The possibility of release made every hour of confinement intolerable. He experienced a certain dissatisfaction with Isa's letter. She had always since his imprisonment taken pains to write cordially. He had been "Dear Mr. Charlton," or "My Dear Mr. Charlton," and sometimes even "My Dear Friend." Isa was anxious that he should not feel any coldness in her letters.
You better make the most of it." "It's a boy. Oh! It seems too, too heavenly. My little boy! Isa, is is he beautiful?" And now no doubts remained in Isa's mind. She must pacify this very trying case. "'Bout as beautiful as they make 'em," she said slowly, and tried to remember what was given to patients when they became unmanageable.
It was a senseless interrogatory, but Isa's words almost took his breath. Isa was startled at having said so much, and only replied indistinctly that it didn't matter what people said. "Yes, but you don't know how long such things might cleave to you. Ten years hence it might be said that you had been the friend of a man who was in the penitentiary."
When Isa had been discovered she could not bring herself to continue the presents. Save that now and then there came something from his mother, in which Isa's taste and skill were evident, he received nothing more from her, except an occasional friendly letter. He appreciated her delicacy too late, and regretted that he had written about the cross at all. One Sunday, Mr.

"I believe that you are innocent." "Thank you, Miss Isabel," said Albert warmly, but then he stopped and grew red in the face. He did not give her one word of assurance. Even Isa's faith was staggered for a moment.
Abe looked at the pipe and shook his head. "That ain't mine," he said. "Where'd you pick it up, Kiddie?" "In the spare canoe, when I went down to have a bathe. I supposed you'd left it there." "Ain't used that canoe since you've bin away," said Abe. "Nobody's used it, only Isa, when he went out on the lake t' look for you that time. Mebbe it's Isa's." But the sheriff also shook his head.
"Hubshi," and pointed out that there was danger of Moussa Isa's shadow touching him, if Moussa were not careful. "I must kill you if you call me Hubshi, understanding that I am of the Somals," said Moussa Isa.
And the inconsistency between her creed and her applications of it never troubled her. She spoke with so much confidence of the salvation of little Kate, that she comforted Albert somewhat, notwithstanding his entire antagonism to Isa's system of theology. If Albert had died, Miss Marlay would have fixed up a short and easy road to bliss for him also. So much, more generous is faith than logic!
"Nothing, Tate"; and now the tears were actually falling from Isa's eyes. "I guess" she strangled over her emotions "I guess it's more like a flight inter Egypt than than a birthday party." "Get up, Bet!" Tate was routed by the event. Finally he said slowly, "See here, old woman, I'm going to look inter that baby boot, and don't you forget it.
Nothing could have been more pathetic than her absurd mingling for two days of the sincerest grief and an anxious questioning about her mourning-dress. She would ask Isa's opinion concerning her veil, and then sit down and cry piteously the next minute.
