It was not long in coming and she was soon being whirled in the direction of Mrs. Crump's residence. Mrs. Crump was glad to receive Tiara and she was again assigned to the room in which she slept on the night of her arrival in Almaville. Tiara did not go to bed, but rocked to and fro, anxious for day to break, eager, so eager to see Ensal.
"What is pending?" earnestly asked Tiara, turning her large, anxious eyes on Ensal. "Heaven alone knows," replied Ensal. "Just think! In order to have peace here between the children of the two races, the school authorities provide that there shall be a difference of an half hour between the respective hours of going to and coming from school," continued Ensal.
That morning Eunice had taken her departure and had for some reason or other refused to let Tiara know her destination. Tiara missed Eunice, but there was a countervailing joy in her soul. Eunice gone, her period of exile was over, and Ensal O, well, well; he could call to see her sometimes.
When he had taken the seat proffered him, he said: "Gus Martin wrote me a letter, enclosing a copy of a letter which he had sent to you." "O heaven, be merciful. Let it not come to that!" said the agonizing Ensal, shocked that Gus had let another know of the matter that had so disturbed him. "Your prayer is not directed to me, but I hear, understand, and will answer it.
They soon arrived at the spot, and Ensal looked long at the charred trunks of the trees that had served as stakes. He scanned the trees from the parched roots to the forlorn tree tops, took note of the fact that the bark was missing and reflected that the absent bark was no doubt yet serving as souvenirs in many Maulville homes. "They are dead the trees I mean and perhaps it is well.
"Do I understand that you are to talk treason to me to-day; for of course you know my people are tied up in a political system with the Anglo-Saxons," asked Ensal, with some warmth. "Ah! That is the question? Are you a part of the American nation or a thing apart? I can prove that you are a thing apart a fly in the stomach for whose ejection an emetic is being diligently sought.
Dropping one of Tiara's hands, an arm stole around her waist, and Ensal kissed her again and, sad to say, again, and, vexing thought, again.
In short, the one missing factor now needed is aggressiveness on the part of the right thinking white people of the South," said Ensal, who now ceased and awaited with anxious heart young Maul's reply. "As to the matter of our aggressiveness, Mr. Ellwood," responded young Maul, "have no doubt on that score.
His eyes looked up into scores of pistols now leveled at him, and as they rang out their death song Gus Martin smiled and died. Poor Fellow. The whole of the night following the Gus Martin tragedy was spent by Ensal in sorrowful meditation, as he restlessly walked to and fro in his room. The Rev. Percy G. Marshall had been an outspoken friend of the Negro.
Ensal and Tiara returned to Mrs. Crawford's. A Messenger That Hesitates. Mrs. Crump sat in her room, her elbows propped up on her knees and her cheeks resting on her hands.
