I could feel that though death in itself might be sad and solemn, yet it was, after all, but the step that opened the door to joy. In short" and here Flossy's face shone with a rare sweet smile "I know that the truth as it is in Jesus has made me free." Rich. was utterly silent. What could he reply in the face of this simple, quiet "I know?"
Oh, I wish I could forget what I know what I have heard!" "It is about Flossy?" said Hubert, in a whisper. She hid her face, upon his shoulder without a word. "My poor child, I am half inclined to think that I can guess. I know that Flossy's life has not been all that it should have been. No, don't tell me I will not ask you again unless you wish to confide in me." "You said you did not know."
There were no more fainting-fits nothing definitely alarming; but day by day the girl grew weaker, and no one noticed or guessed the reason why. Enid's nights were restless; but she had not been disturbed since Flossy's return from London by the white figure which she had seen at her bedside.
Flossy's face took a pink glow; she liked pretty things. As for those who had been at Chautauqua the year before, they gathered at the vessel's side as those gather who, after a long and tiresome journey, realize that they are nearing home. They were eager and excited. "The dock is better," said one. "Yes, and the passage way is larger," chimed in his nearest neighbor.
And, another puzzling point, how did Col. Baker know it? They two certainly did not come in contact, that they should understand each other's ideas. She went on with her card-playing, but she played very badly. More than once Col. Baker rallied her with good-humored sarcasm, and her father spoke impatiently. Flossy's interest in the game was gone; instead, her heart was busy with this new idea.
They accepted and came and I was pleased by it; but they could easily have ignored me afterward if they had wished. What really pleased me, Selma, was their asking me to one of their select dinners, because because it showed that we are " Flossy's hesitation was due partly to the inherent difficulty of expressing her thought with proper regard for modesty.
She should never marry Hubert or any other man; sooner than betray Flossy's secrets, Enid Vane should die. The white still woman with the brown eyes and yellow hair was ready to face the chances of detection ready to take life, if necessary, rather than see her plans defeated and herself disgraced. With Enid out of the way, she might not be safe; but she would be safer than she was now.
Just in front of her sat a young man who hummed in undertone the closing words of the covenant song. It brought the tears again to Flossy's eyes. He turned suddenly toward her. "It was a pleasant service," he said. "Don't you think so?"
What a pity it seems sometimes that people cannot read the hearts and watch the springs of action of those around them. If Mrs. Miller, as she closed her paper and moved away from the platform, could have seen the earnest purpose glowing and throbbing in Flossy's heart, and have known that it was born of words of hers, what a glad and thankful heart would she have carried back to her tent!
She went on talking with Flossy, telling her about Charlie Flint, noticing the happy tears that glistened in Flossy's eyes as she received her message, taking in the murmured words, "To think that Christ would honor such a feeble little witnessing as that!" and realizing even then that it would be very blessed to have one say to her, "You have been the means of leading me to think about this thing."
