He was, Clayton saw, vaguely puzzled by the rector and rather incredulous as to Delight's attitude. "Do you really want him to go?" he asked her. "Of course. Aren't you going? Isn't everybody who is worth anything going? I'd go myself if I could. You don't know how lucky you are." "But is your Mother willing?" "Why, what sort of a mother do you think I have?"
So I want you to enjoy Delight's friendship, and consider her your dearest friend, if you choose, without feeling that you are disloyal to Gladys." "Could I, Mother?" "Certainly, dear. That is all quite right.
Yes, Willie had settled Delight's future to his entire satisfaction and for nights had been sleeping peacefully, confident that with such a husband as Robert Morton her happiness and good fortune would be assured. And then, like a thunderbolt out of the heavens, had come this Cynthia Galbraith with her fetching clothes, her affluence and her air of proprietorship!
"You don't seem much set up by your good luck," went on the breathless Celestina. "Delight's kinder bowled over by surprise, Tiny," Willie explained gently. "It's took all our breaths away, I guess." Tenderly he pressed the trembling fingers that clung to his. "You ain't got to worry about it, dearie," whispered he in a caressing tone.
Miss Adams was much pleased at this honest compliment to her old home, and she patted Delight's shoulder, as she said: "I'm sure we shall be great friends, you and I. Run away now, with Marjorie, and lay off your wraps in the north bedroom." The girls went up the short turning staircase, and into a quaint old-fashioned bedroom, with four-poster bed, chintz hangings, and fine old carved furniture.
And now, she had this new girl under her wing, and she was beginning to make it felt that she was Delight's champion, and the others could act accordingly. "Do you like coasting?" said Ethel Frost, as they passed a fine hill dotted with boys and girls and sleds. "Yes, I love it!" replied Delight, her blue eyes sparkling as she watched the sleds fly downhill.
It's somethin' to have a young chap with brains like that marryin' into the family! I'll bet there's 'most nothin' on earth he couldn't tackle." "You're right!" Captain Phineas chimed in. "If Delight's got to get married an' we'd be a lot of selfish brutes not to want her to she certainly has picked a promisin' husband.
Snelling had gone over to New York to make the necessary funeral arrangements, and the family were to follow the next day. There was nothing Bob could do, but if he and Delight wished to accompany them, Mrs. Galbraith would be glad to have them. Madam Lee had been devoted to Bob, and it was Delight's unchallenged right to share in the final obsequies to her grandmother.
I went over there this morning, and after making my call on the lady, I delivered the invitation for the daughter. Delight was most anxious to go, and coaxed her mother so hard, that Mrs. Spencer finally said yes, though I'm sure it was against her will." "Is Delight's cold well?" "I think so, or her mother wouldn't let her go.
Until such a moment came an irksome deception colored their love and left them in constant danger of discovery. Indeed, had the observer been keen enough to interpret psychic phenomena, there was betrayal in the soft light of Delight's eyes and in the grave tenderness of her face; and as for Bob, he felt his great good-fortune must be emblazoned on every feature of his countenance.
