I tried to do something noble and it didn't pan out, so if you are a good little pal, and a first rate sport, you will keep mam as a clam, won't you, please, Madie?" "Well, since it did not end in a tragedy I suppose I may keep quiet without breaking honor, but you know, Gracie, I am six months older than you, and I would be held accountable at a trial."
Her elder sister, Madie, appears to have been hoydenish and somewhat uncongenial to a young lady so determined to be "genteel." In the winter time communication with the outside world was almost entirely suspended. In case of emergency it was possible indeed to pass on snow shoes by Cap Tourmente, over which there was still no road, and so reach Quebec by the north shore.
"There's nothing to forgive, Madie," he muttered. "I've been awful selfish and I'm paying the penalty, that's all. You better let me go and forget me." Supposing he referred to his approaching death, Madelene cried out sharply, in protest. "No, no, Fred, you mustn't say such things. You make me feel like a murderess." She wound her arms tightly around him and kissed him stormily.
Therefore all is vanity and vexation of spirit, but God will help us and most certainly some time or other bless and reward the friendly honest man." His last letter to his Scottish relations was intended to be a farewell: Colonel Nairne to his Sister Miss M. Nairne From Murray Bay, 20th April, 1802. My Dear Madie,
I train children for the stage, you know, me and my sister, Ada Dyer; you've heard of her, I guess. The courts pay us for her keep, but it isn't much, and I'm expecting to get what I spent on her from what she makes on the stage. Two of them other children are my pupils; but they can't touch Madie. She is a better dancer an' singer than any of them.
"Yes, that was a fine idea, and I shall see to it that some day, when original work is called for, you get credit for the nature- aid heel pad. Rather a clumsy title, but when we explain how easy it is to get soft leaves to make pads for suffering feet, I am sure it will be welcome news to many an ambitious hiker." "Oh, Madie dear," suddenly exclaimed Grace. "Where are the girls gone?
I used the running bow-line, and a couple of clove hitches. Our old knots came in useful, but they didn't hold evidently. Hark! Wasn't that a whistle! Sounded like Margaret's trill." "Yes, and it's away over on the Avenue. Whatever will Captain Clark say?" "Now, Madie, you just promise you will say nothing about my man and Mrs. Johnston's wash.
She explained that Madie would not appear in the last act, only the two larger girls, so she let her sleep, with the cape of Van Bibber's cloak around her.
"You're a real good little home missionary, Madie," commented Grace, "and I'll vote for you when the mill committees are made up, only," and she puckered her pretty mouth into a rosette intended to express deep scorn, "of course we're too young, and we are only in the Tenderfoot Class." "I suppose Margaret will be picked," said Cleo, "she is fifteen and first class and has had a merit badge."
