Jeanette had gone through school and was spending the year in Europe with her mother, and she would be home in May; and in June in June of 1904 why, the almanac stopped there; the world had no further interest, and no one on earth could imagine anything after that. For then they proposed not to be sensible any longer.
And so yesterday I cleaned up the whole deal forever." He paused to let it sink in. Finally Jeanette asked, "And are we poor, father poor?" "Well, my dear," he expanded, "your grandmother Barclay has always owned this house. An Omaha syndicate owns the mill. I own $5,000 in bank stock, and the boy who marries you for your money right now is going to get badly left."
And with this sad experience in the past can you blame me if I am slow, very slow to let the broken tendrils of my heart entwine again?" "I will think on it but for the present let us change the subject." "Do you think Jeanette is happy? She seems so different from what she used to be," said Miss Tabitha Jones to several friends who were spending the evening with her.
Leighton went on. "Look well about you, boy. No wheel has jarred this silence for many a year not since I bought the land you see and closed the road. Man seldom comes here now, only children in the fall of the year when the chestnuts are ripe. Jeanette liked children. She was never anything but a child herself.
She galloped over the prairie, as if the very deuce had been after her. But if he was not, the javalies were; for on came the whole drove, scores of them, grunting and screaming as they ran. The horses easily distanced them. So, too, did Marengo but there was still danger for Jeanette. She had been now nearly two days without either food or water, and was weak in consequence.
And never, in twenty-two years of respectable tenancy, had the furtive lodger oozed, under darkness, through the Plush front door by night, or a huddle of sidewalk trunks and trappings staged the drab domestic tragedy of the dispossessed. Jeanette Peopping, born in the back parlor, was married out of the front.
It was lying by the foot of a large tree, against which, no doubt, it had got the squeeze that had killed it. While retreating it had sprung upon Jeanette; and the latter, in her endeavours to escape, had in the darkness rushed violently against the tree, crushing the cougar, and killing it instantly!
Very pleasant was the reception Jeanette Roland gave Mr. Romaine. There was no reproof upon her lips nor implied censure in her manner. True he had been disguised by liquor or to use a softer phrase, had taken too much wine. But others had done the same and treated it as a merry escapade, and why should she be so particular?
Why, I didn't see Jeanette until the fourteenth day, when most women are up and out. The crisis, you know. My night nurse, an awful sweet girl I send her a Christmas present to this day said if I had been six years younger it wouldn't have gone so hard with me.
"Thou, with voice so silvery clear, I your dearest wish will hear." As Jeanette spoke the lines she held her wand above Dorothy's head. "Song! Ah, let me always sing For the peasant, or the king, For the ones I hold most dear, For all hearts that I may cheer,"
