Won't you change your mind?" "I told you I wouldn't, Kinroy. Don't ask me." Kinroy went back to his mother and reported that Suzanne was stubborn as ever, but that the trick would in all probability work. She would go aboard the train thinking she was going to Albany.
Suzanne had looked up curiously into his eyes. "You like dancing, don't you?" she said. "I do, but I don't dance well." "Oh, I think so!" she replied. "You dance so easily." "It is because of you," he said simply. "You have the soul of the dance in you. Most people dance poorly, like myself." "I don't think so," she said, hanging on to his arm as they walked toward a seat. "Oh, there's Kinroy!
"Mama," replied Suzanne, "this is a despicable trick! You are going to be sorry for this. You have lied to me you and Kinroy. I see it now. I might have known, but I didn't believe you would lie to me, mama. I can't do anything just now, I see that very plainly. But when the time comes, you are going to be sorry. You can't control me this way. You ought to know better.
"He's one of the nicest fellows that comes here, I think," said Kinroy. "I don't like that stick, Woodward." He was referring to another man of about Eugene's age who admired his mother. "Mrs. Witla is such a queer little woman," said Suzanne. "She's so different from Mr. Witla. He's so gay and good-natured, and she's so reserved. Is she as old as he is, mama?" "I don't think so," said Mrs.
Her friendship for him was rather a healthy sign. After dinner it was proposed by Kinroy that he and his friends and Suzanne go to a dance which was being given at a club house, near the government fortifications at The Narrows, where they spread out into the lower bay. Mrs.
Dale, not wishing to exclude Eugene, who was depressed at the thought of Suzanne's going and leaving him behind, suggested that they all go. She did not care so much for dancing herself, but Suzanne had no partner and Kinroy and his friend were very much interested in the girls they were taking.
Her face was white and thin and nervous, and Kinroy was apparently strained to the breaking point. "Do you promise me faithfully," she asked her mother, who had begun her pleadings anew, corroborating Kinroy in a way, "that you will take me back to New York in two weeks if I promise to stay that long?
Kinroy and some young friend, together with two girls, were playing tennis on one of the courts. Eugene went out to watch them, and presently Suzanne returned, ruddy from a walk she had taken to a neighbor's house. At the sight of her every nerve in Eugene's body tingled he felt a great exaltation, and it seemed as though she responded in kind, for she was particularly gay and laughing.
Why not listen to common sense and stay up here three or four months?" "Don't talk like a parrot, Kinroy! I'm hearing all this from mama." When her mother reproached her, she said: "Oh, hush, mama, I don't care to hear anything more. I won't do anything of the sort. You lied to me. You said you were going to Albany. You brought me out here under a pretence. Now you can take me back.
He might kill Eugene she couldn't tell he was a courageous boy. Still there was no need for any killing, or exposure, or excitement of any kind if her mother would only behave herself. What difference did it make to her, or Kinroy, or anybody anywhere what she did? Why couldn't she if she wanted to? The risk was on her head. She was willing. She couldn't see what harm it would do.
