It would be news of interest at Dr Drummond's also; but it was of no consequence, within an hour or so, when they should receive it there, while it was of great consequence that Advena should hear it at the earliest opportunity, and from him. There is no weighing or analysing the burden of such a necessity as this.
She has now these," and he nodded at a window open to the yellow west. Advena looked with him. "Oh, if you have a creative imagination," she said "like Wallingham's. But even then your vision must be only political economic, material. You can't conceive the flowers that will come out of all that. And if you could it wouldn't be like having them."
"I shall try to consecrate my marriage," he said presently, more to himself than to Advena. Her thought told him bitterly: "I am afraid it is the only thing you can do with it," but something else came to her lips. "I have not congratulated you. I am not sure," she went on, with astonishing candour, "whether I can. But I wish you happiness with all my heart. Are you happy now?"
It was to her a normal, natural thing that a friend of Hugh Finlay's should bring an early welcome to his bride; and to do the normal, natural thing at keen personal cost was to sound that depth, or rise to that height of the spirit where pain sustains. We know of Advena that she was prone to this form of exaltation.
Only he keeps on worrying about the people of England, and whether they'll make enough by it to keep them contented, till he can't next month all right, he wants it to be distinctly understood that family connection has nothing to do with it." "Of course it hasn't," Advena said. "But we're just as much obliged," remarked Stella.
In the seated throng Lorne could pick out the fine head of his father, and his mother's face, bright with anticipation, beside. Advena was there, too, and Stella; and the boys would have a perch, not too conspicuous, somewhere in the gallery.
It was pride, pure and simple, Finlay, that made her tell you that and she'll be a sorry woman if you act on it." "No," said Finlay, suddenly looking up, "I may know little about women, but I know more about Advena Murchison than that. She advised me in the sense she thought right and honourable, and her advice was sincere.
They had produced nothing abnormal, but they had to prove that they weren't going to, and Stella was the last and most convincing demonstration. Advena, bookish and unconventional, was regarded with dubiety. She was out of the type; she had queer satisfactions and enthusiasms. Once as a little girl she had taken a papoose from a drunken squaw and brought it home for her mother to adopt.
She is a managing woman; but she can nearly always prove herself right. Her mind ran a great deal, a little too much perhaps, upon creature comforts, and I suppose she thought that in emigrating a man might do well to companion himself." "That was prudent of her," said Advena. He turned a look upon her. "You are not making a mock of it?" he said. "I am not making a mock of it."
"That's the name," remarked Advena, "that he probably votes under." "Well," said Mrs Murchison, "it was very kind of Squire Ormiston to give Lorne his support, but it seems to me that as far as Moneida is concerned he would have done better alone." "No, I guess he wouldn't, Mother," said Alec. "Moneida came right round with the Squire, outside the Reserve.
