But she was spared that scene. Moments, though they seemed ages, passed, and then Huntter called: "Miss Glynn!" She hardly recognized his voice. It was triumphant, thrilling. It rang boldly, commandingly. When she entered, Huntter was alone. Gone was the guest; gone the mass of golden roses. Huntter turned a face glowing and confident to her.
"It's about Margaret Margaret Moffatt." "The All Woman, the happiest creature, next to what you're going to be, in all God's world?" "No!" "No? Priscilla, what do you mean?" "Do not move. Please do not look up. She is engaged to to Clyde Huntter!" "Well?" "I did not know; she never mentioned his name. While we played, names did not matter his, mine, no one's."
An hysterical gasp caused Travers to start. "No, please keep your face turned. I must tell you in my way. I have just taken care of Mr. Huntter. He is not fit to marry any woman he cannot marry Margaret! Doctor Hapgood told him, but he means to marry! She came to see him; she did not see me; she does not know; but she must know!" fiercely; "she must know!
I meant to tell you and mother to-night. I went to her from the vessel. Priscilla Glynn took care of Huntter without knowing of his connection in the Moffatt affair. Above all else in the world" Travers's voice shook "she adores Margaret Moffatt, knows her intimately, and wishes, blindly, to serve her as she understands her. There are such women, you know, and they are becoming more numerous.
"Let me send Margaret to you," pleaded the father at his wits' end. "Huntter is away. Will not be back until to-morrow. Perhaps you can move her. You brought her into the world; you ought to try and keep her here." At four Margaret entered Ledyard's office. She was very white, very self-possessed, but gently smiling.
No straighter, more honourable man breathes than he. He was one of the victims of ignorance and crooked reasoning, but, thank God! he was spared the worst." "He was not." "Dick, in God's name, what do you mean?" "Hapgood was called in. Huntter has not been in Bermuda; he has been right here in New York, under Hapgood's care." "And Hapgood told you?" A purplish flush dyed Ledyard's face. "No."
"Helen telephoned at seven. She thought you were on your way here. Did you get lost?" "Yes." "What's the matter, Dick? You look as if you had seen a ghost." "I have. An army of them." "Are you ill?" "No." "Sit down, boy. Here, take a swallow of wine. You're used up. Now then!" "Doctor Ledyard, you were wrong about Huntter!
I'm going to tell you everything; even to the mentioning of names! I've always hated to label my joy before. But, first, take some chocolate; it's hot and piping. Now! Who did you nurse in Bermuda? I'm going to tell him, or her, what I think of him!" "I nursed Mr. Clyde Huntter. We were in New York all the time. That is why I had to keep still " "Mr. Clyde Huntter?"
But his next words were kindness alone. "There should have been two nurses all along. One forgets your youth in your efficiency. Good morning." When Priscilla stood beside Huntter again his wan face, close-shut eyes, and grim mouth almost frightened her. "I want to sleep," he said briefly. "Draw down the shades." The night nurse became a staple joke between her and Huntter.
You believe what I have told you?" "I do." "You know Doctor Hapgood will do no more?" "He cannot." "If you go to Doctor Ledyard and he knows and believes what will he do?" "He has been Huntter's physician for years. If he has been mistaken, he will go to Huntter." "Go to Huntter! And what then? Suppose Mr. Huntter still takes the chance?" "Ledyard will he will forbid it!"
