"Why is a woman's throat a bird, White in the thicket of the years? Sheila suddenly thrust back the leaves at him, hid her face and fell to crying bitterly. Dickie let fall his poems; he hovered over her, utterly bewildered, utterly distressed. "Sheila h-how could they possibly hurt you so? It was your song your song Are you angry with me ? I couldn't help it. It kept singing in me It it hurt."
She shook hands with Covington. She observed that he was too deeply affected at sight of her to speak, and it awakened fresh misgivings in her mind. "H-how d'y do! I didn't know you were here!" he stammered. "I thought it would surprise you!" Roberta smiled wanly, amazed at her own self-control, then froze in her tracks as Jean announced: "Jack will be home to-night, Culver.
Jethro focussed a look upon the painter. "Er painter-man, be you? Paint Cynthy's picture?" "But I don't want to be painted, Uncle Jethro. I won't be painted!" "H-how much for a good picture? Er only want the best only want the best." The painter said a few things, with pardonable heat, to the effect well, never mind the effect. His remarks made no impression whatever upon Jethro.
"G-guess it's because I'm not good enough to be anything more," he remarked suddenly. "Is that it?" "You have not tried even to be a friend," she said. "H-how about Worthington?" he persisted. "Just friends with him?" "I won't talk about Mr. Worthington," cried Cynthia, desperately, and retreated toward the lantern again. "J-just friends with Worthington?"
This was because of a pain around his heart had she known it. He had felt that pain before. "H-how do they treat you, Cynthy?" She hesitated. She had not yet learned to use the word patronize in the social sense, and she was at a loss to describe the attitude of Mrs. Duncan and her daughter, though her instinct had registered it. She was at a loss to account for Mr. Worthington's attitude, too.
"Uncle Jethro, I didn't know you were such a great man," she said. "H-how did ye find out, Cynthy?" "The way people treat you here. I knew you were great, of course," she hastened to add. "H-how do they treat me?" he asked, looking down at her. "You know," she answered. "They all stop talking when you come along and stare at you. But why don't you speak to them?"
The child came at his voice, and stood looking up at him silently. "H-how old be you, Cynthy?" "Nine," answered Cynthia, promptly. "L-like the country, Cynthy like the country better than the city?" "Oh, yes," said Cynthia. "And country folks? L like country folks better than city folks?" "I didn't know many city folks," said Cynthia.
Boots, you'll drive home in my place." As he turned, still smiling and self-possessed, Eileen whispered rapidly: "Don't go. I care for you too much to ask it." He said under his breath: "Dearest, you cannot understand." "Yes I do! Don't go. Philip don't go near her " "I must." "If you do if you go h-how can you c-care for me as you say you do? when I ask you not to when I cannot endure to "
I dined with Colonel Waring and Agnes to-night, as you know." Barbara had uncovered her eyes to hold the tumbler; but she set it on the floor, as he began to speak, and shielded her face. "H-how is he?" she asked. "He gets tired rather quickly, but otherwise he's all right. Leading quite a normal life, I mean."
But there was no rush. Instead, there came hesitant foot-falls. The door of the cabin slid slowly aside. A girl appeared in the opening, desperately white and desperately composed. "H-how did you know I was there?" she asked shakily. She moistened her lips. "You didn't see me! I was in a closet, and you didn't even enter the room!" Calhoun said grimly; "I've sources of information."
