"If he is hiding anything, Jennie," said Nancy, shaking her head. And yet, after all the wonderful things that had happened to her of late, Nancy could almost believe that even the mystery of her identity might in time be solved. But Jennie Bruce came back to Pinewood Hall after the holidays with no news of importance for her roommate and chum. "I saw that red-headed boy," she said.
He had known something of Lewis's imaginary self-upbraidings, and he was prepared for them, but he was not prepared for the grey and wretched face in the lee of the pinewood. A sudden suspicion that Lewis had been guilty of some real dishonour flashed across his mind for the moment, only to be driven out with scorn. "Lewie, my son, what the deuce is wrong with you?" he cried.
Yet, once away from the presence of the kind-hearted matron, Nancy found herself no closer to her schoolmates than before. November brought dark nights and black frost. Clintondale was well up toward the Great Lakes and sometimes the winter arrives early in that part of the country. It did so this year the first of Nancy Nelson's sojourn at Pinewood Hall.
He didn't know what might happen, but his movements conveyed his opinion of the man with whom they had to deal. Arizona had been despatched with Fyles to Willow Bluff. There were wounded men there to be identified, and the officer wanted his aid in examining the battlefield. "But he'll git around to-night," Joe had said, after bringing the news to Diane. "Sure sure as pinewood breeds bugs."
Hesketh closed with assurances of the admiration and confidence he felt toward the candidate proposed to their suffrages by the Liberal party that were quite inaudible, and sought his yellow pinewood schoolroom chair with rather a forced smile.

She is so unhappy here that she was going to run away from Pinewood Hall and get work somewhere that is what she was going to do.

But she remembered that she had been forbidden to leave the building at this time of day, and that Madame Schakael had trusted her.
She panted up the hill, and as she went she paused ever and again, to rest her bundle and get her breath and stare back at the little cottage beside the pinewood below. And when at last, when she was near the crest of the hill, she saw afar off three several wasps dropping heavily westward, it helped her greatly on her way.
The warmth of passionate feeling in her face flushed it into a rose- glow that spread from chin to brow, and clasping her to his breast, he gave her the speechless answer that love inscribes on eyes and lips, then, keeping his arm tenderly about her, he led her gently into the path through the pinewood, which wound down to their favourite haunt by the sea.
You are pledged to me? Whisper!" He hears the delicious music. "And you are mine?" A soft beam travels to the fern-covert under the pinewood where they sit, and for answer he has her eyes turned to him an instant, timidly fluttering over the depths of his, and then downcast; for through her eyes her soul is naked to him. "Lucy! my bride! my life!"
"Well, Pinewood is supposed to be a school for well-connected girls. I know my mother would never have let me come had she supposed I was to be paired with a little Miss Nobody." "We ought to have our choice," sighed another of the girls. "And Grace and I were going to have such fun this half," declared Cora. One of the others giggled.
