"And anyway we have no right to discuss Esther's affairs. The reference to it grew out of the proposed change of meeting. And the change of meeting was thought of chiefly because when Mr. Macnair heard about the escapade he seemed much worried. Naturally, as he says, he carries all his young people on his heart, and Dr. Callandar being such a newcomer " "Oh, yes, naturally."
"Can you understand," he said slowly, "how a man used to driving a motor car can have been entirely baffled by so slight an accident? To me it seems odd!" "So Dr. Callandar thought, only he expressed it more forcibly." "And you?" "Well, I suppose I was heartless. But it was the funniest thing I ever saw!" Esther's laughter bubbled again. They were now at the manse gate. He saw that he must hasten.
Was it because she would conquer of herself, or because she did not really wish to conquer at all? To Esther, Mary's refusal came as a reprieve. But to Callandar it was but a lengthening out of torture. Man's love must always, in its essence, be different from woman's; though many women seem incapable of recognising this fact.
He felt as if he had stumbled into a dream-town and must walk carefully lest he stumble out. Bubble had given him very complete directions, indeed so minute were they that we will omit them lest some day you find the way yourself and drop in on Mrs. Sykes when she is not expecting company. But Dr. Callandar in his amused absorption had forgotten that he was going to Mrs.
He might perhaps send Bubble over with an invitation to go fishing. No, that was too risky. Esther might refuse to go fishing and that would be a bad omen. In a sudden spasm of nervousness Callandar threw the half-burned cigar out of the window and, following it with his eyes, was not sorry to be distracted by the sight of Ann in her night-dress, crying under the pear tree.
The only thing I ever had with love in it was the ruby ring, and that " She checked herself suddenly; her small face freezing into such a mask of tragedy that Callandar was alarmed. But to his quick "What is it?" she returned no answer and the expression passed as quickly as it had come. When he held out his hand for the letter, she seemed to have forgotten it.
No one, save Dr. Coombe, had ever done that "It is always best in these cases to get the details from the patient herself," went on the doctor, encouragingly. No, he was not laughing! Aunt Amy could detect nothing save the gravest of interest in his kindly eyes. An immense relief stole over her. A relief so great that Callandar, watching, felt his heart grow hot with pity.
"Knock again!" They knocked again, banged in fact, and then rattled the windows. "She could never sleep through all that racket!" said Callandar with conviction. "She must be out. Well, out or in, we've got to get that boat. Let's explore this path ought to lead to the lake." "Shall we steal it?" in a delighted whisper. "We probably shall. You won't mind going to jail, I hope?" "Not at all!"
"Of course, as soon as we are married, I am going to tell Dr. Callandar all about it and when he sees how very much better my medicine has made me, he will be quite ready to withdraw his objections. In the meantime I am sure you feel, as I do, that our little ruse has been quite justifiable!" Miss Milligan did. She felt quite proud of her part in it.
I shouldn't mind letting you have them if you feel sure that the smells wouldn't get loose all through the house and in the cooking. There's a barn where you could keep your horse." "I haven't got a horse," protested Callandar feebly. "But of course you'll be getting one. A doctor has to have a horse. If you can't pay for it down, Mark knows some one who'd let you have a good one on time.
