We will have some company from Careyville who want to meet you." "I'm sorry, but I promised Leigh up here at church that I'd go over to Cloverdale for a little while tonight." Thaine could not tell Jo of Leigh's affairs, and he felt that the Shirleys' intimacy with his father's family and his own expressed admiration and attention to Jo were sufficient to protect him from jealousy.
Then as truthfully as possible he told her of the life and mind of the lonely loving plainsman. When he had finished, Miss Jane sat awhile in silent thought. "It is right that you should know something of conditions here, Doctor," she said at last. "The older Shirleys are dead. Tank's life hastened the end for them, the Cloverdale gossips say.
What are you trying to say?" queried the older man. "I'm trying to show you that I cannot sit down here in the Shirley House and play mine host any more than I could " hesitatingly "marry a Cloverdale girl on demand. No Cloverdale girl would have me so. I've seen too much of the country for such a position, Father. Let the men who staid at home do the little jobs."
"By golly, if my country needs this like that, then by golly, my country's going to have it." The officials leaned forward in anticipation. "You can have Sally's Cloverdale Marathon III and I don't want one cent for her, either. And you can take the hens, too."
"Noble and thoughtful man!" was all Mary Jones could exclaim, as she hid her face in her hands and burst into a flood of tears. The bells of Cloverdale are ringing merrily. It is a wedding. "How beautiful they look!" is the exclamation that passes from lip to lip, as Mary Jones, leaning timidly on the arm of John Jenkins, enters the church.
A delightful ride of a single day, and most of the distance on the rail-way, will carry us now through a grand succession of waving harvests and verdant woods, of swarming hamlets and splendid towns, from the Cayuga to the Hudson, and set us down in Cloverdale, whose lovely homes nestle like a brood of milk-white doves in the covert of the Rensselaer hills.
It was twilight when Thaine reached the Cloverdale Ranch and found Leigh waiting for him on the wide porch. All the way down the river he had been calling himself names and letting his conscience stab him unmercifully. And once when something spoke within him, saying, "You never told Jo you were fond of her.
Beyond the range of hills rising from the far side of the Ashuela was the wide valley in which was situated the Cloverdale Country Club, with its polo field, golf course and tennis courts; and in this same valley some of our wealthy citizens, such as Howard Ogilvy and Leonard Dickinson, had bought "farms," week-end playthings for spring and autumn. Hambleton Durrett had started the fashion.

"Well, I haven't, and I don't understand. But the only way to stop this roving is to make a home of your own. Will you tell me how you expect to support a Cloverdale girl when you marry one?" "I don't expect to marry one." The smile was winning, but the son's voice sounded dangerously like the father's. "Why not?" "Because when I marry it will be to a southern girl " Asher hesitated a moment.
