Carshaw drew his chair closer to his mother and placed an arm around her shoulder. "Yes," he said. "Rex," she murmured brokenly, hiding her face, "do you forgive me?" "Mother, I ask you to forgive me if I said harsh things." There was silence for a while. Then she raised her eyes. They were wet, but smiling. "This Mrs. Marchbanks," she went on bravely, "had your Winifred's face.
Lewis Marchbanks did say, one day, that she thought "the Holabirds were slightly mistaking their position"; but the remark did not come round, westover, till long afterward, and meanwhile the position remained the same. It was right in the midst of all this that Ruth astonished the family again, one evening.
But he's nice, ever so nice." "It's a case of Outledge, Leslie," Dakie Thayne said, going down the hill. "They treat those girls amphibiously!" "Well," returned Leslie, laughing, "I'm amphibious. I live in the town, and I can come out and not die on the Hill. I like it. I always thought that kind of animal had the nicest time." They met Alice Marchbanks with her cousin Maud, coming up.
"However, with God's blessing, I shall circumvent the latter." "When do you start?" asked Lawrence, with an air of assumed indifference. "To-morrow or next day, perhaps, but I cannot tell until I meet Colonel Marchbanks.
Our poor hero looked, and his hearts nearly stood still with horror, for he saw a horseman pass whose figure was strangely like to that of Colonel Marchbanks. His arms were bound, and a villainous-looking man led his horse. Immediately after another bandit-like fellow rode past with a female form seated in front of him.
It comes a trifle late in the day when Miss Winifred Marchbanks is in the hands of her friends and Voles on his way to prison. I don't even want you, Rachel Bartlett, unless the State attorney decides that you ought to be prosecuted." The woman's eyes gleamed like those of a spiteful cat.
"Come ye or bide ye, I go on," answered the stern old soldier. "I can carry the bags mysel'." "Then that settles the maitter. If ye gang, I gang." So the horses were turned adrift to find their own way home, and the two men went off into the mirk, carrying the bags; whilst Marchbanks, on their urgent advice, turned to force his arduous way back to Moffat.
"But it seems to set us down; it seems common in us to be so ready to be familiar with common people. More in us, because we do live plainly. If Mrs. Hadden or Mrs. Marchbanks did it, it might seem kind without the common. I think they ought to begin such things." "But then if they don't?
"The Bureau!" he cried. "Yes. The officials there are interested in the affairs of Winifred Marchbanks." He went ashen-gray, but essayed, nevertheless, to turn emotion into mere amazement. He was far too clever a man to pretend a blank negation. The situation was too strenuous for any species of ostrich device. "I seem to remember that name," he said slowly, moistening his lips with his tongue.
It is not our purpose to drag the patient reader a second time over the rolling Pampas, or to introduce him to the mysteries of silver-mining in the Andes. Our end shall be sufficiently explained by stating the fact that as Lawrence was faithful to his promise to Colonel Marchbanks, he was not less faithful to his promise to the daughter.
