They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went, or if it's an empty sleeve, or even an empty pantaloon, it's all the more glory, and they're so much the prouder of them, poor things!" The tears began to run down Editha's face; she had not wept till then; but it was now such a relief to be understood that the tears came. "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs.
He had watched her silent and rigid, conscious only of one thing a trivial matter certes of Editha's inquiring eyes fixed steadily upon him. Everything else had been merged in a kind of a dream. But the mute question in those eyes was what concerned him. It seemed to represent the satisfaction of that morbid curiosity which had been such a terrible obsession during these past nerve-racking days.
There was enough of the sense of self-protection in him, however, to check himself from betraying such extraordinary interest in the matter: but he turned on his heel and went quickly back to the house. He wanted to catch sight of Editha's face, if only for a moment; he wanted to see for himself, then and there, if she had also heard the news.
He fully expected to see Editha return within the next minute or so, for vaguely through the fast-gathering gloom he had perceived that someone had opened the door from within, a thin ray of yellowish light falling on Editha's cloaked figure. Then she disappeared into the cottage. On ahead the swaying lights of the lanterns were rapidly becoming more and more indistinguishable in the distance.
I had altogether forgotten that it was my intention to hate her! I swear to you, Sigurd, I have not thought of the matter these two weeks." "Which causes me to suspect that you have been thinking very hard of something else," Rolf suggested. But Alwin closed his lips and kept his eyes on Editha's approaching figure.
"I am indeed glad to see you, Sir Cuthbert," she said, "though I certainly should not have recognized the lad who used to come here with my cousin, in the stalwart young knight I see before me. You are indeed changed and improved. Who would think that my gossip Editha's son would come to be the Earl of Evesham!
Helga flung her arms open wide. "Forgive? I forgive everyone in the whole world everything!" She threw herself, sobbing, upon Editha's breast, and they clung together like sisters. While they were still mingling their tears and rejoicings, the old housekeeper looked in with a message from Thorhild. "Sniffling, as I had expected! Have the wits left both of you?
The rough idea which was to help him in his schemes had originated in Editha's brain, but already he had elaborated it; had seen in the plan a means not only of attaining his own ends with regard to Sue, but also of wreaking a pleasing vengeance on the man who was trying to frustrate him. "I pray you, be of good cheer, fair Editha," he said quite gaily.
There was a cheerful blaze on the hearth, and the room itself being small always looked cozier than any other at Acol Court. Nevertheless, Editha's face was pallid and drawn, and she stared into the fire with eyes which seemed aglow with anxiety and even with fear.
I guess I'll have to make a little more light in here," and she went and pushed two of the shutters ajar. Then Editha's father said in his public will-now-address-a-few-remarks tone, "My name is Balcom, ma'am; Junius H. Balcom, of Balcom's Works, New York; my daughter " "Oh!" The seated woman broke in, with a powerful voice, the voice that always surprised Editha from Gearson's slender frame.
