I leaned forward to catch her eye, when the door was opened hastily, and a most extraordinary figure presented itself. It was a short, fat man, with a pair of enormous moustaches, of a fiery red; huge bushy whiskers of the same colour; a blue frock covered with braiding, and decorated with several crosses and ribbons; tight pantaloons and Hessian boots, with long brass spurs.
He could hear her swiftly braiding her hair before she struck a match to light the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling. After that, through partly closed eyes, he watched her as she prepared their supper. Occasionally, when she turned toward him as if to speak, he feigned a desire to sleep. It was a catlike watchfulness, filled with his old cunning.
He sat rigid in his new little uniform of stout cloth, with its broad gold braiding, and kept tight hold of the cords. 'You'd better unbutton your collar, I said to him. 'It's all right; we're used to it, he said, and cleared his throat. He was like his sister. The eyes especially recalled her, I liked being nice to him; and at the same time an aching sadness was gnawing at my heart.
He looked at her, almost fiercely, but now her eyes were hidden. "We will go to Frontenac;" he said; "we will go to Frontenac, you and I. But they shall not get you." He caught the hands that were braiding her hair, and held them in his rough grip. "It is too late. Let them break my sword, if they will, still they shall not get you."
Rushton was braiding straw when Robert entered with his berries. "Couldn't you sell your berries, Robert?" she asked. "I haven't tried yet, mother." "The berrying season won't last much longer," said his mother, despondently. "Don't borrow trouble, mother. I am sure we shall get along well." "You feel more confidence than I do." "I just met Halbert Davis in the street."
When he awoke the sea was pink with the sunrise, and one of the bay heads was all distorted and stratified by a mirage. It was hot already. Moran was sitting a few paces from him, braiding her hair. "Hello, Moran!" he said, rousing up; "how long have you been up?" "Since before sunrise," she said; "I've had a bath in the cove where the creek runs down. I saw a jack-rabbit."
One took her hand and led her to a cushion in the centre of the little circle that had just been formed, another unloosed the wealth of beautiful hair that astonished them by its dark richness and profusion as it fell about her fair neck. She who had unloosed the new comer's hair, now fell to braiding it in solid masses and plaiting it about her head.
Thoughtless, he had meant to have the flowers delivered at once to Christine's flat. It would not do; it would be indiscreet. And somehow, in the absence of Braiding, it would be equally indiscreet to have them delivered at his own flat.
A hat with silver braiding hangs above them in the cupboard. See that he lacks for nothing which the house can furnish. Supper will be ready when he hath changed his attire. I beg that you will go at once, good Master Saxon, lest you take a chill. 'There is but one thing that we have omitted, said our visitor, solemnly rising up from his chair and clasping his long nervous hands together.
He had never nursed it for such an act would have been excessive but he had once stuck his finger in its mouth, and he had given it a perambulator that folded up.
