Lize paused; he saw her fully in the brave illumination the large black hat, the close-clad figure, the pallid face and as he looked, she smiled unexpectedly and, putting out her hand, patted him on the shoulder. "Good-bye, mon enfant! Go home! Youth comes but once; and this Blake he is a good boy!"
She had a bit too much heart for the game she played. And the heart is there still, for all the paint and powder and morphine she fights the world with! Poor Lize!" Max's eyes were still wide, but the anger had died down. "And the girl?" he questioned. "The girl, and the brute, and the man with the clever head? What have they all to do with each other and with her?"
He had shaved away his gray beard, and had Ross been unprepared for these changes he would have been puzzled to account for this decidedly military figure sitting statuesquely on his pony before the door. "You can prove an alibi," he called, as he drew near. "Gregg himself would never recognize you now." Wetherford was in no mood for joking. "Lize will.
Dat man he ain' goin' know no diffunce till he git out an' den, honey," she let loose upon the quiet air a sudden, great salvo of laughter, "dass let him fine Lize Mo'ton!" Bertha went to live in the tiny room with the canary bird and the engraving of the "Rock of Ages." This was putting lime to the canker, but, somehow, she felt that she could go to no other place.
Ross thanked Lee formally, but there was more than gratitude in his glance, and she turned away to hide her face from other eyes. Strange place it was for the blooming of love's roses, but they were in her cheeks as she faced her mother; and Lize, with fresh acknowledgment of her beauty, broke out again: "Well, this settles it. I'm going to get out of this town, dearie. I'm done.
Cavanagh took his turn at defending Lize. "As a matter of fact, she tried to send her daughter away, but Lee refuses to go, insisting that it is her duty to remain. In spite of her bad blood the girl is surprisingly true and sweet. She makes me wonder whether there is as much in heredity as we think." "Her blood ain't so bad.
"No, I'm not married, but " He stopped without making his meaning plain. "I'm going to leave the country and " Wetherford caught him up. "I reckon I understand what you mean. You consider Lize and me undersirable parents not just the kind you'd cut out of the herd of your own free will. Well, that's all right, I don't blame you so far as I'm concerned.
Dere's Darry, and Pete Pete, he say de meetin' de oder night war 'bout de best meetin' he eber 'tended; he wouldn't miss it for not'ing in de world; he's sure; and dere's ole 'Lize; and de two Jems no, dere's tree Jems dat is ser'ous; and Stark, and Carl, and Sharlim " "Sharlim?" said I, not knowing that this was the Caffir for Charlemagne. "Sharlim," Maria repeated.
"Look at that good-fo'-nothin' Lize Richa'ds," whispered Mom Beck's nearest neighbour, with a sniff. "She done got a nickel changed into pennies so she could ma'ch up an' show herself five times." It was nearly sundown when they started home. A tall coloured man, wearing a high silk hat and carrying a gold-headed cane, joined them on the way out.
The customer, who was now counting a box of beads, turned quickly, and she that was called Lize dropped her knitting. "What is it, Bet, for mercy's sake?" said the latter. "Have you heard the news?" said she that was called Bet. "Land sakes, no!" said both the others. Then followed a moment of suspense, during which the newcomer sat biting her under lip, a merry smile in her face.
