She grew afraid and and hid, and it seemed like the soul of me would die; for, don't you see, Burke thinks that Marg's man is is the father, and Marg and Jed lays the trouble to Burke and they think her his! And and it has grown more since the big road brought us-all closer. The big road brought trouble as well as good.
"Marg, you're getting so refined, I almost regret having pulled you out of the lake that time." "You! Why Kent Marshall, I pulled her out myself!" exclaimed Lydia. "And I saved both of you and got licked for it," said Kent. "I hope you all had a pleasant summer," observed Margery, twisting up the curls in front of her small ears. "Mother and I were in New York."
The person, whoever it was, seemed determined to remain hidden but for that very reason it called out all the girl's cunning and cleverness. It might be Burke Lawson! With this thought Nella-Rose gasped a little. Then, it might be Marg; and here the dark eyes grew hard the lips almost cruel! She got down upon her knees and crawled like a veritable little animal of the wilds.
"He ain't been thar all winter. I hid Nella-Rose and her shame but I dare not any longer. I reckon she's going off." "Dying?" "May be; or " and here Lois Ann tapped her head. "And he he went and left her?" groaned Marg "the devil!" Lois Ann watched the terrible anger rising in the younger woman and of a sudden she realized how useless it would be to voice the wild tale Nella-Rose held to.
"You are " she began, but Lois Ann was between her and Nella-Rose. "Go!" she commanded with terrible scorn. "Go! You are not fit to touch them. Go! Dying or mad the girl belongs to me and not to such as has viper blood in their veins. Go!" And Marg went with the sound of Nella-Rose's crooning to her child ringing in her ears. Things happened dramatically after that in the deep woods.
If you don't let him alone let him and me alone I'll turn Jed on him, I will; I swear it!" "What is he to you!" Nella-Rose confronted her sister squarely. Blue eyes bold, cold blue they were looked into dark ones even now so soft and winning that it was difficult to resist them. "If you let him alone, he'll be everything to me!" Marg blurted out.
Tell me and as sure as God lives I'll bring him back! I'll make him own you and and the baby or he'll he'll " And then Nella-Rose laughed the laugh that drove Lois Ann to distraction. "Send Marg away, Miss Lois Ann," Nella-Rose turned to her only friend, "she makes me so so tired and I do not want any one but you." Marg got upon her feet, all the tenderness and compassion gone.
Well, I kept the sassy little hen there wasn't anything else ter do but one day Marg, she followed Nella-Rose up and when she saw what was going on, she stamped in and cried out: 'So! yo' can have playthings while us-all go starved! Yo' can steal what's our'n, an' with that she took the bantam and fo' I could say a cuss, she wrung that chicken's neck right fo' Nella-Rose's eyes!"
And I tell you now, Marg every one as has wronged that lil' girl will answer to me. Whar is she?" "She she and her young-un are up to Lois Ann's. They've been hid all winter. No one but me knows; you've time to make good before before father and Jed get yo'." Lawson took this like a blow between the eyes.
Marg slouched in; there was no other word to describe her indifferent and contemptuous air. "He's coming around?" she asked, nodding at her father. "Yes he's come," Nella-Rose admitted. "All right, then, I'm going to tell him something!" She walked over to her father and stood before him, looking him steadily in the eyes.
