Naught-seven brought Governor Bucks and the receiver and their party, and they're going down to Megilp, the mining camp on the other side of the State line. They've chartered the tally-ho for the day." Ormsby waited, and a little later was whisked away to the hotel in the tonneau of the guests' automobile. Afterward came a day which was rather hard to get through.
Megilp had written letters to her overflowing with a mixture of sentiment and congratulation, condolence and delight. They wanted her to come abroad at once, now, and join them. What was there, any longer, to prevent? Desire wrote back to them that she did not think they understood. There was no break, she said; there was to be no beginning again.
"A conclusion not quite as sanguinary as that you had in mind, though it is likely to prove serious enough for one member of the party in the private car. The special train was chased all the way across the State by the fast mail. It finally outran the pursuing section and was stopped at Megilp. A sheriff's posse was in waiting, and an arrest was made." "Go on," said the lieutenant-governor.
Through most of the miles Elinor had given herself up to silent enjoyment of the rapture of swift motion, and Ormsby had respected her mood, as he always did. But when they were on the high hills beyond the mining-camp of Megilp, and he had thrown the engines out of gear to brake the car gently down the long inclines, there was room for speech.
"If it was her daughter, she should not think she was half married." Mrs. Megilp put it more shrewdly than she had intended. Desire and Christopher Kirkbright were very sure they had not been "half married." It was not the world's half marriage that they had stood up there together for. Elise Mokey and Mary Pinfall came in one evening to see Bel Bree and Kate.
It was a gathering up and renewal of all that had been holy in the resolves of either while they had lived apart; a joining of two souls in the Lord. Hilary Vireo would not have dared to lead to perjury, by such words, a common man and woman. It was enough for such to ask if they would take, and keep to, each other. Mrs. Megilp thought it was "so jumbled!"
This has happened to you, but it is absolutely exceptional; it will never be pandemic," said Mrs. Megilp, who was fond of picking up little knowing terms of speech, and delivering herself of them at her earliest subsequent convenience. "'Never' is the only really imposing word in the language," said Asenath, innocently. "I don't believe either you or I quite understand it.
"How can people turn their backs on people so?" She broke off with that, in her old, odd, abrupt, blindly significant fashion. No: they could not understand. "Desire was just queerer than ever," they said. "It was such a pity, at her age. What would she be if she lived to be as old as Uncle Titus himself?" Mrs. Megilp sighed, long-sufferingly. Mrs.
But none of the people were there to whom any such little speeches had to be made; nobody who needed any accounting to for its oddity was present at Desire Ledwith's wedding. Mr. Vireo officiated; there was something in his method and manner which Mrs. Megilp decidedly objected to. It was "everyday," she thought. "It didn't give you a feeling of sanctity.
"So and so much for an inspection trip to Megilp and return. I must tell Kent about it. It will put another shovelful of coal into his furnace not that he is especially needing it." At the moment of this saying it was between ten and eleven o'clock at night David Kent's wrath-fire was far from needing an additional stoking.
