Before going to rest, Katherine slipped away to see Miss Reynolds and ascertain if she could do anything for her before retiring. She found her reading, but Miss Reynolds at once laid down her book and welcomed the girl with a bright smile. "I am all right, Kathie, and I have been having a perfect feast," she said, touching the "Science and Health" in her lap.
Katherine glanced involuntarily at the array of bottles on the table near her, and Miss Reynolds, observing it, smiled. "True," she said, "I have been dosing myself with every remedy that I could think of, while 'halting between two opinions'; but nothing does any good, and I have come to the end of my rope, so to speak. That is why I have sent for you, Kathie to ask you to treat me your way."
"What do you think of tramps who take possession of your room and drive you out of your comfortable bed?" playfully demanded the girl, and nodding brightly at her. "I like it that is, when I have the privilege of choosing the tramp," her teacher laughingly responded, as she sat up and glanced at the clock; "besides, this couch is every bit as comfortable as the bed. Did you rest well, Kathie?"
Needless to say, they disappeared with amazing rapidity, the guests loudly acclaiming their toothsome merits. "I'm glad you like them," declared Kathie, pink with pleasant confusion. "I took a course in cookery at a night school at home last year. I often used to make this kind of cakes for parties. I had lots of orders and made enough money to pay my tuition fees at Wellington for this year."
Tennyson laughed every time she looked out. I think Lu would have hopped and minced up and down the walk until night, if Winnie's mother hadn't told them it was time to go. "I don't like her old steps," said Kathie. They were sitting on a daisy bank near Mr. Medway's. "Well, I do," said Lu. "And you would, too, if you wasn't so chunked. You just bounced up and down." Kathie burst out crying.
"He hasn't scrapped with me, yet, Kathie," smiled the beauty. "Don't let him," advised the other. "It mightn't be safe. Still, I suppose you understand him by now, down to the ground." "Indeed I do not. Didn't I tell you he was unexpected?
"Darrell, my dear, I would like to meet your 'Kathie, but that can never be in this world. But you will meet her again, and when you do, give her a mother's love and blessing from me." Then, laying her hand on his arm, she added: "I understand now your question regarding Marion. As I told you, it is difficult to judge anything about her real feelings.
"I'll bet dancing steps is wicked, for you never was so mean before in your life, so! And you didn't dance near so pretty as Winnie, and you needn't think you ever will, for you never will!" "Oh! I won't, won't I?" said Lu, teasingly. "No, you won't. I won't be wicked and say you are nice, for you're horrid." "You're wicked this minute, Kathie Dysart, for you're mad."
"Wonder what happened to the one he was really cleaning." "That I may possibly find out," Rand said. "The general incompetence with which this murder was committed gives me plenty of room to hope that it may still be lying around somewhere." "Well, have you thought that it might just be suicide?" Kathie asked. "I have, very briefly; I dismissed the thought, almost at once," Rand told her.
Darrell's face grew marvellously tender; he drew her head down upon his breast while he caressed the rippling hair with its waves of light and shade. "This night will always have golden memories for me, Kathie," he said, "and neither days nor years can ever dim their lustre; of that I am sure."
