À la bonne heure! I have been to the University, and talk what he is pleased to call "philosophy" therefore Mr. Colson denies me faith. You have always, in your heart of hearts, denied me knowledge. But I cling to both in spite of you. There was a ray of defiance, of emotion, in his look. Langham met it in silence. 'I deny you nothing, he said at last, slowly.
Isn't it strange, the ways the Lord takes to answer prayers? Much prayer had been made for Dirk Colson, but few had thought of his sister.
Roberts' call, repeated it with her rendering, and I am not sure but all parties concerned actually forgot their final object in the interest of the discussion until they were suddenly called to it by an interrupting voice: "Your'n's the way," it said, with an emphatic nod of a shock of matted hair, "your'n's the way." It was Dirk Colson.
"Oh, she met one of her new recruits, as hard a boy, so one of the policemen on this beat tells me, as there is in the row, and pressed him into service to escort her back to civilization; and strange to say, the fellow did it without placing any tricks." The doctor turned on the small lady a curious glance. "I think you may be able to do something, even for Dirk Colson," he said.
Did he know, she wondered, the boys who composed her class? She had just taken the class, and was so unfortunate as not to be acquainted with their names. One was Dirk Colson, and another she had heard was Haskell Timothy Haskell, perhaps, though of that she was not certain. Did that give Mr. Duffer any clue?

"With an old woman who used to look after our cottage," she answered. "But she is very poor, and she cannot keep me any longer. Mrs. Colson says that I must go and work, and I am afraid. I don't know anyone except at Tredowen! And I don't know how to work! And I don't want to go away from the pictures, and the garden, and the sea! It is all so beautiful, isn't it? Don't you love Tredowen?"
It is a wonderful stimulus to have some one who believes in us. "Do you know," said Mrs. If Mr. Colson should bring his sister with him to-night I should like so much to get possession of her and bring her home with me! But I have been planning all day, and see no possible excuse for such an apparently wild proceeding." I want you to notice how naturally Mrs. Roberts said "Mr.
"There is immediate work for you," she said, "for of course I want to know their names. Who are the two? This Dirk Colson, whom you mentioned, which was he?" Alfred described him as well as his bewilderment would allow, and was interrupted "Oh, the small dark one. I know, he interested me. Where does he live?" But to this question no clear answer could be given.
Evan Roberts" was sufficient passport among any of the business men of the city. Mr. Stone was more than ready, he was eager to serve her. What could he do for the elegantly-dressed lady whose carriage waited at the door, while she came in person among the bales and boxes? Her business must be urgent. It was. Could she speak with Mr. Colson just for a moment?
Gradually they said "that Colson girl"; then one day some daughter asked, "Is she really a sister of that handsome Mr. Colson in the store?" And by-and-by there were some who spoke of her as "Mattie Colson." That was the name which Mrs. Roberts always called her. It began gradually to be known also that "Mattie Colson" knew a great deal which was worth knowing.
