Yet in that first minute, with Margaret and the Colonel perched on the sill, and the Highlander and I standing on the sacks of barley, I saw another thing happen, for the big things of life come into it with the swiftness of light and the inevitability of death. A chieftain proudly climbed the wagon; a bond-servant humbly handed Margaret down.
Suspense added its burdensome insistent question, but he could not bring himself to ask August if the marriage had taken place. For a day he fought to resign himself to the inevitability of the Mormon custom, to forget Mescal, and then he gave up trying.

Sheila looked up a yard or two of youth and accepted Mr. Gates's invitation for "the next." The head at the top of the tower bent itself down to her with a snakelike motion. "Us fellows," it said, "have been aiming to give you a good time to-night." Sheila was relieved to find him within hearing. Her smile dawned enchantingly.
