Baird nodded her head. "That I leave to you; you're much the better judge. Only do make haste, I am so afraid some one will be hurt. I saw little Phylis Guile almost run into a tree." Polly and Betty promised to start at once. They went up to the studio and made Lois put away her brushes and join them. Then they told the Dorothys and Evelin and Mildred.
Lance Evelin was by no means a saint; he knew it and acknowledged it in this dread hour; but he had always striven honestly and honourably to do his duty, whatever it might be, with all his strength; and then, too, like the apostle, he knew in Whom he trusted. No, Lance was not afraid of death on his own account; it was for the weak timorous girl by his side that all his sympathies were aroused.
Clarke to be guilty or innocent?" "Oh, innocent!" exclaimed Daventry, with unusual warmth. "And does Bruce Evelin?" "I believe so. I assume so." "I noticed that, while I was listening to you both, he never expressed any opinion, or gave any hint of what his opinion was on the point." "I feel sure he thinks her innocent," said Daventry, still almost with heat.
"You can trust both of us," her husband answered. The firmness of his tone irritated her. "I will judge of that for myself," she said. "Go back to the next room," she added, turning to Mrs. Evelin; "I will hear you separately." The companion, whose duty it was to obey whose modesty and gentleness had won her mistress's heart refused to retire. "No," she said; "I have been deceived too.
"It really doesn't matter so much to you," Angela said; "You're none of you going to college, but imagine if I flunk anything." "You can make it up this summer," Lois said. "Yes, and take entrance exams. No, thanks; I'd prefer entering on certificate," Angela drawled. Evelin and Helen came out of the study hall. "Any news yet?" Evelin asked. Betty shook her head.
Evelin and Helen agreed with her and though the two Dorothys voted for "The Princess," the majority was in Betty's favor. It was decided that Mrs. Baird and Miss Porter should cast each girl in her part. Towards the end of the meeting, there was a knock on the door. Polly opened it. Louise Preston and Florence Guile stood in the hall.
The father did not expect, perhaps did not even desire, that the little son should develop into a paragon, but he did desire for Rosamund's child the strong soul in the strong body, and the soft heart that was not a softy's heart. In that conversation Bruce Evelin had learnt a great deal about Dion.
He's been slacking for years." Dion understood. Bruce Evelin wished Beatrice to marry Daventry. "He respects you tremendously, sir. If any one can make him work, you can." "I'm going to," returned Bruce Evelin, with his quiet force. "He's got remarkable ability, and the slacker well " He looked at Dion with his dark, informed eyes, in which knowledge of the world and of men always seemed sitting.
The fellow reeled backwards with the severity of the blow, but, recovering himself, whipped out his long knife, and, pale as death with passion, rushed upon Lance. Captain Staunton saw what was about to happen, and shouted in warning, "Look out, Evelin!" flinging the plank to the ground at the same instant in such a way as to momentarily check the rush of the Greek.
He thought he would join this group for a moment, if only to ascertain whether the girls had succeeded in securing such things as they were most anxious to save; and he sauntered toward them in his usual easy and deliberate manner. As he drew near Violet rose and said "Oh, Mr Evelin!
