When Sarah left Killamet, though she wore her white cross, she did not change her membership into any new circle of King's Daughters, but still remained one of Miss Prue's "Helpful Ten," as they called themselves in that little town. Now she and Molly joined a Dartmoor circle, and were soon known as active working members.
Morton wondered what this stranger could have expected better than this, and remarked encouragingly, "She's got carpets on most all her rooms, and she hooks the nicest rugs in Killamet, all big flowers, or cats lying down, the prettiest you ever saw!" "Aunt Felicie, do you hear that?" flinging the question over his shoulder. "We are about to meet your rival!
They went early, as was the fashion in Killamet, Morton stiff and conscious in his new suit, and baby filled with undisguised admiration for his own new shoes, while both girls looked so unusually "dressed-up" in their Boston finery, that Miss Prue naturally concluded good Reuben Olmstead must have left his family well provided for during his absence, and had not the slightest idea how closely pressed they were for actual money.
"This is the second time I've had to ask your pardon; will you make up, and be friends? I like you, and if they've got any more of your sort here, I shall like Killamet!" Morton extended his hand readily enough, and felt it seized in a close, strong pressure which pleased him, though he could not have told why, and the young man turned again to his aunt.
Well, she needn't, for there isn't a poorer needlewoman in Killamet. There's the queer thing about that woman she can't really do one thing well, yet her satisfaction is complete."
Do you know, that whole affair has always seemed providential to me? I was a passive instrument in wiser hands." "As we all are, more often than we think -well, good- by, and when you long for a sight of the old home, and the sea, you will always be welcome here." It was Sara's only visit to the cottage, for her stay in Killamet was necessarily short.
"If I promise I shall break it," said the honest girl; "for they will speak to me, and I shall forget when I'm away from you." "Then, Molly," with sudden resolution, "I shall resign my position, and take you back to Killamet. I can make enough with my pen to keep us from starving." Molly looked at her, and knowing she was in deadly earnest burst out,
She had expected to take the stage around the long way from Norcross to Killamet; but when she descended from the train what was her pleased surprise to be greeted by Bertha and of all people Jasper! They informed her they had rowed across the bay on purpose to take her home.
You paint flowers, and she, just hear the alarming word, she 'hooks' them! Cats, too, and dogs, did you say? Does the verb have a dishonest meaning here in Killamet, my boy?" Morton stared back wonderingly, not understanding much except that in some way either he or Miss Zeba, or perhaps Killamet in general, was being held up to ridicule, and that it was his business to resent it.
"Yes; but it won't take so very long to finish my little capital, then what will I do if there is no work to be got? and you know there isn't any here." "Advertise for summer boarders," said Miss Prue brilliantly. "I don't know why people shouldn't come to Killamet, as well as to fifty other places along this coast.
