From some unknown and unquestioned source she was becoming penetrated with the "scorn for miserable aims that end with self," and by the time that she was ready to return to Kingdon Hall her life had become so informed with its new purpose that she looked forward to the leisure which her removal there would give with real satisfaction in its opportunity for better work.
As I said, he's a prompt, gentle little bell-boy, slight, looks rather young for his job, but that very youth and innocence of his make him such a fellow to trust! "Nat," says Mrs. Kingdon, tearfully pressing half a dollar into the nice lad's hand, "I I've lost something and I want you to to help me find it." "Yes'm," says Nat. He's the soul of politeness.
She flew out into the hall, I after her. And first thing you know we were down in the street, around the corner, and there in front of the church was a carriage with Moriway just helping Mrs. Kingdon out. "Mother!" At that cry the old lady's knees seemed to crumble under her. Her poor old painted face looked out ghastly and ashamed from her wedding finery.
It was quite characteristic of Ralph Hambleton that he should go, out of curiosity, to the gathering at Kingdon Hall, and drop into my office the next morning. "Well, Hughie, they're after you," he said with a grin. "After me? Why not include yourself?" He sat down and stretched his long legs and his long arms, and smiled as he gaped. "Oh, they'll never get me," he said.
He was now an old man, and his reign does not seem to have been much prolonged; but "the glory of his kingdon," his "honor and brightness" returned; his last days were as brilliant as his first: his sun set in an unclouded sky, shorn of none of the rays that had given splendor to its noonday.
All her sister could do was to stay with her and comfort her to the last, and to see that she was quietly laid to rest in a decent grave. She was buried in a quiet little city churchyard, somewhere where there are green trees among the smoke of the chimney-pots. Montagu Kingdon had been dead some years when that happened." "Is that last letter still in existence?" I asked.
I did not stir when ineffaceable brutality the batteries on the heights began to play upon us, the shot falling round us, and passing over our heads, and musket-firing followed. "Damned villains! Faithless brutes!" cried Kingdon beside me. I did not speak a word, but stood there defiant, as when we first had turned back.
Maynard, gaily, though there was a lump in his own throat as Gladys and Marjorie threw their arms about each other's neck for the last time. The Fultons were to leave very early the next morning, and the girls would not meet again. Both were sobbing, and Dick and Kingdon stood by, truly distressed at their sisters' grief. "Come, dearie, let Gladys go now," said Mrs.
"I'se never been, eever," said Rosy Posy, wistfully, "and so Boffin hasn't, too. But we don't want to go, us wants to stay home wiv Muvver." "And I say, Mops, look out for the Baltimore oriole," went on Kingdon. "He had a nest in the big white birch last year, and like as not he'll be there again."
She had no child to which to give it; she would give it to the child who was once herself. She came home with a lighter heart and with the knowledge of what she had to do. She put on her blue house coat and sat down to her desk with its embossed leather fittings, and there under the lovely, lamp which Kingdon Knox had given her she wrote to Nannie. She gave the letter to Nannie the next morning.
