"... There are two heavens... Both made of love, one, inconceivable Ev'n by the other, so divine it is; The other, far on this side of the stars, By men called home." And these two heavens met, over at Boyntons', during these cold, white, glistening December days. Lois Boynton found hers first. After a windy moonlit night a morning dawned in which a hush seemed to be on the earth.
Just behind the agent stood one of his police, and this was before the days of an Indian police that, properly handled, proved valuable as auxiliaries. Then Red Dog in slow, sonorous speech began to declaim. "Choke him off! Make him dismount and report at your office. He'll only insult you where he is," whispered Boynton.
MRS. MASON'S welcome to Waitstill was unexpectedly hearty much heartier than it would have been Six months before, when she regarded Mrs. Boynton as little less than a harmless lunatic, of no use as a neighbor; and when she knew nothing more of Ivory than she could gather by his occasional drive or walk past her door with a civil greeting.
You've got the loveliest eyes and hair in Riverboro, and you know it; besides, Ivory Boynton would tell you so if you didn't. Come and bore my ears, there's a darling!" "Ivory Boynton never speaks a word of my looks, nor a word that father and all the world mightn't hear." And Waitstill flushed.
The Cranstons, Trumans, and Hays, Boynton, Hastings, and Sanders, battle-scarred heroes, most of them, and dozens of others in the congenial circle; but Margaret Cranston sorely missed her boys, who were big enough now to be at school, and far too big to be staying around garrison.
He is son and daughter both, now that Mr. Boynton is away from home. You did not see any one in the road as you turned in from the bars, I suppose?" "No," answered Waitstill, surprised and confused, "but I didn't really notice; I was thinking of a cool place for my horse to stand." "I sit out here in these warm afternoons," Mrs.
"I can't stand the strain any longer," she cried, "you've got to tell me. Are you or are you not going to marry Dick Thorndyke for his money, and is Billy Boynton putting you up to it out of cowardice?" "No, I'm not and he isn't," Nancy said. "What's the matter with you and Billy anyway?" "I haven't seen him for weeks before.
And all those months of training, all that endless grind of hard work, for a test which had lasted but a few minutes, ending in a certain victory for one shell and a certain defeat for the other, since victory surely could not possibly result for both. "See you all at the Griswold tonight," called Captain Boynton, as the launch shoved off and got under way. "Sure thing!
"Must expect to be disobeyed, must I?" the old man cried, his face positively terrifying in its ugliness. "We'll see about that! If you wa'n't callin' on a young man, you were callin' on a crazy woman, and I won't have it, I tell you, do you hear? I won't have a daughter o' mine consortin' with any o' that Boynton crew.
"I am nothing of the sort," the girl answered him quietly; "Ivory Boynton was not at his house, he was in the hay-field. You know it, and you know that I knew it. I went to see a sick, unhappy woman who has no neighbors. I ought to have gone long before. I am not ashamed of it, and I don't regret it. If you ask unreasonable things of me, you must expect to be disobeyed once in a while.
