Long, long before that she had learned that everything one has in this world must be paid for and the question that had caused her to lose her red "corpuskles" had been whether she was willing to pay the price or whether she would go without the love and happiness and companionship that were offered to her. She flushed adorably as she met Mr. Jerry's anxious eyes.
Land, I remember Jim Peaslie took a dozen raw eggs a day, a quart of cream an' beefsteak so raw it dripped blood but he couldn't make none of those red corpuskles an' so there wasn't nothin' for him to do but die an' he died. A body can't live without plenty of red corpuskles an' by that same token, a girl has got to have somethin' beside work. That's gospel true, Miss Thorley.
"It's a long time since I was here," he said in a low voice, not as if he meant to say it but as if he had to. It seemed long to her now, too, and when she answered, it was as Mr. Jerry had spoken, as if the words came of their own will. "It is a long time." If Aunt Kate had seen her then she would not have worried over any lack of red "corpuskles."
Miss Thorley put her arms around Mrs. Donovan and tried to sooth her. All the red "corpuskles" had left her face now and her eyes had a strained frightened expression. It startled Mr. Jerry to see her show so much emotion. Usually she let one see very plainly that she was interested in only her own affairs. Tonight she had forgotten herself in a sweet sympathy for Mrs.
