He would bare given the whole world if he could have taken her into his arms and have kissed back the color into her sad young face. "Norman," said a low voice, full of bitterest pain, "I am come to say good-by. I am sorry I have done harm not good. I am sorry forgive me, and say good-by." "It has made our lot a thousand times harder, Madaline," he returned, hoarsely.
Involuntarily he kissed it as he lifted it from the ground; it was too cruel for anything belonging to that fair young bride to have been brought into contact with death. Lady Peters noted the little incident with a shudder, Madaline merely smiled. Then the ceremony was over Lord Arleigh and Madaline were man and wife. It seemed to him that the whole world around him was transformed.
I can't wait to see the letter, Cleo. Did you get Hal Crane? And will he surely take it for us?" It was Grace who, dragging Cleo and attempting to lasso Madaline with her book strap, besought her friends to hide away from their companions that they might read the wonderful letter, and then dispatch it to its post box under the stone in the River Bend Woods. "I'm so excited," Grace confessed.
To others these are simply ancient gray walls; to me they represent the honor, the stainless repute, the unshadowed dignity of my race. People may sneer if they will, but to me there seems nothing so sacred as love of race jealousy of a stainless name." "I can understand and sympathize with you," she said, "although the feeling is strange to me." "Not quite strange, Madaline.
Your revenge was well chosen. You knew that, however I might worship Madaline, my wife, however much I might love her, she could never be mistress of Beechgrove, she could never be the mother of my children; you knew that, and therefore I say your revenge was admirably chosen.
"Oh, what a lovely showing! Just look back!" exclaimed Madaline, "and how finely the boy scouts drum and fife. Will they eat all our picnic stuff, do you suppose?" "Surely Hal Crane is entitled to some," replied Grace, "and there's Benny. He helped me before we got Hal. I shall have to share with him, of course." "We're starting!" cautioned Cleo. "Look out for your feet.
You must listen to what this gentleman says and, my dear, do not let it upset you." Mrs. Dornham retired, closing the door carefully behind her, and Lady Arleigh and the earl stood looking at each Other. "You call we Madaline," she said, "and you send my mother from me. What can you have to say?" A sudden thought occurred to her. "Has Lord Arleigh sent you to me?" she asked.
Miss L'Estrange married the Duke of Hazlewood, and, when my mother was in great difficulties, she went to the duchess to ask for employment. The duchess was always kind," continued Madaline, "and she grew interested in my mother. She came to see her, and I was at home. She told me afterward that when she first saw me she conceived a liking for me. I know now that I was but the victim of her plot."
What, and all the rest of it?" and she fired the questions in a well-aimed volley at her friend. "Just we four and the Captain, of course," resumed Madaline, seating herself on a mossy log beside Grace, who had selected this seat in the woods as a silent seclusion, there to evolve a scheme for imparting primary knowledge of Girl Scout work, to a group of younger members who had lately joined.
But the temptation was evidently too much for the frolicsome Grace, for as Madaline cast a wild eye over her shoulder in her flight from the spot, she could just see Grace, tip-toeing up to that figure. A few seconds later came a stifled cry!
