An iron church was erected for them, but the contractor, an Englishman, before his work was finished was seized with illness and died. He was buried in one of the Edinburgh cemeteries, and Dr. Cairns attended the funeral. Having ascertained from the widow of the dead man that he had belonged to the Church of England, he repeated at the grave-side the whole of the Anglican Burial Service.
Bedient came up from his Island, and all unconsciously made his old companion realize that he was not breathing the breath of life here in New York. Cairns wept over it, and made up his mind to try again; and fine chap that he is, he called a few of his friends together, to give us a chance to see the thing as he saw it. I call it an honor that he invited me. I see you do not.
"What will you do?" she whispered. "I don't know what I shall do," said Marshall simply. "I should have liked to have resigned. It's a prettier finish. After forty years to be dismissed by cable is it's a poor way of ending it." Miss Cairns rose and walked to the door. There she turned and looked back. "I am sorry," she said.
Here Cairns was wonderful and authoritative and elect to Bedient particularly in the possession of a living, breathing Mother. This filled the cup of dreams in a way that the dominant exterior matters of the young correspondent's mind newspaper beats, New York honors, great war stories, and a writer's name could never have done. Bedient was clearly an inveterate idealist.
In the fading daylight the girl at the wheel, who happened to be Margaret Wayne, brought her automobile to a stop almost even with the roadside group. "What has happened?" she called out sharply. "Your friend Miss Cairns just ran down Miss Langly," returned Jerry grimly. "She isn't dead, but we don't know how badly she may be hurt. May we have the use of your car to take her to the Hall?"
"Good afternoon," she saluted without enthusiasm, as the nurse admitted her to the sick room. Her small dark eyes shrewdly appraised Katherine, who was lying on her couch bed clad in a dainty delft blue silk kimono. "Good afternoon, Miss Cairns," Katherine returned. "Please take the arm chair. It is more comfortable than the others." "Thank you. I can't stay long.
He saw again that he was ordained to look within for the woman; that his heart was his mother's heart; his spirit, her spirit this twain one in loving and giving. Allegro Finale There were calms and conquests on the brow of Vina Nettleton. She had been in Nantucket one whole day alone, before David Cairns came.
The instances of Robert Burns and Thomas Carlyle, who both came out of homes in which religion and religion of the old Scottish type was the deepest interest, will occur to everyone. Not the least striking illustration of this principle is shown in the case of John Cairns.
And he himself in some mysterious way seemed to be changed almost beyond his own recognition. Instead of being the Jock Cairns who had herded sheep on the braes of Dunglass, and had carried butter to the Cockburnspath shop, he was now, as his matriculation card informed him, "Joannes Cairns, Civis Academiae Edinburgeniae;" he was addressed by the professor in class as "Mr.
Sight of the Sans, particularly Leslie Cairns, had put her momentarily in a bad humor. Her virile Irish temperament forbade her to do other than love or hate with all her strength of being. She hated Leslie as energetically as she adored Marjorie. "That Miss Walbert makes me sick," was Jerry's incensed comment as they bowled smoothly along the avenue.
