The fear may have come to Malvina that she was doomed never to be rid of Commander Raffleton's coat. "I wonder," mused the Professor, "if anyone in the village " The little serving maid flittering among the gooseberry bushes she was pretending to be gathering goose-berries caught the Professor's eye. "We will consult my chatelaine, Mrs. Muldoon," suggested the Professor.
Mechanically he started it up. The familiar whir of the engine brought back to him the possibility of his being alive in the ordinary acceptation of the term. It also suggested to him the practical advisability of insisting that Malvina should put on his spare coat.
Cara's thin voice called out: "The Turks do well to be silent, for what good is there in people's talk? What good is there?" "Here is a little sage, she is never satisfied with questions," said Darvid, jestingly. "Capacity for criticism is a family trait of ours," laughed Irene. "Cara had been distinguished by curiosity from childhood," added Malvina, with a smile.
"We should never change what the good God has once fashioned," said Malvina. She spoke very gravely. The childishness seemed to have fallen from her. "You didn't always think so," said the Professor. It nettled the Professor that all idea of this being a good joke had departed with the sound of Malvina's voice. She had that way with her. She made a little gesture.
Malvina appears to have been interested in watching what she probably regarded as some novel breed of dragon being nourished from tins extricated from under her feet, but to have accepted this, together with all other details of the flight, as in the natural scheme of things. The monster refreshed, tugged, spurned the ground, and rose again with a roar; and the creeping sea rushed down.
"And mind," whispered the Professor as he opened the door for Mrs. Muldoon to slip out, "not a word. She doesn't want it known." One is convinced that Mrs. Muldoon left the bathroom resolved that, so far as she could help it, no breath of suspicion that Malvina was other than what in Drusilla's holiday frock she would appear to be should escape into the village.
The next year Malvina was no longer there. Madame Lavigne, folding knotted hands, had muttered her last paternoster. Pere Jean had urged the convent. But for the first time, with him, she had been frankly obstinate. Some fancy seemed to have got into the child's head.
Malvina Levesque got into trouble last year with Mathurin Poilu. Leg of mutton...................twenty-five sous Salt............................one sou Rosalie Vatinel was seen in the Riboudet woods with Cesaire Pienoir, by Mme. Onesime, the ironer, on July the 20th about dusk.
I notice this long time that you eat almost nothing, and that you dress richly only because you must do so. At times, were it possible, you would put on haircloth instead of rich silks, would you not? Have I guessed rightly?" While a faint blush covered her forehead and cheeks again, Malvina answered: "Rightly."
