"I'm an old woman, and" with an appeal for contradiction that went straight to Madelene's heart "I'm afraid I'd be in the way?" "In the way!" cried Madelene. "Why, you're the only one that can teach me how to take care of him. He says you've always taken care of him, and I suppose he's too old now to learn how to look after himself." "You wouldn't mind coming here to live?" asked Ellen humbly.
For a few seconds Madelene leaned over the sleeping child, a rosy child with thick blonde curls. A keen sense of the emptiness of her own arms stirred in her an envy of the complacent young matron standing at the foot of the little white bed. Perhaps Fred would've been different if they'd had a little one. "I'd love to have a baby," she breathed discontentedly. "But "
Intuitively, she felt she'd find her husband with Tessibel Skinner. She walked the rest of the way down the hill, stopped before the hut and looked it over. All without lay dressed in its winter garb, and the small house, save for the smoke, appeared uninhabited. Then as a human sound from a tomb, came Frederick's voice. Madelene staggered back.
"The black one is Madelene," replied she, and her ability to speak in such an indifferent tone of such an important person surprised him. "The blonde is Walpurga. I used to detest Madelene. She always treated me as if I hadn't any sense." "Well, you can't blame her for that, Del," said Arthur. "You've been a great deal of a fool in your day before you blossomed out.
Madelene was in a state of tears nearly all the time; his brother-in-law, dictatorial, difficult even in his milder moods, seemed secretive and suspicious. As far as he was concerned, he kept from the house as much as possible, but this only provoked to a greater degree his young wife's tears and complaints.
Almost, so vivid the picture his passion painted, he held her in his arms. He'd do wonderful things for the boy. He should have the best education possible! Lost in his dreams, the time slipped rapidly away, and he found himself, all at once, in front of his brother-in-law's brilliantly lighted home. When he came into the great hall, Madelene hurried out of the library to meet him.
Already Ebenezer could see, in his mind's eye, how happy Madelene would be when he brought her the news. The big, dark-faced squatter was standing beside the red-headed girl, and Silander Griggs was hurriedly hunting through a book for the marriage ceremony. "Make it short," gritted Waldstricker to the minister. Tess stood as if she had died standing, her face devoid of blood even to the lips.
Apparently, she cared so little that she didn't feel it necessary to hide or explain her feelings. "And, now I want to see little Elsie," gushed Madelene. "I've been crazy to see her ever since she was born." "She's such a darling," smiled Helen, "and is the very joy of her father's heart.... Come on in the nursery."
When Scarborough gave Arthur his "chance," Madelene took it as the matter of course. "I'm sorry it has come so soon," said she, "and in just this way. But it couldn't have been delayed long. With so much to be done and so few able or willing to do it, the world can't wait long enough for a man really to ripen.
Schulze and Madelene and his own awakened mind had lifted him out of the silly current notion that mankind is never going to grow any more, but will wear its present suit of social clothes forever, will always creep and totter and lisp, will never learn to walk and to talk.
