Lee's voice was husky, he had to clear it two or three times before he could speak, and all the while Keineth's great eyes were fastened gravely upon him, demanding the truth. "It may be a false report, my dear. There's been an accident at sea, and according to the paper " "My daddy was in it!" cried Keineth, putting her hands to her face.
Sometimes Tante went with them, looking very prim in her tailor-made suit of gray woolen cloth and her small gray hat. On these picnic dinners, as Daddy called them, Daddy was always in rollicking spirits, keeping up such a torrent of nonsense that Keineth was often quite exhausted from laughing.
There seemed to be no beginning or end to the melody it ran on and on, now plaintive, like a small voice crying now full of laughter with a happy note like that of a bird. "Child " Mrs. Lee stepped through the long window into the room. Keineth turned quickly. "I didn't know anyone was here," she said, shyly. But Mrs. Lee scarcely heard her.
"And so I'd like to buy him, please," Keineth finished, laying her check before him. For a long time the old man stared at it, while Keineth and Pilot waited. "He loves you better than he does me! You're right he wasn't happy here he's cried and cried! I can't keep even a dog's love! Take him." He slowly lifted the check, read it, turned it over, folded it and put it in his pocket.
Grandison had one day taken her and Peggy to see "Pollyanna"; of riding there in the big limousine and wearing the precious pink dresses! The afternoon sun was dropping. The concert had ended and the crowds were slowly moving away. John Randolph's face wore its far-away look as though he was dreaming things. His eyes, as he turned them upon Keineth, were very serious.
I want him in my official family I need his judgment and advice need it badly! If he tries to refuse me then you must make him do what I want him to do! Wouldn't you like to live in Washington?" "Oh yes!" cried Keineth, then she stopped short. "But it wouldn't have to be a secret, would it?" The President broke into a hearty laugh. "No, indeed, my dear!"
If they won now and everyone said they would they'd all think it was Keineth that had won it. They'd make an awful fuss over her they always did over girls and there'd be no living with either her or Peggy. He could throw the game, just fall down on one or two returns and no one would know the difference!
"You you " He stared at her in such a funny way that Keineth burst out laughing. "Why, my dear " "Aunt Nellie taught me to write music! And I sold this! I didn't want to tell you until I had a chance to play it for you." "You wrote that?" He seemed not able to really believe. "My little girl?" A world of pride warmed the tone of his voice.
The next game Keineth won alone if Billy could not play she'd play for him! Her little teeth, clenched tight together, gleamed white through her parted lips. The crimson of her cheeks mounted into her fair hair. "What a picture!" Mrs. Lee whispered to her husband. She was not thinking of the game at all. "What a spirit! Think, William, what that can mean in this world when the child's grown up!"
"She played way over her head," he answered sullenly to the praise his family bestowed upon her. One more set put them in the final match against Jim Downer and his sister Helen. A taste of victory had given to Keineth a poise that steadied her in her game; this matching of strength, skill and quickness something she had never known before had developed a surprising confidence in herself.
