And now, kitten, what do you say to finding Peggy and her father and going somewhere to have some cakes and hot chocolate?" Through the soft April sunlight they went towards the White House and the thronging streets. Keineth walked quickly, eager to find Peggy and tell her everything! How glad Peg would be! She hummed a few notes without realizing that it was a strain from her own music!
"You know child, we're given things in this world good health and fortune and gifts like your music and my writing but I don't believe we're given them just to enjoy them ourselves! We're meant to share them! I haven't told you the other picture, my dear!" "Oh, no!" cried Keineth. How could she have forgotten Aunt Josephine! "I've had a dream, Keineth, these months that I've been gone!
They all wore white and the arch was covered with roses. Grandma Sparks loves to tell of it and how Washington patted her great-great-grandmother on the head! If you ask her to tell you the story she will be very happy, Keineth." "I like her guns best " cried Billy. "She's got all kinds of guns and things they used way back in the Revolution!"
But Daddy had asked Keineth never to go alone outside of the square nor out of sight of the windows of their own home, and Keineth, all her life, had always wanted to do exactly as her father asked her. The evenings to Keineth were the happiest, for, after his work was finished, Daddy always took her out somewhere for dinner.
You know he just means me to do my duty and to like Overlook and everybody and to do what they do, but it makes me feel better to pretend that I am a soldier like he is and like all your soldiers. Thank you if you send my letter to my father and much love. Yours truly, Keineth Randolph.
Lee loved your mother very, very dearly, and I know would be very good to you." He gently lifted her down from off his knee, which meant that he had work to do and that Keineth must leave the room. She sought out Tante upstairs. The good woman had closed her last box and was dressed ready to start on her long trip, although the boat would not leave until the next day.
We must see something of him now and then, my dear!" "Oh, he will be glad!" Keineth described the big house on the outskirts of the city where she had gone with her check; its lonely rooms that all his money could not make cheerful. That led her to tell of the beautiful books and how Mr.
Keineth could shut from her eyes Aunt Nellie's pity, but she could not shut from her mind the flood of thoughts that came. Cruel thoughts, too, which her persistent "I don't believe it" failed to drive away! She had seen a picture once of a sinking ship; a great wave of water had engulfed it, men were clinging to its side like flies! She remembered it now!
Though her manner toward the younger children was at first a little patronizing, after a few hours at home it quickly gave way to the old-time comradeship. As soon as she could Peggy dragged her to her room and read to her the lines of the play which she and Keineth had scribbled on countless sheets of paper. Barbara promised to help.
"What can we do?" asked Keineth, sensing a tragedy. "I don't care anything about the shoes," answered Billy, "'cause I'd just as soon wear these old ones as not what d' I care about shoes? But mother'll say that we can't keep the dog!" "He's only on trial " Peggy broke in sadly. "If you girls could keep it a secret we'd give Pilot another chance " "Alice is sure to tell! She can't keep anything!"
