Wasn't there even now in his bedroom in New York a water-colour of Market Saffron church, where the dear old lady had been confirmed?
Across the river Tom was swearing horribly; and between husband and wife rose a filmy cloud of spray upon which were imprinted the mysterious colours of the rainbow, which, long ago, Mamie had been taught to regard as the most wonderful symbol in the world God's promise that in the end good should triumph over evil. Afraid to move, fascinated, she stood still, staring at the rainbow.
"Nor the pink and blue ribbon to tie our shell-baskets," called Mamie, nearly tumbling into the aquarium at the other end. Mrs. Minot laughed, and promised, and rumbled away, leaving Jill to an experience which she never forgot.
