In the month thus spent, not once was Major Hennion able to get a word with Janice, for Lafayette followed closely upon the heels of the invaders until they were safe over the James, and there was constant skirmishing between the van and rear and two sharp encounters, which kept Tarleton's and Simcoe's cavalry, when they had rejoined, fully occupied in covering the retreat, while the Merediths and other loyalists who had joined the army travelled with the baggage in the advance.
The next day was a busy one for the Merediths, but at last everything was ready, and bag and baggage they boarded the train and were off on the journey. "I wonder what it's all going to be like, really?" Nora and Janey peered out on the passing scenes, as they sped along.
"George doesn't know any Merediths. Mark he is following Becky." "Well, she's safe in Boston." "She is going back. On Wednesday. And he'll be there." Her eyes were troubled. "Mark," she said, abruptly, "I wonder if Randy has left New York. Call him up, please, long distance. I want to talk to him." "My darling girl, do you know what time it is?" "Nearly midnight. But that's nothing in New York.
Drew is mean enough herself. They say that the only thing she was ever known to give away was a crock of butter made out of cream a rat had fell into. She contributed it to a church social. Nobody found out about the rat until afterwards." "Fortunately, all the people the Merediths have offended so far are Methodists," said Miss Cornelia.
Her great-grandparents were among the first settlers and the Merediths have never sold the old home." "She is a pretty little thing," George said. "And she's buried down here." "I shouldn't call it exactly buried." George, with his eyes on the peacock, smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Randy smiled and his eyes, too, were on the peacock.
Power, a few days afterwards, as they roamed about the grounds together, "that the Merediths should have written to me just the day before you came! My dear, I think it will be a delightful home for you.
Each carriage was driving slowly, and the road was not wide, and the wheels almost locked, and there was time enough for everything to be seen. And the next day, Marguerite went home from the Merediths' and passed into a second long illness. The day came for Isabel to leave she was going away to remain a long time, a year, two years.
"She will be unhappy until some day her heart rests in her husband, as mine does in you. Shall I spoil you, Mark, if I talk like this?" When they reached their hotel there were letters. One was from Flora: "You asked about George. He is not with us. He has gone to Nantucket to visit some friends of his the Merediths. He will be back next week." "The Merediths?" Madge said.
"Pray Heaven that some day we may catch him in a cul-de-sac from which there can be no retreat." Janice Meredith The reunion of the Merediths was so joyful a one that little thought was taken of the course of public events. Nor were they now in a position easily to learn of them.
"Get out anything they want. And Dick won't be in till half-past one, tell her. And Dollie" there was again that queer little catch in her voice "it is possible Miss Addiscombe may call this afternoon. I have told Louisa to show her right into the drawing-room without telling her I am out, and come and find you. I want you to be very nice to her, and explain about the Merediths.
