With her hands clasped on the cage of the canary, she gazed thoughtfully at Kesiah, who was sitting a little in front of her, with her eyeglasses on her nose and the daily paper opened before her. Gay was to meet them in Richmond, and as Molly remembered this now, she realized that her feeling about their meeting had changed during the last few hours.
When the restlessness was appeased, the desire in which it had revealed itself slowly evaporated. "How is your mother?" was Blossom's first eager question, "oh, I do hope she is better!" "Better, yes, but we're still awfully anxious, the least shock may kill her Aunt Kesiah and I are walking on pins and needles. How are you, Beauty? Did you enjoy your visit?"
How much was known, he now wondered. Had his uncle provided for her? Was his mother was his Aunt Kesiah aware of the truth? "She missed my letter, I suppose," he replied. "Has she been long away?" "Only a week. She is expected home day after to-morrow." "Then I shall beg you to open the house for me."
"Why do you say that?" he asked, "she has always seemed to me to have everything she wanted. If she hadn't had mother to occupy her time, what under heaven would have become of her?" "I wonder?" she returned; "but has it ever occurred to you that Aunt Kesiah and I are not exactly alike, Jonathan?" "Well, rather. What are you driving at?"
An expression of suffering patience came into the old gentleman's face, and he averted his gaze as he had done before the looming countenance of Kesiah. "Your uncle rarely spoke to me of her," he answered, "but I have reason to know that her existence was a constant source of distress to him.
As Kesiah lifted a caterpillar on a leaf, and carefully laid it in the centre of the grassy walk, she thought quite cheerfully that nobody had ever wondered about her character, and that it must be rather nice to have some one do so. "I don't know, Jonathan; you will tread on that caterpillar if you aren't careful." "Hang the caterpillar!
"Of course he's a very admirable young man, but it's out of the question that Molly should worry her mind about him after he has gone and married another woman." Her logic seemed rather feeble to Gay, but as he had told himself often before, Kesiah never could argue. "I hear the fellow's come out quite surprisingly. Mr.
"If you'll believe me, he wasn't more than six months old when I said to his father that I could tell by the look of him he was intended for the ministry. Such sweetness, such self-control even as an infant." "How happy he must make you! And then, to have the privilege of hearing his beautiful sermons! But you'll lose him some day, as I was just saying to Kesiah.
Then Kesiah turned suddenly from the radiator, and there was an expression in her face which reminded Molly of the old lady with the bonnet trimmed with artificial purple wistaria she had seen on the train an expression of useless knowledge and regret, as though she realized that she had missed the essential thing and that it was life, after all, that had been to blame for it.
"Kesiah says that she has behaved very well. Didn't you say so, Kesiah?" "Yes, Mr. Chamberlayne told me that she appeared perfectly indifferent when he spoke to her. She even remarked, I believe, that she didn't see that it concerned her." "Well, she's spirit enough. Now stop talking, mother, I am going." "God bless you, my darling boy you have never failed me."
