"I'm going with a crowd to the theater," he said. "First week of the summer stock company, you know." He tied his tie defiantly, avoiding Belle's eyes in the mirror. "Harvey," she said, "they're going to bring Sara Lee home." He said nothing, but his hands shook somewhat. "And I think," Belle said, "that you will be sorry for what you have done all the rest of your life."
The interest in the village deepened into strong excitement when it became known that Roger was ill with the fever that had caused Belle's death, some timid ones fearing that a pestilence would soon be raging in their midst. But the great majority yielded to their good impulses, and Mrs. Atwood was overwhelmed with offers of assistance.
Jewel's attention was as unwinking as Anna Belle's, as she listened to the names. "Anna Belle ought to have first choice because she's the youngest. Then I'll have next, and you next. Anna Belle chooses The Quest Flower; because she loves flowers so and she can't imagine what that means." "Very well," returned Mrs. Evringham, smiling and settling herself more comfortably against a tree trunk.
"Well, you know they are all interested in your house, and in Miss Genevieve; and then everybody was surprised at your coming to visit your grandmother." "I can't see why," Rosalind said, opening her eyes. "Oh, well because you never had before, you know." Belle's manner was hesitating, as if she felt conscious of being on dangerous ground. What she said was certainly true.
The afternoon wind was beginning to die, and the wisps of high fog that had, since two o'clock, been flying before it, now paused and forgathered to veil the sky. Dusk was falling. "Look here," suggested Rowlee suddenly; "let's go to Allen's Branch and have a good dinner, and then drift around to Belle's place and see if there's any excitement to be had thereabouts."
He goes to our church, but says he came in at the eleventh hour. I think he used to have rheumatism. And while I was sitting there you could have walked right by me." "Humph!" "But then you'd have known me," went on Jewel, straightening Anna Belle's hat, "so it would have been all right.
"I just know she is a prig," remarked Belle, caressing the kitten. "No, she isn't!" A tumbled head and a pair of eyes very like Belle's own peered out suddenly from beneath the table cover. "If she was, she wouldn't have run away to take supper with Morgan." "Mercy upon us, Jack! you are enough to startle the sphinx. Come out from under that table at once," commanded his mother.
A compromise was effected. Laramie consented to go to Belle's to get something to eat. In this way, refusing help, the obdurate patient was got to walk to the cottage. "Don't let him fall on y'," McAlpin cautioned Kate, as the two followed close behind. "I helped carry him upstairs. He's a ton o' brick."
Belle made no response, but when Laramie knocked at the door in the evening she knew who it was. Kate received him. Talking in leisurely fashion to her, he walked to the door of Belle's room, looked in, wanted to know whom she had been fighting with and asked if she would get up and get supper for him.
"And now, let us get started, or we shan't get out on the street to-day," urged Belle. Then they passed out on the street, and no ordinarily observant person would have suspected them of being anything more than school friends. Being very matter-of-fact in some respects, Belle's first move was to go to a stationer's, where she bought a little notebook bound in red leather.
