Averil's eyes dilated, and she breathed short and fast, standing like a statue. Little Minna, whom the Doctor had scarcely perceived, standing in a dark corner, sprang forward, exclaiming, 'O, Ave, don't be afraid! Nobody can hurt him for what he did not do! The words roused Averil, and starting forward, she cried, 'Dr. May, Dr. May, you will save him!
'You are all very kind, but we must see what Henry says. 'I have spoken to Henry! He answers for our patching Leonard up for next week; and I have great faith in Dr. Neptune. Leonard's looks were as bright as Averil's were disturbed. 'Thank you, thank you very much! but can he possibly be well enough for the journey? Leonard's eyes said 'I shall. 'A week will do great things, said Dr.
'Well! said Tom, holding out his hand for more when she had restored this epistle. 'You have heard all there was in it, except 'Except what I want to see. And Ethel, as she had more or less intended all along, let him have Averil's letter, since the exception was merely a few tender words of congratulation to Mary.
The use of Averil's books, conversations with her, and the teaching she heard, disposed her more and more to profess herself a member of the Episcopal Church, and she was unable to enter into Averil's scruples at leading her to so decided a step without her father's sanction. 'Father would be satisfied whatever profession she made.
'Her work, every stitch. It has been a race with time. The gratification of Averil's flush and smile was laid up by Ethel for Gertrude's reward; but it was plain that Tom wanted complete rest for his wife, and Ethel only waited to install her in the adjoining bed-room, which was as delightfully fitted up as the first apartment.
I declare Harry has made you look quite miserable!" was her exclamation, as she ran lightly in and seated herself on the arm of Averil's chair. "Harry!" echoed Averil, in a tone of such genuine scorn that Mrs. Raymond laughed aloud. "You're very rude," she said. "Still, I'm glad Harry isn't the offender. Who is it, I wonder? But, never mind! I have a splendid piece of news for you, dear.
A message! Averil's heart stood suddenly-still. All the evil report that she had heard of this man raised its head like a serpent roused from slumber, a serpent that had hidden in her breast, and a terrible agony of fear took the place of her confidence. Carlyon waited for her answer without a sign of impatience.
The chief hope of the family lay in the speculation in which Averil's means had been embarked, which gave them a right to their present domicile, and to a part of the uncleared waste around them; and would, when Massissauga should begin to flourish, place them in affluence.
'She is most kind but under the circumstances Mary went, finding that he only hesitated. She had little opportunity for saying anything; Mrs. Pugh was full of interest and eagerness, and poured out her sympathy and perfect understanding of dear Averil's feelings; and in the midst Henry came out of the room, with a stronger version of their gratitude, but in terrible confusion.
'I beg your pardon, said Tom, shocked at Averil's nervous start, and still more shocked at her appearance. She looked like one shattered by long and severe illness; her eyes were restless and distressed, her hair thrust back as if it oppressed her temples, her manner startled and over-wrought, her hand hot and unsteady her whole air that of one totally unequal to the task before her.
