted damply with a ray of cheer. Then the telephone bell rang. Mrs. Severn rose and excused herself to answer it.
Olive Lynn, seeing her confusion, but not understanding its cause, tried good-naturedly to put her at her ease. "I think I saw you on the river last night, didn't I? We were in a canoe, and you and Mr. Rose were punting." "Oh yes!" Toni, still wrestling with her problem, answered rather vaguely. "We we had taken tea with us and were late home." "That's so jolly, isn't it?" Olive smiled.
"I think, dear, the vultures will all be in Economy to-day." "All except Mrs. Frost, mother dear. She can't get away. But she can always run across the street to borrow a cup of soda." So Lynn knelt for a moment in her quiet room, then came down, kissed her mother and father with a face of brave serenity, and went down the maple shaded street with her silk work bag in her hand. And none too soon.
But everything is running smoothly there and Barry is turning out trumps, too. He has grasped the whole thing as I never expected him to do. He's going to get a bigger salary almost at once, and then I suppose he will marry Miss Lynn." He gave a sudden exclamation as the car swerved aside to avoid a lumbering cart which took up more than its share of the road.
Our Lord said: "Daughter, thou hast desired in thy mind to have many priests in the town of Lynn, that might sing and read night and day for to serve Me, worship Me, and praise Me, and thank Me for the goodness that I have done to thee in earth; and therefore, daughter, I promise thee that thou shalt have meed and reward in heaven for the good wills and good desires, as if thou haddest done them in deed.
Olive Lynn, who had possibly never met these small creatures in their native armour before, hesitated, casting a look at Barry at the same moment; but he was engaged in handing Lady Martin some bread and butter; and Olive's appeal went unanswered.
Presently the group on the Lynn door-step began to talk about him, leading up to the subject from the fragrance of the lilies. "Them lilies is so sweet they are sickish," said the old grandmother. "Yes, they be dreadful sickish," said Mrs. Lynn. Mrs. Wilford Biggs and Mr. Mangam, as usual, said nothing. "Hyacinthus is home, I see," said Mrs. Lynn.
You know awhile back when Miss Lynn was off to college that Mr. Harricutt had the boys' class, an' I couldn't get him to go anyhow. Why, once I offered to pay him so he could save fer a baseball bat if he'd go, but do you know he said he'd rather go without baseball bats fer ever than go listen to that old Well, Mrs. Severn, I won't repeat what he said.
Why should he lend a more than quarter ear as usual to the chatter of two little bits of girls? How should he know the demure holland frocks beside him covered revolutionists? Hugh started off his first party, Paul and Lynn, Muffie and Max and Miss Bibby. The children besought him to come, too.
