A look of pain came into the woman's eyes. "You've be'n so good to us, and done so much gettin' Eben a job on your father's place, that I don't feel as if I ought to lie to you. He done it again on Saturday night. First time in three months. The manager up at Fairview don't know it. Eben was all right Monday." "I'm sorry," said Victoria, simply. "Was it bad?" "It might have be'n. Young Mr.
"I do, indeed!" he answered; "there is no place like home, is there? This is your home, too, now, Eva." "Yes, sir," a little sadly. "You and Aunt Elsie are home to me now, almost as papa used to be in the dear old days; and perhaps I shall learn to love Fairview as well as I do Crag Cottage. May I go into the garden, uncle?" "Yes, I will take you with pleasure.
"Yes, I think so." "I shall be ever so glad to see them especially dear Grandma Elsie and Rosie and Walter; but oh, I wish the Fairview folks were coming, especially Eva," remarked Lulu, ending with a sigh of regret. "Ah, well, daughter, perhaps Evelyn may be here before the winter is over," the captain said, exchanging a slightly amused glance with Violet.
"I think one of my father's old suits will fit you. Maybe I can get you an overcoat, too." "I can get you some shoes, and a hat," said Barney Hedge. "I'll furnish the provisions, and we'll pay you some money," put in Ham Spink. "Come along to Fairview if you want to." So it was agreed, and Kiddy Leech accompanied the young conspirators back to the town.

The sun was shining brightly when the lad awoke, refreshed and full of spirit and hope. He somehow felt as though he was beginning the most eventful day of his life. Andy turned his face in the direction of Centreville. He had no idea of going direct there, however, that day. He did not know how many people from Fairview might have seen him there the day previous.
With some such thoughts as these Hilary Vane turned into the last straight stretch of the avenue that led to Fairview House, with its red and white awnings gleaming in the morning sun. On the lawn, against a white and purple mass of lilacs and the darker background of pines, a straight and infinitely graceful figure in white caught his eye and held it. He recognized Victoria.
The deputies got in, the door was shut sharply, and the van shot forward. In less than fifteen minutes they had reached the ferry. The train was late, and it was long after nine o'clock when it pulled into the Fairview station.
He never really had been a part of this company ... he never really had been a part of any company. At the office of Ford, Wetherbee & Co., at Fairview, at Storch's gatherings, he had mingled with his fellow-men amiably or tolerantly or contemptuously, as the case might be, but never with sympathy or understanding.
He had merely acquired the faculty of appraisal, although this does not mean that he was incapable of falling in love. Mr. Rangely could not account for the sudden access of gayety in Victoria's manner as they drove to Fairview through the darkness, nor did he try. He took what the gods sent him, and was thankful.
