"Sounds just like a brother!" laughed Joy, looking up at the pleasant-faced boy beside her. Bob and Phil were introduced to Kit and were quite startled at the vision of the Colonial maid. "Having a masquerade?" asked Phil. "Nothing like that," answered Bet. "Lady Betty Merriweather decided to come out of her frame, and here she is."
That night the delegates realized what a blunder they had made or thought they realized it after Merriweather and his staff had circulated among them. Few of them had been trusted by Beckett with the secret that, with that platform and with Simpson as the nominee, their party would have the interests behind it, would almost certainly win.
"Queer we don't get word of some sort, isn't it?" said he to Merriweather the next morning, as the latter was leaving for the convention. Merriweather made no reply beyond a smile so faint that Culver barely saw it. "She was right, after all," thought Culver, less despondent. "I'll get the money just before I leave and take it back. And I'll not open this subject with Dumont.
"The singing is in the heart of the Merriweather Girls who have saved the Manor from being sold and have also saved the reputation of their good friend," suggested Colonel Baxter. "It's good to be alive!" cried Phil. Then the Colonel hesitated a moment. "You know I am going to reward the Merriweather girls for finding the queen's fan." "Hooray!" shouted Bet. "What's the reward?"
"I couldn't leave him in the road. I had to get him, didn't I?" Theodore King made a movement of surprise. "Did you notice it in the road?" he asked Miss Merriweather. The woman was thoroughly angry, so angry she could not guard her tongue. "Of course I saw him," she replied haughtily, "but I wouldn't stop for an old cat; I can tell you that much."
The last duel was fought by the old fountain out there one of the Merriweathers met one of the Paines. Merriweather was killed, and the girl died of a broken heart." "Then it was Merriweather that she loved?" "Yes. And young Paine went abroad, and joined the British army and was killed in India. So nobody was happy, and all because there was, probably, a flowing bowl at the harvest ball.
Shirley's Shop was a success and still is, for mother is keeping it going, and she said in her last letter that she was not doing badly at all." "Shirley's Shop was a success and the Merriweather Mining Company will be, too," Bet declared. "It must be a success." "It will be!" determined Enid. Only Joy did not share their optimism. "I think the storm was a bad omen, don't you, Kit? It's hoodooed!"
Tired and hungry, I thought. After half an hour of pumping I sent him away, detaining Woodruff. "What does he really think about Rundle?" I asked. "Says he hasn't the ghost of a chance that Scarborough'll control the Indiana delegation and that Scarborough has no more use for lunatics than for grafters." This was not encouraging. I called Merriweather back.
"If I am ever anything more than I am," he said, and now he was not laughing, "it will be because of you my dearest darling." The Merriweather fortunes had not been affected by the fall of the Confederacy.
The soft, tinkling ripple of a fountain in that interior court added to a feeling of unreality. It was a stage set for a play. Palm trees and many flowering plants grew in profusion and The Merriweather Girls, unused to the luxuriant verdure of the south, stood looking about them in surprise.
