"Our young friends," he said, indicating with a wave of his expressive hand Hilda and Farrar, "are admirably suited to each other. Both young, both handsome, and both essentially English." "Yes," answered Christian, with a polite display of interest: "and, nevertheless, the Carews were all brought up and educated in France."
A visit to Miss Gore made one morning when Jerry was in town at the office showed me that even if Marcia knew of Una's approaching visit, she had not told Miss Gore of it and also revealed the unpleasant fact of Channing Lloyd's presence in the neighborhood, a guest of the Carews and at the very moment of my visit a companion of Marcia in a daylong drive up to Big Westkill Mountain.
The Carews were very intimate with the minister and his sister, and there were one or two others who belonged to this set. There was Mr. Joshua Dorsey, who wore his hair in a queue, was very deaf, and carried a ponderous cane which had belonged to his venerated father, a much taller man than he. He was polite to Kate and me, but we never knew him much.
She wore mourning for the captain which would have befitted his widow, and patronized the townspeople conspicuously, while she herself was treated with much condescension by the Carews and Lorimers. She occupied, on the whole, much the same position that Mrs. Betty Barker did in Cranford. And, indeed, Kate and I were often reminded of that estimable town.
She asked Kate and me if we knew any young ladies at that school in Boston, saying that most of her intimate friends had left when she did, but some of the younger ones were there still. She asked for the Carews and Mr.
Jimmy had not expressed himself then as being overwhelmingly desirous to serve her in this way; but before the Carews had been in town a fortnight, he had shown himself as not only willing but anxious, judging by the frequency and length of his calls, and the lavishness of his offers of the Pendleton horses and motor cars. Between him and Mrs.
Long afterward they discovered that Kashaqua had started directly back over the trail, and had reached the Carews' cabin, with her message of Faith's safe arrival at her aunt's house, early the next morning. "Come in, dear child. You are indeed welcome. Your father's letter reached me but yesterday," said Aunt Prissy, putting her arm about Faith and leading her into the house.
It was not until after the machinery of justice had been set in motion that Pinetucky allowed itself to comment on the case; but the comment was justified by the peculiar conduct of the Carews, When they were confronted with the facts the cotton concealed in the barn and the warrant in the hands of the sheriff, old Billy Carew fell to trembling as though he had the palsy.
"They are for East Lynne," he quietly replied. "Oh, for the Carews." And Barbara's interest in the item was gone. They turned into the road just below the grove, and reached it. Mr. Carlyle held the gate open for Barbara. "You will come in and say good-night to mamma. She was saying to-day what a stranger you have made of yourself lately."
The breach of years was healed in a single afternoon. The brothers were once again friends. Whatever their quarrel had been and neither the children of the Tile House nor the other Carews ever knew what it was about it fled away like a morning mist in the face of a great peril, for death had come very close to little Clary that rainy Saturday.
