Charmond, with something like a start; for she had not recognized Grace at that distance. "And the man she is talking to?" "That's Mr. Winterborne." A redness stole into Marty's face as she mentioned Giles's name, which Mrs. Charmond did not fail to notice informed her of the state of the girl's heart. "Are you engaged to him?" she asked, softly. "No, ma'am," said Marty.
Janice was smitten with the thought that Marty's boys' club, the foundation society of the Public Library and Reading Room, would better be after these youngsters. "Why, Simeon Howell!" she exclaimed suddenly. "You ought not to be here. I don't believe your mother knows where you are." The other boys, who were ragamuffins, giggled at this, and one said to young Howell: "Aw, Sim!
For an hour the stream ran strong and steady, and when it would have stopped none could tell. But J.W. remembered he had promised to be back with Marty for dinner, and so, in the midst of a story about Marty's Saturday afternoon outings with the boys, highly reminiscent of their own old-time Saturdays in the Deep Creek timber, J.W. made his excuses and hurried away.
Melbury's, was the centre of Marty's consciousness, and it was in relation to this that the matter struck her as she slowly withdrew. "That, then, is the secret of it all," she said. "And Giles Winterborne is not for me, and the less I think of him the better." She returned to her cottage. The sovereigns were staring at her from the looking-glass as she had left them.
"Not more glad than I am to find myself here once more." "So you dined and slept at Father Marty's last night. What will the grand people say at the Castle?" "As I sha'n't hear what they say, it won't matter much! Life is not long enough, Mrs. O'Hara, for putting up with disagreeable people." "Was it pleasant last night?" "Very pleasant.
To be met first by the story of the trouble which had visited Sobrante and now by this dreadful discovery almost unnerved him; but he was a man of action and his hand flew to Marty's breast to feel if his heart still beat. With the other hand he softly brushed the dust from the rigid features and rubbed the colorless temples.
Nobody ever comes to our front door," said Marty. "And there's a nice wide porch there to sit on pleasant evenings, too," cried Janice. "Huh!" came Marty's famous snort of derision. "The roof leaks like a sieve and the floor boards is rotted. Las' time the parson came to call he broke through the floor an' come near sprainin' his ankle."
The father and mother exchanged a significant glance of amusement at their eldest-born's acuteness; but on Tommy's round face there was a cloud. "Mother," he said, half-crying, "Marty's got ever so much more money in his box nor I've got in mine." "Munny, me want half-a-toun in my bots," said Totty. "Hush, hush, hush," said Mrs. Poyser, "did ever anybody hear such naughty children?
It was, as yet, too much Marty's house for that and, after all, what harm was she doing by sitting up on such a lovely night? The only thing was it was Martin's very own room filled with his intimate things and with his father's message written largely on a card over the fireplace "We count it death to falter, not to die."
Marty's father, tenant-farmer on the Farwell farm, was steady enough and dependable, but never one to get ahead much. Before the Farwells moved to town he had rarely stayed on the same farm more than a year or two, but, as he said, "J.W. Farwell was different, and anybody who wanted to be decent could get along with him."
