Yet, as Cassy Mavor looked out upon the exquisite beauty of the scene, upon the splendid outspanning of the sun along the hills, the deep plangent blue of the sky and the thrilling light, she saw a world in agony and she heard the moans of the afflicted.
That's why I didn't order Mick back when I saw him going out with the team." "Cassy Mavor," interjected a third voice from a corner behind the great stove "Cassy Mavor, of the variety-dance-and-song, and a talk with the gallery between!"
Yet with all our free, frank talk, there was all the while that in her gentle courtesy which kept me from venturing into any chamber of her life whose door she did not set freely open to me. So I vexed myself about her, and when Mr. Craig returned the next week from the Landing where he had been for some days, my first question was 'Who is Mrs. Mavor?
In fact the Treasury witnesses against Wilde were all blackmailers and people of the lowest character, with two exceptions. The exceptions were a boy named Mavor and a youth named Shelley. With regard to Mavor the judge admitted that no evidence had been offered that he could place before the jury; but in his summing up he was greatly affected by the evidence of Shelley.
'She'll get him if any one can. I failed, said Craig. I stood looking at the men, and a fine lot of fellows they were. Free, easy, bold in their bearing, they gave no sign of rudeness; and, from their frequent glances toward Mrs. Mavor, I could see they were always conscious of her presence. No men are so truly gentle as are the Westerners in the presence of a good woman.
Mavor was bad form. She was not to be annoyed. But when I suggested that she should leave quietly, and avoid the pain of saying good-bye, she flatly refused 'I must say good-bye to every man. They love me and I love them.
Craig had died away, and after all the hats had come down, Baptiste, who had never taken his eyes from that radiant face, should suddenly have swept the crowd into a perfect storm of cheers by excitedly seizing his tuque, and calling out in his shrill voice 'By gar! Tree cheer for Mrs. Mavor.
But, looking at the face before her, and the child on the bed, she was convinced that the woman was a good woman; that, singer and dancer as she was, there was no reason why any home should be closed to her, or any heart should shut its doors before her. She guessed a reason for this poverty of Cassy Mavor, but it only made her lay a hand on the little woman's shoulders and look into her eyes.
She had given me the words to say, and I was thoroughly prepared, else I should not have got through. I began in the usual way: 'Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Mavor is but I got no further, for at the mention of her name the men stood on the chairs and yelled until they could yell no more. There were over two hundred and fifty of them, and the effect was overpowering.
"He was the apple of your eye. He had a soft tongue, and most people liked him; but George was foolish I've known it all these years. George was pretty foolish. He gambled, he bet at races, he speculated wild. You didn't know it. He took ten thousand dollars of your money, got from the Wonegosh farm he sold for you. He " Cassy Mavor started forwards with a cry, but Black Andy waved her down.
