Hunter was gone Elizabeth thought the matter over seriously. Neither Hepsie nor any other girl they could get in that country was going to have her work inspected as if she were a slave. They were free-born American women, ignorant of many things regarding the finer kinds of housekeeping in most instances, but independent from birth and surroundings.
Well, Hepsie, I need only say that this gentleman and I decided to marry against grandfather's desire. We were married in Johannesburg, to his great displeasure, so he refused to have anything to do with us, and returned to England, declaring he would never speak to me again. "I never thought that he really meant such a thing, he had always loved me so dearly, and I loved him so much.
Noland told Hepsie he was agoin' t' leave his share of th' land to Lizzie, 'cause Doc Morgan says She'll never be strong again after overworkin' for all them men, an' things. An' she says he felt awful bad 'cause he was a layin' there sick so long an' her a havin' t' do for 'im when she wasn't able an' do you know, she thinks that's why he killed hisself? I always did like 'im.
Hepsie had hurried to get started early for her home and Elizabeth had entered into her plans and offered assistance. "Why don't you let Hepsie finish them alone?" John said petulantly. Elizabeth made no reply, but took Jack on her lap and rocked him to keep herself occupied. There was less opportunity for disagreement if the child were still while his father talked.
"I know I ought to be shaken, and ought to be ashamed of myself but it's no use I'm not either one or the other, only I wish I hadn't done it now, because I've vexed you on Christmas morning!" Mrs. Erldon walked along, looking straight ahead. "I'd rather you did shake me," said Hepsie, in a quivering tone, "only you couldn't do such a thing, I know.
Saturday night the girl came to Elizabeth and said, without looking her in the face at all: "Jake says, if he can have th' team, he'll take me home. I I think I won't stay any longer." "Do you have to go, Hepsie?" Elizabeth said, her face troubled. Hepsie avoided her glance because she knew the trouble was there.
Also, when Elizabeth went to the little schoolhouse to meeting the first Sunday of her widowhood, being determined to be a part of the community in which she lived, Hepsie was on the outskirts of the little crowd after services were over, to explain in a whisper that Lizzie was "goin' t' go t' meetin' now like she'd always wanted to do, only Mr.
Hepsie had gone upstairs, and as Elizabeth opened the oven door a cloud of smoke rolled out which nearly blinded her and set her to coughing. Sadie followed her in and somehow her mood changed as she looked over the well-kept kitchen. Something in the tidy order and tasty arrangement of its shelves hurt. Sadie was not a natural housekeeper.
He took the child from her arms and sat down to rock it while he waited for the supper to be put on the table. "Say," he began, "I saw Hepsie setting the sponge for to-morrow's bread as I came through the kitchen. I'll take care of baby, and you go and see about it. The bread hasn't been up to standard since you've been sick.
It was a glorious afternoon, and when Mrs. Erldon settled down for a rest, Hepsie asked if she might go out for a run, to which her mother at once agreed.
