The late colonies would be better," interrupted Katharine, with much spirit. "Oh, well, you know, I am merely anticipating, of course; we 'll have them back fast enough, after while. Now, if they "
She heard no movement outside, but Jocelyn Thew had gone. During the few remaining minutes of her solitude, Katharine felt a curious change in the atmosphere of the little disordered stateroom, in her own dazed and bruised feelings. She seemed somehow to be playing a part in a little drama which had nothing to do with real life. All her fears had vanished.
She's a typical example of the cold northern nature. I come from Devonshire " Had they been quarreling, Mary wondered, and had they, for that reason, sought refuge in her room, or were they engaged, or had Katharine just refused him? She was completely baffled.
She thought that if she were engaged to Katharine, she, too, would find herself very soon using those fretful questions with which William evidently teased his bride. And yet Katharine's voice was humble. "I wonder how you find the time to know all about pictures as well as books?" she asked. "How do I find the time?" William answered, delighted, Mary guessed, at this little compliment.
"Ah, Katharine, and there is light in my heart too."

Then she exclaimed excitedly, "See, Jessie! See!" They were just passing within sight of the hospital and, from a well-known window, a hand was waving a farewell to them.
He obeyed the suggestion, and found the copy of Wesley's Hymns given him by Katharine Drayton, but now, alas! dyed with the life- blood of a loyal heart. "Tell her," said the dying man, but he faltered in his speech. Then, with difficulty opening the book, he turned to a passage where the leaf was turned down and a hymn was marked with the letters "H.V.," the initials of Herbert Villiers.
"Who's coming to dinner?" Cassandra asked, anticipating further possibilities of rapture. "There's William, and, I believe, Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Aubrey." "I'm so glad William is coming. Did he tell you that he sent me his manuscript? I think it's wonderful I think he's almost good enough for you, Katharine." "You shall sit next to him and tell him what you think of him."
Only the dark girl, Cicely Elliott, who had gibed at her a week ago, helped her to pin her sleeve that had been torn by a sword-hilt of some man who had turned suddenly in a crowd. But Katharine had learnt, as well as the magister, that when one is poor one must accept what the gods send.
