A priest with a rosy, good-humored face was just leaving. Gracie turned her too-large eyes upon Peter Champneys's wife with a sort of unearthly intensity, and Anne Champneys looked down at her with a certain compassion. Anne had a bourgeois sense of respectability, and she had involuntarily stiffened at sight of the blonde drab sitting by the bedside, staring at her with sodden eyes.
Or maybe she's not, either. Whatever she is, she certainly can catch the human eye!" He remembered her as she had appeared on her wedding-day, and his respect for Chadwick Champneys's far-sighted perspicacity grew: the old man certainly had had an unerring sense of values. The girl had a mind of her own, too.
He couldn't understand how or where Peter had met the girl; possibly some youthful foolishness back there in Carolina. Maybe she'd followed him north, to become what her friendship with such as the blonde person indicated. Vandervelde was a cautious man and he thought he had better investigate that message, written before Chadwick Champneys's death.
Some six weeks later Denise died as quietly as she had lived, her small cold hands clinging to Peter Champneys's, her blue eyes with their untroubled, loving gaze fixed upon his face. When that beloved face faded from her the world itself had faded from Denise. He hadn't dreamed one could suffer as he was called upon to suffer then.
Chadwick Champneys's long, drooping mustache came up under his nose, and his bushy eyebrows twitched. "I am not trying to sell anything," he said hurriedly, in order to prevent her from shutting the door in his face, which was her evident intention. She said impatiently: "If you're collectin', this ain't our day for payin', an' you got to call again. Come next week, on Tuesday.
