The idea of Kilmeny in a boarding school was something that could not be thought about without laughter. "I can't see why she can't learn all she needs to learn after she is married to me, just as well as before," he grumbled to her uncle and aunt. "But we want to keep her with us for another winter yet," explained Thomas Gordon patiently.
"Kilmeny, this is my friend, Dr. Baker," he said. Kilmeny held out her hand with a smile. Her beauty, as she stood there in the fresh morning sunshine beside a clump of her sister lilies, was something to take away a man's breath.
I have one argument that will convince you speedily and that is Kilmeny Gordon herself. But we will not discuss the matter of my wisdom or lack of it just now. What I want to know is this what do you think of the case as I have stated it to you?" David frowned thoughtfully. "I hardly know what to think. It is very curious and unusual, but it is not totally unprecedented.
Williamson shook her head decidedly. "No, no, Master, she hasn't. They'd never have let her go on meeting you there if they had known. I know them too well to think of that for a moment. Go you straight to them and say to them just what you have said to me. That is your best plan, Master. And take care of Neil. People say he has a notion of Kilmeny himself.
No, it's something else something far worse. It gives me a shiver whenever I think of it. There isn't a truer word in it than that from cover to cover." "What, in heaven's name, is the meaning of all this?" exclaimed Eric. "Tell me what it is. I must know the whole truth about Kilmeny. Do not torment me." "I am going to tell you the story, Master, though it will be like opening an old wound.
I'll write your name in it that quaint, pretty name of yours which always sounds as if it had been specially invented for you 'Kilmeny of the Orchard' and the date of this perfect June day on which we read it together. Then when you look at it you will always remember me, and the white buds opening on that rosebush beside you, and the rush and murmur of the wind in the tops of those old spruces."
Master, if you take my advice, you'll give up the Lindsay school and go back to your own world as soon as may be." Eric went home with a white, haggard face. He had never thought it was possible for a man to suffer as he suffered then. What was he to do? It seemed impossible to go on with life there was NO life apart from Kilmeny.
Since you have kept your own counsel about your affairs I supposed you didn't want your true position generally known, and so I have held my tongue about you. I know no ill of you, Master, and I think none, now that I believe you were not beguiling Kilmeny to meet you unknown to her friends of set purpose.
"But I love your niece and I want to marry her if I can win her love," said Eric steadily. He surprised them out of their self possession at last. Both started, and looked at him as if they could not believe the evidence of their ears. "Marry her! Marry Kilmeny!" exclaimed Thomas Gordon incredulously. "You can't mean it, sir. Why, she is dumb Kilmeny is dumb."
Perhaps I have become better looking since I grew up." "I think perhaps your mother had found that beauty is not always a blessing, Kilmeny, and thought it wiser not to let you know you possessed it. Come, let us go back to the orchard now. We mustn't waste this rare evening in the house. There is going to be a sunset that we shall remember all our lives. The mirror will hang here. It is yours.
