"Lord Coombe confided to me that she had passed through a hideous danger which had made a lasting impression on her," she said in a low voice. "He told me because he felt it would explain certain reserves and fears in her." "Sometimes she wakes up out of nightmares about it," said Dowie.
Sometimes he goes so high that you can't see him any more He's not even a little speck in the highest sky Then I think perhaps he has gone in and taken my prayer with him. But he always comes back. And perhaps if I could understand he could tell me what the answer is." She ate her breakfast each day and was sweetly faithful to her promise to Dowie in every detail.
At first I was terrified by a dreadful thought that her poor young mind had given way. But she had no fever and she was as sweet and sensible as if she was talking to her Dowie in her own nursery. And, my lord, this is what does matter. She sat up and ate her breakfast and said she would take a walk with me. And walk she did stronger and better than I'd have believed.
Dowie was a sensible and experienced creature and had been prepared before the doctor's suggestion to lose no advantage. If the child began to sleep and eat her food, and the fits of crying could be controlled, why should she not be allowed to believe what supported her? When her baby came she'd forget less natural things.
I can't bear to see them wheeling round and preparing to depart. I want so badly to go with them. It always brings back to me the feeling I had as a child when people read Hans Andersen to me the storks in The Marsh King's Daughter, talking about the mud in Egypt. Imagine Priorsford swallows in Egypt!... As the song says: "'It's dowie at the hint o' hair'st At the way-gaun o' the swallow."
"Do you think that if I bought one for a pattern I could copy it?" Dowie studied it with care. "Yes," she said. "You could copy it and make as many more as you liked. They need a good many." "I am glad of that," said Robin. "I should like to make a great many." The slim fingers slid over the page. "I should like to make that one and that and that."
It is true that the arrest of some Dowieists whose zeal had carried them beyond the limits of the law of Illinois was commented upon; that long reports were published of the death of a member of the Church of Sion who had succumbed through being refused any medical attention save that of the high-priest of the sect; that much amusement was caused by the dispersal of a meeting of Dowieists by firemen, who turned the hose upon them; and much interest aroused by the legal actions brought against Dowie for having refused to give information concerning the Bank of Sion.
She's got into the way of loving me, bless her, and every now and then, it's my opinion, she suddenly remembers her lonely days when she didn't know what love was. And it just wells up in her little heart and she wants to kiss me. She always says it that way, 'Dowie, I want to KISS you, as if it was something strange and, so to say, sacred. She doesn't know it means almost nothing to most people.
"She had a dream last night," Dowie began. "A dream!" he exclaimed disturbedly. "What kind of dream?" "The dream did it. I saw the change the minute I went to her this morning," Dowie answered. "Last night she looked like a dying thing after one of her worst breakdowns. This morning she lay there peaceful and smiling and almost rosy. She had dreamed that she saw her husband and talked to him.
I wish to hear it for the last time," he added, with a languid smile, "in consideration of the ounces." Rachel knew the verse, because she had formerly noticed that it moved some chord in his memory connected with an old love affair in which his heart had been scathed; but she hesitated, for the meaning it conveyed was dowie and ominous. "Come, come," said he, "the fate will never be yours."
