"He has given His angels charge over thee." Oh God! Dear God! What glorious, blessed words! Lafe's angels, her angels Jinnie's heart throbbed with faith. Once Lafe had told her no one, no, not even Maudlin Bates, could keep her own from her! Her honor and her very life were in the tender hands of the cobbler's angels.
Mechanically she drew her sleeve across her face. "I'm going to ask you to be awful good, Bobbie," she pleaded presently. "Lafe's being arrested is hard on Peg and she's sick." Bobbie burst in on her words. "But they'll sit my cobbler in a wicked chair, and kill him, Jinnie. Peggy said they would." "You remember, Bobbie," soothed the girl, "what Lafe said about God's angels, don't you?"
King smiled and glanced at the cobbler, but Lafe's face was so drawn and white that Theodore looked away again. He couldn't make it seem right that he should bring about such sorrow as this, yet the thought of Jinnie and what he wanted her to be proved a greater argument with him than the grief of her family.
How infinitely close he seemed to her! How the memory of his smile cheered and strengthened her! From the tip of the fiddle tucked under a rounded chin to the line of purple-black hair, the blood rushed in riotous confusion over the fiddler's lovely face. What was it in Lafe's story that had brought Theodore King so near? Jinnie couldn't have told, but she was sure the fiddle knew.
Then, and only then, the scene below was illuminated by the flash and roar of hostile artillery. A shell exploded with a deafening report so near their Bleriot that it was evident that the firer had sighted them during Lafe's last lower swoop. On the instant Blaine pressed a trigger, elevating the sharp nose of the machine.
I lost 'em a long time ago, and went to live with Mag. She licked me every day, so I just runned away I've been here a awful long time." Jinnie considered a moment before explaining an idea that had slipped into her mind as if it belonged there. She would take him home with her. "You're going to Lafe's house," she announced presently. "Happy Pete and me and Peg live at Lafe Grandoken's home.
