'What am I? asked Archie, in his persistent way, as he walked round the group on the lawn, in goggles, followed closely by Dilly, saying, 'Yes, what is he? looking exactly like a live doll, with her golden hair and blue ribbons. 'You're a motorist, darling. 'No, I'm not a silly motorist. Guess what I am? 'It's so difficult to guess, such hot weather! Can you guess, Paul?
"He's fencing a large tract, William a very large tract. It takes in " "Oh, let up, Dilly! I don't want to know how big it is not right now. I'm willing to take my dose uh bad medicine when it's time for it but I ain't none greedy about swallowing the whole bottle at once! I feel as if I'd got enough down me to do for a while." "You are wiser than most people," Dill observed dryly. "Oh, sure.
Her round blue eyes widened, in an unmistakable terror quite piteous to see. "O Dilly!" she quavered, "how do you know such things? Why, you 'ain't looked at me!" Dilly opened her eyes, and chuckled in keen enjoyment. "Bless ye!" she said, "I can't help imposin' on ye, no more 'n a cat could help ketchin' a mouse, if't made a nest down her throat. Why, I see ye comin' round the corner!
What happened when Robin locked the door on himself and Dolly is now set down here. Strictly speaking it ought to come later, but there is no need to make a mystery about it. I have taken the account of the proceedings mainly from the letter which Dolly wrote to Dilly three days later. It would be useless to reproduce that document in full.
I have always made a point of letting you do exactly as you like about the children, haven't I, Edith? But I'm beginning to think, really, Dilly ought to have another gov He stopped, looking self-conscious. 'Oh, she's only five, quite a baby, said Edith. 'I daresay I can manage her for the present. Leave it to me. Since his return, Edith had never once referred to Bruce's sea-voyage.
"No, don't you come now. He ain't ready. You go away, an' let him set an' think it out." And the parson, why he knew not, turned about, and went humbly back to his preaching in the hall. The afternoon wore on, and it began to seem as if Elvin would never break from his trance, and never speak. Finally, after watching him a moment with her keen eyes, Dilly touched him lightly on the arm.
She knew I was going to ask you about the cows. She said I was to tell you, too, there's some sickness over to Sudleigh, and she thought you could go over there nussing, if you wanted to." "I 'ain't got time," said Dilly, placidly. "I give up nussin', two year ago. I 'ain't got any time at all! Well, here they come, don't they? One for me, an' one for you!"
"I just then had a bite, William," reproved Dill, and swung the bait in a wide circle for another awkward cast. He was a persistent soul, was Dill, when once he got started in a given direction. Billy, dodging the red morsel of meat, sat down on a grassy hummock. "Aw, come and set down, Dilly," he urged wearily. "I want to tell yuh something."
He was very gentle, but he did at heart cherish the masculine theory that the unusual in woman is never to be judged by rules. "But it is a queer kind of a day," owned Dilly, pushing in the last drawer. "Why, Jethro!" She faced him, and her voice broke in excitement. "You don't know, I ain't begun to tell you, how queer it seems to me.
This happened in what Dilly Joyce, in deference to a form of speech, was accustomed to call her young days; though really her spirit seemed to renew itself with every step, and her body was to the last a willing instrument. She lived in a happy completeness which allowed her to carry on the joys of youth into the maturity of years.
