Margaret would have given anything to kneel down and whisper in those passionless ears all that she suffered, but the priest's faith and hers were not the same. They spoke a different tongue, not of the lips only but of the soul, and he would not listen to the words of an heretic.
She walked along with a haughtiness her Aunt Margaret might have envied and took not the smallest notice when a little turbulent fox-terrier, with many squeaks and squirms, wriggled through a hole in the fence and came bounding towards her. And she turned her head and gazed absorbedly across the fields when it was followed by a boy who pitched himself over the fence and crossed to her side.
The old man stood bareheaded in the sun, leaning on his stick at the front of his cottage. His stiff features relaxed into a slow smile as Margaret went up and spoke to him. Mr.
Mike said. "If he was not in sympathy with my belief that it was not a dream, he might unconsciously affect you he would probably tell you much that I would rather you didn't know until we find out more." Margaret gave her promise willingly. Michael's reason seemed to her such a justifiable one that their secret might be kept even from Freddy.
Also, he was one of those unobservant people who, having once formed an impression of a person, do not revise it except under compulsion; his last observation of Margaret had resulted in an impression of good looks, exceptional charm.
Will you sit down, and let me speak to you for a few minutes?" It was impossible to refuse. Margaret sank down, while he shut the door. "I hear," said he, "that you are already thinking of returning to Birmingham. Is this true?" "Yes: we shall go home in a few days." "Then, before you leave us, will you allow me to ask your advice ?"
Margaret was miserable; she cried a little, clung to Beatrice, and then was ashamed of herself. "My dear child," said the other. "It is in your hands. You can do as you please." "But I cannot," sobbed the nun. "I cannot; I do not know. Let me come with you, Beatrice." Beatrice then settled down and talked to her.
"But I admit that it was difficult for Freddy to look at it in that light." "It's so hard to explain over the 'phone," Margaret said. "And indeed, it isn't what he has told me so much it's just what he makes me feel." "I know, dear. I feel it's all right I always felt it was." "He has been absolutely true, Hadassah. Freddy must know that now. And you know, I can afford to marry."
"Well, for one thing he could have taken her to the Margaret Louise Home, that branch of the Y.W.C.A., on Sixteenth Street, only a few blocks from where he found her." "Oh! Edith," Mary remonstrated. "The Maggie Lou! And you know they would not admit her. Who would take a friendless girl to any sort of an institution at this season? John couldn't have done it!
Is that why your spirit has returned to earth?" "My spirit is with Aton, the master of that which is ordained. I have come to deliver a message; it is for you." "For me?" Margaret said. "I know nothing at all about Egypt." "That is not necessary. Aton's love is great and large. It filled the two lands of Egypt; it fills the world to-day." "But I am ignorant.
