A thick lock of his heavy hair had shaken down over his forehead, giving him a strangely piratical look. "Not much I won't," he told her. "So I ain't good enough " All at once Rose-Marie felt the blindness of rage unreasoning, deadly anger. Only two things she knew that she hated Jim and that she would not let him kiss her. She spoke sudden defiant words that surprised even herself.
He was fondling a kitten that thin gray one that you brought to the Settlement House, Miss Rose-Marie. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was hunting for a Scout Club that he'd heard about. I" the Young Doctor chuckled "I engaged him in conversation. And he told me that his ambition was to be a combination of St. George and King Arthur and all the rest of those fellows.
I am sure you have powers that are denied to us." Rose-Marie Gilpet was thoroughly sincere in her adherence to Christian Science principles; whether she understood or correctly expounded them the learned in such matters may best decide.
I expect that we'll manage, somehow, but I don't just fancy cooking and sweeping, and running the Settlement House, too!" All at once an idea leaped, full-blown, into the brain of Rose-Marie. She leaned forward and laid her hand upon the Superintendent's arm. "I wonder," she asked excitedly, "if you'd consider a woman with a family to take Katie's place?
The door swung open with a startling suddenness, and Rose-Marie sprang forward, her hands outstretched. Framed in the battered wood stood Bennie the tears streaking his face and behind him was the Young Doctor. So tall he seemed, so capable, so strong, standing there, that Rose-Marie felt as if her troubles had been lifted, magically, from her shoulders.
"I don't think that I'll stay," she said hurriedly, "I'm too tired, after all! I think " The Superintendent had paused in her progress to the door. Her voice was surprisingly firm, of a sudden; firmer than Rose-Marie had ever heard it. "No, my dear," said the Superintendent, "you're not too tired! You just don't want to be civil to a very fine boy who has had a harder day than either of us.
Rose-Marie, watching the play of expression across his keen dark face, was struck, first of all by his sincerity. It was only after a moment that she began to feel the old resentment creeping back. "Then," she said at last, very slowly, "then you think that I'm worthless here? It seems to me that I can help the people more, just because I am fresh, and untried, and not in the least bitter!
Blanchard, don't say they are soulless. Don't " All at once the Young Doctor's hand was banging upon the table. All at once his voice was vehemently raised. "It's the difference in our point of view, Miss Thompson," he told Rose-Marie, "and I'm afraid that I'm right and that you're not right.
"Ella, she act so funny, lately," she told Rose-Marie, "an' there is some feller; Bennie, he tell me that he have seen her wit' some feller! A rich feller, maybe; maybe he puts Ella up to her funny business!" There were sounds of activity from the inner room, as if clothing was being torn down from hooks as if heavy garments were being flung into bags.
"Then you think that I'll be able to help?" she questioned. The Young Doctor was remembering or forgetting many things. "I know that you will!" he said, and he spoke as softly as she had done. "I know that you will!" They went, together, with Lily, into the inner room. And as the Young Doctor closed the door, Rose-Marie knew a very real throb of triumph.
