After all this, I wonder if you wouldn't just like to look in at Miss Craydocke's room with me, who can give you a pass anywhere within the geography of my story? She came in here "with the lath and plaster," as Sin Saxon had said.
Sin Saxon tossed Miss Craydocke's parcel into the "little red" as they passed it by, taking the road in advance, giving a saucy word of command to Jim Holden, which transferred the charge of its delivery to him, and calling out a hurried explanation to the ladies over her shoulder that "it would take them round the Cliff, the most wonderful point in all Outledge; up and down the whole length of New Hampshire they could see from there, if their eyes were good enough!"
A cold supper, laid at nine on Wednesday evening, for some expected travelers, turned out a more meagre provision on the arrival of the guests than the good host of the Giant's Cairn had ever been known to make. At bedtime Sin Saxon presented herself in Miss Craydocke's room. "There's something heavy on my conscience," she said, with a disquiet air.
The tableaux would come by and by; meanwhile, there was plenty of time for their "bees," and for the Cliff. They had long mornings in the pines, and cool, quiet afternoons in Miss Craydocke's pretty room. It was wonderful the cleverness the Josselyns had come to with little frocks. One a skirt, and the other a body, they made nothing of finishing the whole at a sitting.
We have to think and work a good deal of the time for ourselves. And then we lose sight" "Of Him? Why?" Leslie said no more, but waited. Miss Craydocke's tone was clear, untroubled. The young girl looked, therefore, for this clear confidence to be spoken out.
Two hours later she came meekly to Miss Craydocke's room, where the "bee" was gathered, for mere companionship to-day, with chess and fancy-work, her flourishes all laid aside, her very hair brushed close to her pretty head, and a plain gingham dress on.
