Captain Doane apparently shared my girl parishioner's prejudice against men in the pulpit, for long afterward, on one of my visits to Cape Cod, he admitted that he now went to church very rarely. "When I heard you preach," he explained, "I gen'ally followed you through and I knowed where you was a-comin' out.
Melinda Jones was there all the time, while Mrs. Jones was back and forth, and a few of the Olney ladies dropped in with suggestions and offers of assistance. It was to be a grand affair so far, at least, as numbers were concerned for everybody was invited, from Mr. Townsend and the other clergy, down to Cecy Doane, who did dressmaking and tailoring from house to house.
"That may be your New York fashion," interpolated the general; "but I know one Joe Doane, of Barnstable, who had a whole year of love stories in his head, and got along well enough with one lover to a story." These remarks somewhat displeased the secretary, who gave vent to his feelings in certain upward turns of his short nose.
And so you did not hurry as you went, and, as things happened, you came to Faddo's house almost at the same moment with Lancy Doane and two other mounted coast-guards. "You stood in the shadow while they knocked at Faddo's door. You were so near, you could see the hateful look in his face. You were surprised he did not try to stand the coast-guards off.
I want to think about what I can do for that family. I'll give her my own room if I have to, but she's goin' to the country!" Daphne came in soon, and looked quickly at Drusilla's flushed, excited face. "Did you have a nice time, Miss Doane? Isn't it a wonderful work?" "Yes, I had a lovely time, and I learnt a lot. Thank you so much for your tea, Mis' Harris. I'm real glad I come."
I'm so happy that I'm afraid I'll cry and spoil it all." But she did not cry and she enjoyed the luncheon at the big hotel, and as she ate she stole shy glances in the mirror opposite that reflected a transformed Drusilla from the frightened little woman who had gone tremblingly down the steps of the Doane home the day before. The next few days passed in a whirl of excitement for Drusilla.
"Miss Doane," he said enthusiastically, "start all the asylums red, black, or yellow that you want. Take the whole African race if you want to, and I'll see that you get cooks enough for them." Mary Deane laughed the laugh of a happy woman who has come into her own. "And, Miss Doane," she added, "we'll do better than that. Rastus isn't your colored baby any more. He's Jim's and mine.
Drusilla watched them for a moment and then went to the door, where Daphne was waiting. The girl took Drusilla's hand excitedly. "It worked, didn't it, Miss Doane; it worked!" They waited in Drusilla's room for quite a while before two shamefaced but happy looking people appeared, hand in hand. Mr. Thornton went up to Drusilla and took her hand in both his own.
"There's a big colored orphan asylum out on the Elpham Road. Let's telephone up there, and I'll take it over myself." Drusilla hesitated again. "Another 'home. I hate to " "It's the only thing to do, Miss Doane. You can't mix the colors." "Well, perhaps you'd better." Dr. Eaton left the room, and returned after a few moments with a shake of his head. "No good! They say they're full.
I know very well that it is customary for the recipients of testimonials to pay three-quarters of the cost of the present, and I am perfectly willing to abide by this custom; but forty-nine fiftieths is, I think, rather too heavy, especially as my house is heated by a furnace in the cellar and I have no use for a shovel and tongs particularly silver ones.
