I didn't exactly make it out, but it seems that she came all because of you and on account of you; and the ladies didn't understand it, and Mrs Kilbannon came to me. My word, but there was a woman to deal with! Who was this young lady, and what was she to you that she should go anywhere or do anything in your name? Without doubt" he put up a staying hand "it was foolish of Advena.
She stood before a long low window, looking out into the garden and the light, filtering through apple branches on her face showed her strongly featured and intelligent for fourteen. Advena was named after one grandmother; when the next girl came Mrs Murchison, to make an end of the matter, named it Abigail, after the other.
Dr Drummond had his own method of reconciling foreordination and free will. To Advena his supplication came with that mysterious double emphasis of chance words that fit. Her thought played upon them all through the sermon, rejecting and rejecting again their application and their argument and the spring of hope in them.
"I wonder," said Advena, "where it goes?" "Into the void behind time?" he suggested, smiling straight at her. "Into the texture of the future," she answered, smiling back. "We might bring it to bear very intelligently on the future, at any rate," he returned. "The world is wrapped in destiny, and but revolves to roll it out." "I don't remember that," she said curiously.
She came nearer to him again and caught with her two hands the lapels of his coat. He closed his own over them and looked down at her in that half-detachment, which still claimed and held her. "Advena," he whispered, out of the sudden clamour in his mind, "she can't be she isn't nothing has happened to her?"
But I'd got more or less used to it," she confessed. "The man's well enough in some ways. Dear knows there would be a pair of them one's as much of a muddler as the other! And anybody can see with half an eye that Advena likes him. It hasn't turned out as I expected, that's a fact, John, and I'm just very much annoyed."
"Could he have meant Mrs Farquharson and Miss Milburn?" asked Mr Murchison quietly, when the derision subsided; and they laughed again. "He told me," said Advena, "that he proposed to convert Mr Milburn to the imperial policy." "He'll have his job cut out for him," said her father. "For my part," Abby told them, "I think the Milburns are beneath contempt.
Lorne and Advena Murchison never had the quarter, so they witnessed few lacrosse matches, though they seldom failed to refresh themselves by a sight of the players after the game when, crimson and perspiring, but still glorious in striped jerseys, their lacrosses and running shoes slung over one shoulder, these heroes left the field.
"To see his court suit stolen," Advena finished for him. "As Disraeli said wasn't it Disraeli?" She heard, and hated the note of constraint in her voice. "Am I reduced," she thought, indignantly, "to falsetto?" and chose, since she must choose, the betrayal of silence. "It did one good to hear the question discussed on the higher level," said Lorne.
"And a little on the size of the man," remarked Advena. "He said he would be willing to take a seat in a Legislature and work up," Alec went on. "Ontario for choice, because he thought the people of this Province more advanced." "There's a representative committee being formed to give the inhabitants of the poor-house a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day," said Advena. "He might begin with that."
