Peace was everywhere, divine peace, save in the breasts of those who gazed only to find a mockery in the surrounding tranquillity. Robert Morton's face was stern in meditation. How was this mighty transformation in Delight's fortunes to affect the hopes he fostered?
Asenath never was so charming; and she is more beautiful than ever!" Delight's glance took in also another face than Asenath's, grown into something in these months that no training or taking thought could have done for it. "Yes," she said, in the same still way in which she had spoken before, "that comes too, as God wills. All things shall be added."
But there's times like today when things don't strike her as they do me an' Delight. She's so fond of the girl that her first thought would be for the money an' all that; but that would be the last consideration in the world in Delight's mind. She's awful loyal an' affectionate. Things go deep with her, an' she sets a heap of store by the folks she cares for.
On the way over they had sighted Delight in the new car. She had tried to turn, had backed into a ditch and was at that moment ruefully surveying a machine which had apparently sat down on its rear wheels with its engine pointed pathetically skyward. Delight's face fell when she recognized them. "Of course it would have to be you," she said.
Maynard, "that we should entertain you, as you have our Marjorie as a guest at your house." "An unwilling guest, I fear," said Mr. Spencer, with a sad smile. "But ready to make the best of it, as we all must be," rejoined Mr. Maynard. Miss Hart, Delight's new governess, who came out from New York with Mr. Spencer, listened to the doctor's story with a grave face.
Each silently reconstructed Delight's life, now linking it with its ancestry and its romantic beginnings. She had, then, sprung from aristocratic stock; riches had been her right, and culture her heritage.
If you like a man, you want him to do the right thing because he wants to, not because a girl asks him to." "I wonder," Audrey said, slowly, "if he's worth it, Delight?" "Worth what?" She was startled. "Worth your worth our worrying about him." But she did not need Delight's hasty and flushed championship of Graham to tell her what she already knew.
"Bless you, good man!" cried Delight, her face buried in her handkerchief. "I will reward you with a thousand golden ducats." "I ask no reward, ma'am; 'twas but my humble duty." "Say not so! You have rendered me a service untold by gold." Delight's diction often became a little uncertain, but if it sounded well, that was no matter.
When I am here And you are there I feel all wipsy-wopsy! But soon you will be home once more, And all will be as it was before; So make the most of your fortnight's stay, For I cannot spare you another day!" By this time Delight's spirits had risen to such an extent that she exclaimed: "I think it's splendid to have Marjorie here for two weeks!" "We'll make a picnic of it," said Miss Hart.
It was then that, saddened and chastened by sorrow, I regretted my narrowness and injustice and prayed to God for the chance to wipe out my cruelty. But my prayers went unanswered, and all these years forgiveness has been denied me. Now I am old but God is merciful. He has not let me die with this weight upon my soul." She bowed her head on Delight's shoulder and wept.
