He would have liked to get over this without speech. She drew him gently into the bedroom and up to the little cot. "You haven't looked at Boy Comfort," she said. He bent in embarrassment over the little boy who lay and gazed at him with large, serious eyes. "You must give me a little time," he said. "It's little Marie's boy," said Ellen, with a peculiar intonation.
This resolution of Marie's seemed to have helped her considerably, for her later letters are not quite so exclusively concerned with the unhappy aspect of her relations with Terry.
Bud lifted his lips away from Marie's and spoke over his shoulder, his arms tightening in their hold upon Marie's trembling, yielding body. "Shut up, Cash. She's my wife now where do you get off at?" "No, no, no!" cried Lovin Child from a safe distance. "Tell a worl' no, no!" "I'll tell the world yes, yes!" Bud retorted ecstatically, lifting his face again.
Marie's name had, from time to time, been a good deal involved in romantic histories, and he said to himself that his lie had been very well chosen, indeed, and might be expected to cause Richard Hartley much anguish of spirit.
He undoubtedly would be ready by the day named, and would go home and prepare everything for Marie's arrival. They were very little together as lovers during those two days, but it was necessary that there should be an especial parting. 'She is up-stairs in the little sitting-room, Aunt Josey said; and up- stairs to the little sitting-room Adrian Urmand went.
'That reminds me of my poor vintages. By a manifest providence the Hermitage was nearly at an end. One bottle I lose but one bottle of that incomparable wine. It had been set apart against Jean- Marie's wedding. Well, I must lay down some more; it will be an interest in life. I am, however, a man somewhat advanced in years.
She bent her head and listened attentively. "It is nothing; my ears often deceive me now," she mumbled as she laboriously seated herself on a maimed rocking-chair, which creaked dismally as she rocked herself to and fro. Its querulous protestations prevented her hearing the sound of a falling window which came from the direction of Marie's bedroom.
The others agreeing to enter into a quiet little plot to put the right girl in the freshman presidential chair, how they should go about it formed the main topic of conversation at Marie's dinner at the quaint Colonial that evening. All sorts of ways and means were suggested, only to be abandoned. It was impossible to proceed until they had come into more of a knowledge of the freshmen themselves.
"Only some women," he said; "I've a mind not to open the door." "But do," I said, feeling sure the women were Marie's friends bringing news of her. And it was so. She had been found dead on her balcony dressed in the gown that had just come home from the dressmaker. I hoped that Octave would not try to pass the matter off with some ribald jest, and I was surprised at his gravity.
"While I was waiting for you and preparing to speak to you, I received an intuition of it all!" he exclaimed. "I saw clearly that the man who was proclaiming Marie's innocence with nothing to guide him but his reason, I saw that this man alone could save her and that he would save her. Ah, I beseech you, save her and save her at once. Otherwise it will be too late.
