"And now you're goin' right on an' lettin' him have all your cerridges, and you'll be wantin' me to help clean the seats, too, I'll warrant, and you're agoin' to hire into the bargain, with him owin' you and owin' everybody else in town." "Now, Dilly, I didn't say I was agoin' to," protested Rawdy.
"Well, I hope, Mr Fordyce, that a few weeks' experience of my establishment won't have the effect of making you regret your previous celibate existence." Dolly and Dilly looked at each other. "Dolly," said Dilly, "is that an insult?" "I think so." "Insulting enough to be punishable?" "Rather." "All right. Come on!"
"I was comin' up here to see Dilly, an' he offered me a ride." Rosa's color and spirits had returned, at the sight of her tangible ally at the gate. "Well, I guess I must be going," she said, airily. "Elvin won't want to wait. Good-by, Dilly! I'll tell father. Good-by, Molly Drew!" But Dilly followed her down to the road, where Elvin stood waiting with the reins in his hands.
True to the limitations of her sex, though her intentions were admirable and dutiful, the result was disastrous. The boy got a paralysing blow on the small of the back, and flopped down. Up jumped Dilly Boy, and the gin raced after him, murderously inclined to the crab. Half her blows were misses and the other half seriously embarrassed her husband, as his tumbles testified.
'But it took such a fancy to me, said Archie. 'Perhaps that was why, said Dilly. The children were separated by force. For a woman who was warm-hearted, sensitive and thoughtful, Edith had a singularly happy disposition. First, she was good-tempered; not touchy, not easily offended about trifles.
"Well, I must say!" she retorted to the empty air. "If I live, I must say!" Dilly took her placid companion by the arm, and hurried her on. Human jangling wore sadly upon her; under such maddening onslaught she was not incapable of developing "nerves." They stopped before a stall where another heifer stood, chewing her cud, and looking away into remembered pastures.
She was much taken up by Bruce, by Archie and Dilly, and was fond of losing herself in ideas and in books, and in various artistic movements and fads in which her interest was cultivated and perhaps inspired by Vincy. Vincy was her greatest friend and confidant. He was really a great safety-valve, and she told him nearly every thought. Still, Archie was, so far, her greatest interest.
'It's his way of slyly calling poor Dilly a beast, because he's angry with her. Isn't it a shame? What shall I do? Both of them laughed and enjoyed it. 'Archie, what is the meaning of this? Why did you make this census of your home? Edith asked him gently. 'Why, I didn't make senses of my home; I just wrote down who lived here. Edith looked at him reproachfully.
"I wonder where the others are." "By the way," said Kitty, "Dilly and Dicky have arrived. Robin and Dolly wired for them this morning. They may be upstairs any moment. They were having supper in the coffee-room when last I saw them." She patted her hair. "Do I look an awful fright?" I turned in the restricted space at my command and surveyed her.
The letter she wouldn't at first let him see. Poor Bruce! Well, they were linked together. There were Archie, the angel, and Dilly, the pet.... She was twenty-eight and Aylmer forty. He ought not to hold so strong a position in her mind. But he did. Yes, she was in love with him in a way it was a mania, an obsession. But she would now soon wrestle with it and conquer it.
