I want to tell you something, dear, that will make you forget yourself and think of me. You are sure you cannot sleep?" "I do not want to sleep." "Priscilla, I have given myself to love! You can understand. Travers has just told me about him and you!" A faint colour touched the face on the pillow. "It was the telling that brought him around. He's superb, and you're a daffy little goose, Cilla.
I shall try to make it up to him in some way; help him to be willing and brave, to do the right; teach him that my way is the only honourable way. I am sure both he and I will be glad not not to let others, oh! such sad, little others, pay the debt for us. Our day is is short at best, but the the eternity! And you, dear, faithful Cilla!
Before, my God was a prayer-book God; a dead thing that only rustled when we touched him; and now, oh! Cilla, he is alive and breathing in good men and women, in little children, in all the beautiful, real things. They did not bury my God, or yours, long ago; they only set him free for us to find and love and follow."
He took his hat, kissed her hand and got away. Aunt Priscilla coming in found Dulcie in tears by the fire. "I've given him up, Aunt Cilla." "Why?" "Well, it wouldn't be right." She came into Aunt Priscilla's bedroom later to talk it over. She had on the rosy house coat. She spoke of going back to Paris. "It will be better for both of us.
After all, Aunt Cilla, we are what we are fundamentally, and we Puritans can't get away from our consciences, can we?" "Some of us," said Aunt Priscilla, "can't." The old woman lay awake a long time that night, thinking it out. She was glad that Dulcie had stopped the thing in time. But she had a feeling that the solution of the situation could not be laid to an awakened conscience.
Offa, the great and fierce king of Mercia, defeated Cynewulf of Wessex, at Bensington, and spoiled the land, destroying the convent of St. Helena, founded by Cilla, and grievously robbing and oppressing Abingdon.
And you, Doctor Richard Travers, you are wanted by your lady mother. Here's a telegram. The girl in the office always tells what is in a telegram, to spare shock. And Cilla, my shining-headed chum, you and I are going to scamper about a bit before we go home. I'd be a miserable defaulter, indeed, if I did not give you your share of this experience. Oh!
"'Hush! thee makes me to see him, and though the dead rise not here, I am some way assured he is not yet dead, and may come and say to me, "'Cilla" that is what he called me "thee remembers the night and thy promise, and the lightning all around us, and who took thee to shore from the wrecked packet on the Bulkhead Bar." The life he saved I promised.
