My Joyce is not working for appreciation, nor for praise, but just to better these who have become peculiarly her own people. Let us be patient, dear." And Joyce, though bruised and worn, was not quite beaten, though the evening had been so far from realizing her anticipations. Lucy and Rachel had been pleased, at least. That was something! "In every house, Miss Lavillotte?
"It is silly of me, but it does seem such a novel scheme, and one that might help all without impoverishing any, if rightly used. I have really been anxious to watch its practical working. Thank you for letting me bother you so." "'Tis no bodder. I like to see you always, Mees Lavillotte. Come often and again." "I will be glad to.
To steady himself he kept his eyes mostly on a little black figure, some distance away. It was close by the side of Miss Lavillotte, but its face never turned from watching him; and he knew that, from the hour the young girl had stood bravely in court and exonerated him from all blame, she had put the sad past behind her and accepted a brighter, happier future.
So I concluded he was across the water." "You didn't like Miss Lavillotte at first, did you, Rachel?" asked young Peter. The girl laughed out, a low laugh in deference to the dead. "Yes, I liked her so well I tried not to notice her! I expected she'd do something high and mighty to make me mad, so I held myself back. But I found I didn't need to. I was soon ashamed of it.
It was a long and not too pleasant drive, but Joyce Lavillotte was too busy with her thoughts to mind, and Gilbert Judson too intent upon the safe guidance of her spirited team to care. The dreamer inside was indeed surprised when he stopped and, glancing out, she saw they had reached their destination.
The other girl will be a trained one sent by the company. Will you select my night men? They must be sober fellows possibly somebody can be found who is not good in the Works." "I'll see to it, and, Miss Lavillotte " "Well?" "Who put all these ideas into your head, please? You are so young!" She smiled, while blushing deeply. "Won't you give me any credit for originality, Mr. Dalton?
You're welcome to them for as long as you like to study them." "Wouldn't I like them! If you knew how I've wanted to get hold of such things, but they cost awfully. I'll be careful, Miss Lavillotte, and put strong paper covers on them. You're sure you'd just as soon let me have them?" He was like a boy in his enthusiastic joy. "Perfectly sure. Will you come around, or shall I send them?
It was an honest rivalry, which hurt nobody, and the men, better fed at their evening meal, began to linger at home to join in the children's geographical and other games, picked up at school, or to accompany their families over to the Social-house, to listen to the orchestra made up of their older sons, to hear Miss Lavillotte play and sing, to witness an exhibition of kinetoscope pictures, or sometimes just to meet other friends and simply bask in the light and ease of the pretty rooms.
Now tell me, please, where is there some good, kind man or woman to go and nurse that boy?" "You mean Gus? Oh, really, Miss Lavillotte, he couldn't pay anybody if you sent them. The neighbors will look after him. They're kind in such cases. Let's see" bowing his guests out of the door and locking it behind him "Gus keeps bachelor's hall with two or three of the other boys, doesn't he?
"And Mr. Dalton, it ain't any of my business, but us folks can't help noticing how things are going with our bosses specially when we're fond of them. I hope it's true about you and Miss Lavillotte, for I believe you're just made for each other you don't mind my speaking out?" "No, Dan; it's all been speaking out to-night. Just between ourselves and the Heaven up there.
