Dora mended from that day, devoted herself to the hideous little lambs that were brought in to be nursed by the fire; ate and drank like a little cormorant, and soon began to rush about after Mr. and Mrs. Long, whether in house or farm-yard, like a thing in its native element, while they were enchanted with her colonial farm experience, and could not make enough of "Little Missy."
At last Robert deposited her on a rug beside a fascinating farm-yard which lay there spread out for her, and stood looking, not at the child but at his wife. 'Catherine, I feel so much as Mary did three minutes ago! She looked up startled. The tone was light, but the sadness, the emotion of the eyes, contradicted it. 'I want courage, he went on 'courage to tell you something that may hurt you.
'Almost every day, sir, was the reply. 'At what time? 'In the afternoon, sir, from three to five, or thereabouts. 'Goes back in time to help Miss Gwynne dress for dinner, thought the colonel; 'what a lovely face it is! And what grace of movement. He watched Gladys cross the farm-yard, and disappear in the plantations, through which there was a private path to the house.
There were owls calling from the hill, and every now and then a light wind rustled through the branches of an oak that stood in the farm-yard. She was thinking of what Janet had said about the "Words" of Christ the Word of Purity and the Word of Love.
Miss Henderson lingered outside a moment. "I never noticed," she said, "that the living room goes right through. What draughts there'll be in the winter!" For as she stood looking into the curtainless window that fronted the farm-yard, she saw through it a further window at the back of the room, and beyond that a tree.
With heightened colour and quick step she turned from the farm-yard down the steep path which led to the river's banks, and as she made her way through the thick hazel and willow brushwood she could not quite suppress the hope that she might meet Cardo. But no, perfect solitude reigned over the Berwen.
"There, again, did you see that?" His cousins had seen what he alluded to, and said so; but the light appeared upon their blind again, and this time lasted so long, that they got out of bed to look, when, to their horror, they could see flames running up the side of a great wheat-stack in the farm-yard, and the blaze every moment growing larger.
The children roared, tremendously excited; and these sons of toil, most nearly related to animals, experienced that cruel craving which animates the fowls of a farm-yard to destroy one among themselves as soon as it is wounded. Simon suddenly espied a little neighbor, the son of a widow, whom he had always seen, as he himself was to be seen, quite alone with his mother.
King felt it a relief to her uneasiness to look up and down the road, and along the river, and into the farm-yard, in the hope that Harold might be in sight; but nothing was to be seen on the road, but Master Norland, his wife, and baby, soberly taking their Sunday walk; nor by the river, except the ducks, who seemed to be enjoying their evening bath, and almost asleep on the water; nor in the yard, except Paul Blackthorn, who had come down from his perch to drive the horses in from the home-field, and shut the stable up for the night.
Laura threw herself backwards a moment, as the cart began to move, and kissed her hand. Mrs. Mason made no sign. She watched the cart, slowly picking its way over the rough ground of the farm-yard, till it turned the corner of the big barn and disappeared in the gusty darkness. Then she turned housewards.
