He said plainly to old Caxon, that Willie Howie's Kilmarnock cowl covered more sense than all the three wigs in the parish I think it is easy to make out that inuendo But the rogue shall be taught better manners." "O no, my dear sir," exclaimed Miss Wardour, "not old Edie, that we have known so long; I assure you no constable shall have my good graces that executes such a warrant."
Out of the jumble and blur out of the wrong and meaningless Howie's beautiful steady smile making it all right. She could not have told how it happened. As Howie passed, she turned to the little girl beside her whose head was without support and, not waking her, supported the child's head against her own arm.
And then "munitions" and "scrap-heap." Perhaps it was because of all this that tonight her moment had been so brief. Only for an instant Howie's smile had brought her into life. It was gone now. It had passed. She was so worn that when, at the door, her brother Tom stepped up to her she was not much surprised or even angry. Tom had no business to be following her about.
It was on Howie's smile the picture steadied that smile back over his shoulder after he had turned to go. And, as if to bring to rights what had been wrong, the smile was held, and it was as if Howie lingered, as if in leaving life he looked back over his shoulder and waited waited for his smile to reach Laura.
How those two so fatal, and not even yet wholly remedied, mistakes, brought Argyll to the block and Guthrie to the ladder in one day in Edinburgh, we read in the instructive and inspiriting histories of that terrible time; and we have no better book on that time for the mass of readers than just honest John Howie's Scots Worthies.
The one thing the picture had never given her the sense that it was hers to keep that stole through her now as the things come which we know we can never lose. For the first moment since she lost him, she had him. And all the people in that theater, and all the people in the world here was the truth! It cleared and righted as Howie's smile had righted the picture.
His moment was prolonged by his stopping to do the kind of thing Howie would do, and now it was as if that one moment was the only thing saved out of Howie's life. They who made the picture had apparently seen that the moment was worth keeping they left it as a part of the stream of life that was going by while the detective of their story waited for the men for whom he had laid a trap.

After a long struggle not to do so, she again went to the long-distance telephone to find out where that picture was being shown that picture into which was caught one moment of Howie's life as he moved through the world.
