I thought it was a doll, and I ran forward to take it; but some one held up her finger and said: 'Hush! it is a little dead baby. And I said: 'Oh, I must go and call Lyndall, that she may look at it also. "And they put their faces close down to my ear and whispered: 'It is Lyndall's baby. "And I said: 'She cannot be grown up yet; she is only a little girl!
The last words were uttered with the air of one who produces a clinching argument. What effect it had on the questioner was not evident, for he made no reply, and turned away from her. Drawing closer to Lyndall's feet, he said after a while in a low voice: "Lyndall, has it never seemed to you that the stones were talking with you?
"You will know them too some day, and then you will think differently," said Em, with the condescending magnanimity which superior knowledge can always afford to show to ignorance. Lyndall's little lip quivered in a manner indicative of intense amusement.
So they would keep on crowing, and coming to light fires, when for him that old colourless existence was but a dream. He went into the house to say good-bye to Em, and then he walked to the door of Lyndall's room to wake her; but she was up, and standing in the doorway. "So you are ready," she said. Waldo looked at her with sudden heaviness; the exhilaration died out of his heart.
But unexpected relief came to him from Doss, who, too deeply lost in contemplation of his crevice, was surprised by the sudden descent of the stone Lyndall's foot had loosened, which, rolling against his little front paw, carried away a piece of white-skin.
Gregory was with her daily, almost hourly, and the six months which elapsed before Lyndall's return passed, as he felicitously phrased it, "like a summer night, when you are dreaming of some one you love."
