They talked lightly, but what they said proved to both simply an airy veil for what they did not say. Katrina spoke of the club and the tennis tournament. "Of course, we lost," she said. "Our best man," with a sidelong look, "did not enter. The committee said that he was away on business. I see now that they were misinformed." "But they weren't," said the young man, eagerly, "if you mean me.
Lisa is a good woman, but she can never have the patience with Jan that his own folks had." That was what he thought. And he was right about it, too! Katrina suddenly looked down at her hands. After all, perhaps she was deceiving herself in laying the blame on them. The real reason for her desertion of Jan was this: the daughter had the stronger will and she seemed unable to oppose her.
The spot where my mother was born, and where her ashes now rest, is perhaps profaned and trodden under foot, and I am powerless to defend and protect it." These thoughts saddened Erik. Sometimes he would tell himself that he had a mother in Dame Katrina, and a home at Mr. Hersebom's, and that Noroe was his country.
Aunt Kate, who had never said what was untrue who, Norma and her children firmly believed, could not say what was untrue had taken away, once and for all, the veil of mystery and romance that had wrapped Norma for three exciting years. For Leslie, and Katrina, and Mary Bishop, perhaps, travel and the thrill of foreign shores or European courts.
They were not at all averse to hearing about the Empress and immediately asked him if Her Highness was well and if she was not expected home soon. They also asked if they might be allowed to step into the hut, to see how it looked inside. That he could well afford to let them do, for Katrina always kept the house so clean and tidy that they could receive callers there at any time.
It is relieved by Ichabod's tender reminiscences of Katrina Van Tassel at the spinning-wheel, and is dedicated to Joseffy, the pianist, who lives in the region about Sleepy Hollow.
Mad Ingeborg was first cousin to Jan. But as she was afraid of Katrina he seldom saw her. It was to escape meeting Jan's wife that she had sought him out at Falla during his work hours. Jan was none too pleased to see Ingeborg! She was not exactly insane, but flighty and a terrible chatterer. He went right on with his work, taking no notice of her.
The carving is a distinct branch, that does not belong to my department; but if you will knock at the arched door on the right hand side of the hall, Sister Katrina, who has charge of that work, will take pleasure in exhibiting the process. Mr. Kendall knows the 'Anchorage' so well, he needs no guide to the work-rooms.
It would not be surprising, thought he, if Glory Goldie had turned to the old mistress of Falla and asked her to tell him and Katrina of the great thing that had come to her. For the old seine-maker had been taken down with rheumatic fever shortly after their interrupted conversation, and for weeks he had been too ill to see him. Now he was up and about again, but very feeble.
How had they thought of tying him to the buoy? How many hours had he been floating on the waves? Where were his father and mother, those who loved him? But all these questions had to remain unanswered, the poor baby was unable to give us any information. In half an hour I was at home, and gave my new possession to Katrina.
