Like a gleam of sunlight through the cottonwoods was the coming of the child to the gloomy house of Withersteen. The big, silent halls echoed with childish laughter. In the shady court, where Jane spent many of the hot July days, Fay's tiny feet pattered over the stone flags and splashed in the amber stream. She prattled incessantly. What difference, Jane thought, a child made in her home!
To seek joy and insure its being shared by others, bravely and honestly believing it to be an excellent thing, was to Meg an entirely unknown frame of mind. After the play, in Meg's room the three girls were brushing their hair together; to be accurate, Jan was brushing Fay's and Meg admiring the process. "Have you any sisters?" Jan asked. She was always interested in people's relations.
As they passed, hand in hand, down the avenue of drooping elms, that led from the portal of Lilies Fay's paternal mansion, they seemed to glance like winged creatures through the strips of sunshine, and to scatter brightness where the deep shadows fell.
Just wait a few minutes till Ayah comes, then I'll take you away with me." Faithful Ayah didn't dawdle over her food. She returned, sat down on the floor beside little Fay's cot and started her endless mending. Jan carried Tony away with her along the passage and into the drawing-room. The verandah was too hot in the early afternoon.
Beyond the bare facts of Fay's death I told him all about her illness as dispassionately as I could I've never reproached him or said anything cruel. You see, the man is down and out; though Mr. Ledgard always declared he had any amount of mysterious wires to pull.

"He stood," she panted, "like a rock oh, the brave, beautiful thing!" "Where is that " Swygert suddenly checked himself and looked around. "He's gone after his dog," he said. "Peerless has run away!" It had been over two months since Freddy Le Fay's bill had been paid, and Miss Nellie Blair was worried. She had written to Freddy's mother repeatedly, but there had been no answer.
He almost heard her tremulous whisper, "Yes." "Do you still love me?" "Yes." "We may love each other now." Again Fay's voice very low. "Yes." It had to be like that. This moment was only a faint foreshadowing of that unendurable joy, which inevitably had to come. A great trembling laid hold on Michael. He could not stand. He fell on his knees, but he could not kneel.
"What are you up to?" she demanded, knowing very well. "I'm going to blast that iron monkey off Fay's back if it's the last thing I do!" She threw her arms around him. "Now lemme go," Gusterson growled. "I gotta be a man one time anyway."
Her conduct was considered perfectly natural and womanly. No man condemned her for trying to shield her cousin from the consequences of his crime. Women said they would have done the same, and envied her her romantic situation. And Fay, shut up in her darkened room in her romantic situation she who adored romantic situations what were Fay's thoughts?
A knife was put on Miss Fay's lap; the curtain lowered, the knife pitched on to the platform, and behold the Indescribable Phenomenon stepped from the cabinet with the ligature that had bound her wrists and neck severed.
