Trust, for himself and for his loved Karen, went out to her and took refuge beneath the great wings she spread. And as she held his hands and smiled upon him he told her in his earnest, honest German, all that had happened to him and Karen; of his walking-tour; and of the meeting on the Falmouth headland at dawn; and of their journey here.
But when she saw Karen's wistful look, she turned quickly to her friends and said, "Let me, instead, choose the queen; and I will choose Karen Klasson. I want this to be the happiest day of all the year for her." "One queen is as good as another," said Nils Jorn cheerfully; so they led Karen back to the May-pole and she was made queen of the festival and crowned with green leaves.
We must go and gather flowers and birch leaves to decorate the house." "But we must put away our work first," said orderly Karen, gathering up her paints and brushes. Gerda ran to push the loom back into the corner. As she did so, she said with a smile, "The first rug I ever made was very ugly. It had a great many dark strips in it.
I have been waiting for you." His relief was so intense that, turning up the lights, seeing her sitting there on a little sofa near the door, he bent involuntarily over her to kiss her. But her hand put him away. "No; I must speak to you," she said. Gregory straightened himself, compressing his lips. Karen had evidently not thought of changing. She wore her dark-blue silk dress.
But I'm convinced that to break social laws and these laws about men and women have deeper than merely social sanctions to break them, I'm convinced, can bring no happiness. I feel about your mother, and what she did I say it with all reverence that she was as mistaken as she was unfortunate. And I beg of you, Karen, never to follow her example." "It is not for you to speak of her!"
"Not straight off," Penny answered, with an obvious effort to remember clearly every detail. "Let's see Oh, yes! That hand was played out before Ralph had finished playing his, at our table, so I was free to pay attention to the other table. Flora said that since they couldn't play another hand until Dexter came back, she thought she'd better hunt up Karen, who hadn't come back yet."
Madame von Marwitz, suddenly afraid, rose and went to her and stooped over her. And, for a dreadful moment, she did not know whether it was with fear or hope that she scanned the deathly face. Abysses of horror seemed to fall within her as she thus bent over Karen and wondered whether she had died. It had been a foolish fear. The child had not even fainted.
"Hasn't Miss Scrotton written?" "Does my cousin keep you posted as a rule?" Gregory asked, as Karen shook her head. "No; but Tante asks her to write sometimes, when she is too tired or rushed; and I had a letter from her, giving me their plans, only a few days ago; so that I know that all is well.
"Good-bye," the two little girls said to each other, and Karen went down to the landing-place to watch the launch steam away. Gerda stood quietly beside the rail, looking back at the island, long after Karen's rainbow skirt and the lighthouse had faded from sight. "I will give you two öre for your thoughts, if they are worth it," her father said at last.
I am glad it is not a day of rain for our happiness." And she then added, "I hope we may be married." "Why, we are to be married, dear child," Gregory said, smiling at her. "There is no 'may' about it, since you love me." "Only one," said Karen, who still looked at her mother's face. "And perhaps it will be well not to speak much of our love till we can know.
