In the midst of this rejoicing there had come a cause for even increased happiness. On the morning after Ned had turned the dangerous corner, and started on his slow journey back into life once more, Dr. Brownlee had gone into the parlor where Mr. Everett sat writing letters, and had closed the door behind him. His stay was only a short one; then Mr. Everett came out, and went in search of Louise.
Hammond is eleven, 'cause she might be cross next day, if we didn't invite her. And then that new doctor that Charlie knows what is his name?" "Dr. Brownlee?" inquired Allie. "But does your mother know him?"
As soon as Green Valley knew that Jocelyn Brownlee was engaged it sent her a tried and true poor-man's-wife cookbook, big gingham aprons, holders to keep her from burning her hands and samples of their best jellies, pickles and preserves.
Burt Brownlee was a big man, but he was not of great weight. Lance bound him to the saddle with his own riata, revived him with a little more whisky, and started for Conley's, who lived nearest. It was ten miles to Conleys, as riders guessed the distance.
Hudson Brownlee had known perfectly well ever since he was a child that "God is everywhere," but he had never thought about it; he was realizing His presence for the first time, and it made him nervous to feel that he was alone with God, who was powerful, and whom he had neglected. We must now go back to Charlie. His duty, if it was dull and lonely, was simple and easily attended to.
Brownlee appeared to be especially interested in the subject. "How do you get the ore on the cage?" he asked. "Do you run it on, car and all, or do you unload it?" "How little these Eastern folks do know!" remarked the Reverend Gabriel, in an audible aside to Louise.
We've had such good times, too, 'specially since Charlie came; and I don't want to leave all these people." "'T isn't all of them, though," responded Howard. "There aren't so many I care about, if we could take the Everetts and Fishers and Dr. Brownlee along with us." "And the mountains, and Wang Kum, and our ponies," added Allie. "Janey says she'll go too.
But they say she's awful sweet and pretty, in spite of her terrible ignorance. "Old Mr. Dunn told me this Mrs. Brownlee was a bankrupt's widow, that when the husband died there was nothing left but this Green Valley lot, which he bought absent-mindedly one day, and his life insurance which though was a good one.
Brownlee; and she was beginning to grow uneasy, for the time for his reading was at hand, and the play was to follow it almost immediately. She was just resolving to give up all hope, and bring the entertainment to a hasty close, when she saw the doctor come hurrying in at the side door. She turned to Charlie MacGregor, who chanced to be standing near her.
Last of all came Dr. Brownlee. He had been delayed until the last possible moment, and now, just as Mr. and Mrs. Fisher turned the corner far down the street, he rang at the door, to be admitted by Marjorie. Once inside the parlor, he stopped and looked around the room in search of his hostess, in order to offer her a prompt apology for his seeming rudeness in being so late.
