But he said it faintly then, and more faintly on the days following, for inactivity again enervated him made him, for the first time in his life, feel almost old. Apparently the Applebys' customers had liked "The T Room" well enough some of them had complimented Mrs. Appleby on the crispness of her doughnuts, the generousness of her chicken sandwiches.
Eight acres of that land had already been gobbled up by Silas Trimmer, and, no doubt, that astute and energetic business gentleman was now after the balance. "Where is the office of Miles, Eddy and Company?" Bobby asked, with a crispness that pleased him tremendously as he used it. "Twenty-six Plum Street," Mr. Thorne advised him.
Then waking when the first signs of morning crispness were beginning to show themselves, I saw that Ernest was already devouring every object we passed with quick sympathetic curiousness.
All the time the rain was streaming down, and all the time their clothes grew wetter and wetter. Just before dusk a halt was made by the roadside, and at last the booming of the guns died down to a silence that was only broken by the incessant patter of the rain upon the sodden earth. There was not much to eat, only biscuits, whose freshness and crispness had been lost in moist pockets.
"Mehitabel can help me, my dear. Go into the other room and let Rosa get you a cup of tea." "It won't be much of a cup of tea," Mehitabel commented grimly. "That fool of a girl's got it into her head that it's a good time to cry for her doxy, because he's a brakeman on some other train." Berenice smiled at the characteristic crispness and the absurd speech of the old servant.
"The moon is rather out of it, to-night," May observed, with the bright crispness that gave everything she said a flavour of originality. She had taken in the beauty of the scene with a completeness that would have astonished her companion; not a detail had been lost upon her. Yet it was clear that the total effect had not produced an overpowering impression.
Nocturnal showers occur fairly regularly in normal seasons, and every sort of vegetable is rampant with the lust of life. It was September when our isolation began. And what a plenteous realisation it all was that the artificial emotions of the town had been, haply, abandoned! The blood tingled with keen appreciation of the crispness, the cleanliness of the air.
As her strength renewed itself, her soft fun, too, came back, her gentle, inexhaustible delight in the absurdities of men and things, which gave to her talk and her personality a kind of crackling charm, like the crispness of dry leaves upon an autumn path.
A door and a window faced the river. The window was uncurtained, a bald square of glass. The sun had grown to some little strength. The air that morning had softened to a balminess like spring. Hollister had approached unseen over snow softened by this warmth until it lost its frosty crispness underfoot.
"I think she's right, Hepsey," laughed Ruth, "though I never thought of it in just that way. I'll have to wait until she comes home." In the afternoon she donned the short skirt and heavy shoes of her "office rig," and started down hill to explore the village. It was a day to tempt one out of doors, cool and bright, with that indefinable crispness which belongs to Spring.
