"Ef I said dat, Marse Cally, I must 'a' been dreamin'; I wuz mighty nigh fast asleep when we started back des now, an' ef you'd 'a' lissened right close I speck you'd 'a' hearn me a sno'in'. Ef you say I said it, den I reckon I must 'a' said it, but I wan't at myse'f, kaze ef dey ever wuz a grown man on top er de groun', dat chap is one." "You are sharper than I thought you were," I remarked.
But at just that point, a stir seemed to shake through the man; he was seen to be turning his head; and in the same breath, her moment of high strength broke abruptly. The veins fluttered queerly in the forward hand; she felt a quick flush rising somewhere within, spreading and tingling upward into her face. So Cally rose hurriedly, her hand withdrawn, and moved away.
Evey herself complained of being tired; so Cally drove her second-best friend to the McVey residence in the car, but pleaded duties at home against getting out for a little visit. And then, bowling homeward in the brisk airs, she could return to her own thoughts again, which, as by the rubbing of an Aladdin's lamp, had suddenly become so happy and so absorbing.
Heth got off all right, Moses?" demanded that resolute lady. "Take some more tea, Cally. You must really try to eat something, my child " "I have eaten a great deal," said Cally. And pushing back her chair then, she added: "I think I I'll try to rest a little while, mamma. I feel tired after the trip." "Do!" said mamma, further encouraged. "Sleep a little if you can, my dear.
And Cally, standing with the others and ready to go, seemed to see no clear course at all among the disturbing cross-currents which she suddenly felt within her, impelling her now this way, now that. If she could not think of V. Vivian as hard now, exactly, a new "attitude" was obviously needed, consistent with her duty to papa.
For this moment she felt far stronger than he. His hand, with the pencil in it, lay on the table close by her, and Cally closed her slim fingers over it with a firm clasp. "Ah, don't say that, Mr. V.V. don't look that way. It hurts me, in my heart.... Can't I make you believe that you've accomplished more than anybody else in the world?..."
Ah, no; surely the shame for her would be, knowing these things now at their value, not to love them, to hold back thriftily for the striking of a bargain. Was not here, and no otherwhere, the true badge of the inferior, to measure the dearest beats of one's heart as a prudent trader measures? So Cally Heth, the often loved and lovely, was strong to feel on her wonderful day.
"Why doesn't your friend try attending to his own, then, the medical business, instead of interfering all the time with other people's?" The Cooney answered quite easily: "You see, he'd say this was his business." Then she smiled a little, thoughtfully, and said: "He'd say, Cally, that the world's all one family, and everybody's responsible for everybody else.
One look went between her and papa. Did he see death in her face? "You heard ..." he said, standing there, his voice so curious. And she could have screamed for that look in his eyes. "No," said Cally. Yet surely she had heard. He was limping through the door toward her; dirt on his clothes; dark stains on his fine snowy waistcoat.
Don't you know, if conditions were bad at the Works, whatever that may mean, and I for one have never felt that working-girls were entitled to Turkish baths and manicures, don't you know papa would correct what was wrong without being called a homicide by by eccentric medical men?" Hen hesitated, and then began: "Well, business is hard, Cally, and men in business "
