Hit wah cuz you all wah done woah out las' night. Hit wah Misteh Shulley from Grass Riveh, suh. He said hit wah Misteh Asheh Aydelot's wife " "For the love of God!" Horace Carey cried hoarsely, springing up. "Do you know who Mrs. Aydelot is, Bo Peep?" "No, suh; neveh see huh." "She was Virginia Thaine of the old Thaine family back at home." Bo Peep did not sit down. He fell in a heap at Dr.
The second generation gave little thought to what was filling the minds of the first settlers tonight. The company was a large one and a dozen years later more than one young matron remembered Thaine Aydelot's birthday party as the beginning of a romance that ended happily for her.
They took no account of Alice, who must be the greatest loser. And after they were married, both mothers-in-law were disappointed, for the Leigh farm was heavily incumbered and sold by the sheriff the same fall, and the Shirley House fell into Uncle Francis Aydelot's hands in about the same way. Love of property can be the root of much misery."
It was the man's way of being friendly, but even a duller-fibred man than Champers would have understood Mrs. Aydelot's tone as she said: "You will find him at Shirley's, or on the way. Only the long trail winds around some bluffs, and you might pass each other without knowing it." "How many men in this settlement now?" Champers asked.
"Even with a son as old now as I was that night? The real romance of the prairie, you've said it often, Virgie, is Thaine Aydelot's romance. There's little chance for the rest of us." The coming of the guests just then called the host and hostess to the parlor, and the evening's festivities began.
Leigh sat very still, her eyes on the far-away headlands that seemed like blue cloud banks at the moment. "Had you heard of Miss Jane Aydelot's demise? I reckon you had, of course. But do you know what her intentions were?" Leigh looked steadily at her questioner. All her life she had had a way of keeping her own counsel, nor was it ever easy to know what her thoughts might be.
"Oh, come over here and tell me how you happened," Leigh cried eagerly. Grass River people blamed the two years of the University life for breaking Thaine Aydelot's interest in Jo Bennington. Not that Jo lacked for admirers without him. Life had been made so pleasant for her that she had not gone away to any school, even after her father's election to office.
Your setting is different. I hope the time may come soon when Ohio and Kansas will not be so far apart as they are tonight." He rose and took her hand in his. If Doctor Carey's magnetism made men admire him, it was no less an attractive force with women. As he looked into Jane Aydelot's gray eyes, he saw a new light there. And swiftly its meaning translated itself to him.
In days of great calamity or sorrow, sometimes little things annoy strangely, and it is not until after the grief has passed that the memory recalls and the mind wonders why trifles should have had such power amid such vastly important things. While the grasshopper was a burden, one loss wore heavily on Virginia Aydelot's mind.
Was he to blame that the contrast between Asher Aydelot's wife, now of Kansas, and Jane Aydelot of Ohio should throw the favor toward the latter, that he should forget for the moment what the women of the frontier must sacrifice in the winning of the wilderness? "I am glad to see you again, Doctor," Jane Aydelot said in cordial greeting.
