"Well," said George with a gesture of helpless indignation, "I allow I'm beaten and there's not much comfort in feeling I've done my duty! I didn't expect you'd bother about my views when I began. Looks as if we gave young women a dangerous freedom." "Women have won their freedom; you didn't give it," Mrs. Farnam rejoined, and then turned to Agatha.
"What's your name?" "Farnam." "Farnam what?" "Ardita Farnam." "Well Ardita, no use standing up there and chewing out the insides of your mouth. You ought to break those nervous habits while you're young. Come over here and sit down."
"I will come for a week," Agatha agreed, and George went away to look for Farnam. George went away next morning and a few days afterwards Farnam walked home with his wife and Agatha from a visit to a neighbor's homestead. When they reached the edge of Farnam's orchard they stopped and looked about.
But we are your friends; don't forget that!" Agatha smiled gratefully, though she found it difficult. "I didn't really choose. Sometimes I was afraid; but I knew I had to go." "Very well," said Mrs. Farnam. "We won't talk about it. Tell me about your clothes." Next day George left the homestead and Agatha walked across the orchard with him while Farnam harnessed his team.
Thirlwell felt disturbed, but he had no grounds for interfering with the men, and although their relations were rather strained when they met, he left them alone. Winter was nearly over when, one evening, George and Scott arrived at the Farnam homestead where Agatha was a guest. The house was centrally heated, and when the party gathered in Mrs.
Farnam was busy, she found an opportunity of talking to him alone. He looked thoughtful when he heard her story. "You did right not to tell Mabel; but I certainly can't understand the thing," he said. "I reckon you have your imagination under pretty good control." "I didn't imagine I saw the man," Agatha rejoined with a smile. Farnam nodded. "We'll take that for granted.
There's nothing they can bring us from Earth that we can't do without." "We couldn't get away with it!" Mel Dorfman shook his head bitterly. "You're asking us to cut ourselves off from Earth completely. But they'd never let us. They'd send ships to bomb us out." "We could hide, and rebuild after they had finished." Pete Farnam sighed. "They'd never leave us alone, Jack.
Farnam about his wife and child when he was not eating with frank enjoyment and telling humorous stories. While the others laughed and joked Agatha mused. They had commonplace aims and duties that brought them happiness; but she had been given a harder task. Still it was a task that could not be shirked; she had accepted it and must carry it out. Some time after supper Mrs.
But a girl can't let herself down until she turns into a hobo. It's frankly unthinkable. Pull up and cut out the crazy program before it ruins you!" "It's too late," said Agatha. "I knew what I might have to pay when I resolved to go." "I wonder whether you do know. There's something George hasn't mentioned," Mrs. Farnam remarked.
They seemed, somehow, to savor the atmosphere, moving about like solemn, fuzzy overseers as the work progressed through the summer. Pete Farnam thought that they had even tried to warn the people about the winter. But the colonists couldn't understand, of course. Not until later. The Dusties became a standing joke, and were tolerated with considerable amusement until the winter struck.
