But now without a word of warning in popped this young whipper-snapper, turning the whole house upside down! Another young person to be known, another life to be dug into, and with pick and shovel too! The job was far from pleasant. Would Deborah help him? Not at all. She believed in letting people alone a devilish easy philosophy!
"Woman!" returned Deborah, with an angry snort; "she was a lady, if there ever was one. We don't see her sort every day, I can tell you that, Miss Esther; a pretty-spoken, dainty creature, with long fair curls, that one longed to twine round one's fingers." "She was pretty, then?"

And Barak, remember, was a gallant soldier, and Deborah was a prophetess who 'judged Israel at that time. So much for the ideals of hospitality among the children of Israel.

There was more to Colonel Vincent's letter. Frank showed it to Mr. Percival, and readily obtained permission to take a few days vacation.

Until then, my duty as I judge it is to keep her by my side; to shelter her from harm and annoyance, petty as well as great." "You deem that your duty!" "I do," he firmly answered. "My duty to her and to God." Deborah shook her head and her hands. "It ought not to be let go on," she said, moving nearer to the study door. "I shall urge the leaving you upon her."
