"If she kills herself you'll be her murderer," cried Gyp passionately to Ginny Cox. Ginny was wishing very much that she hadn't made that silly, boastful dare trying to make someone else do what she was afraid to try herself! She was very fond of Jerry. The red faded from her face; she clenched her hands tightly together. Tibby commenced to cry hysterically.
"There was a road, Nicie, and I thought you would come after me." "I was a muckle geese, missie; but eh! I'm glaid I hae gotten ye. Come awa' an' see my mother." "Yes, Nicie. We'll tell her all about it. You see I haven't got a mother to tell, so I will tell yours." From that hour Nicie's mother was a mother to Ginny as well. "Anither o' 's lambs to feed!" she said to herself.
Dis am Frien'less . . . Hyar's de scah! says Duckfoot, his eyes a-rollin'. Then he goes 'round 'n' looks at the hoss in front. 'Whar his white foot at? he asks the colonel. "'That's what we are about to ascertain, says the colonel. 'Boy, he says to a ginny, 'run out to the drug store with this dollar and bring me back a pint of benzine and a tooth-brush. "The ginny beats it.
She was conscious, too, that Ginny's dare had been followed by a hush the others were waiting for her answer. "If someone will lend me their skis " She tried to make her tone careless. "Jerry Travis, you never would!" "Take Dana King's skis. They're the best." "The very top " commanded Ginny. "May I use your skis, Dana?" "Let her use your skis, King." "Jerry, don't " implored Gyp.
Desmond was determined to have him and she's got him; but he's only taken her in his stride, as you may say. I don't suppose he cares very much one way or another. But with Desmond it's a point of honour." "What's a point of honour?" "Why, to have him. Not to be left out. Besides, she always said she could take him from poor little Ginny Richards, and she's done it.
"Ginny should not have accepted Jerry's sacrifice. Girls, there's a simple little thing called 'right' that we find in our hearts if we search that's finer than even the precious honor of your school and Gyp, you speak very truly when you say that that is something you must valiantly always uphold.
There was much speculating as to who had built the snowlady; the three little sub-freshmen who had begun the work Ginny had finished were vehement in their assertions that they had not. Gradually it was whispered about that Ginny Cox had done it. "We might have known that," several laughed, thinking Ginny very clever.
"Yes I did, Granny; don't yer b'lieve dat gal; I said jes' much 'kingdom come' ez she did." And presently Jim would retaliate by saying, "Granny, Polly nuber sed nuf'n 'bout her 'cruspusses." "Lord-ee! jes' lis'n at dat nigger," Polly would say. "Granny, don't yer min' 'im; I sed furgib us cruspusses, jes' ez plain ez anybody, and Ginny hyeard me; didn't yer, Ginny?"
"Ginny Cox, you don't look a bit glad," accused one clear-sighted schoolmate. Alas, Ginny was not brave enough to clean her troubled soul with confession then and there; she tried to silence the small voice of her conscience; she made a desperate effort to be her own old self, evoking the homage of her schoolmates as she had done time and time again.
What a delight it was to be thus alone upon the grand mountain! with the earth banished so far below, and the great rocky heap climbing and leading and climbing up and up towards the sky! Ginny was not in the way of thinking much about God.
