With a bullet, if you like; say that, and you will tell the truth. But with the truth you have nothing to do; too long ago you were taught that you must never face that. Do you deal as truthfully with yourself as I with my own heart? I wonder, I wonder." Miriam's eyes had fallen. She stood quite motionless, with a face of suffering. "You want me to confess my sins?"
And oh, Rufus! is it really so?" she cried, catching, sight of Miriam's stooped, ragged figure. Then she darted past me. Both her arms encircled Miriam, and the two began weeping on each other's shoulders after the fashion of women. I heard a cough inside Hamilton's tent. Going forward, I lifted the canvas flap and found Eric sitting gloomily on a pile of robes.
Grace had told Anne the next day the details of the meeting, and in some measure prepared her for what would undoubtedly follow. Anne had laughed a little at the account of Miriam's remarks regarding her father, and the girls' evident disapproval of the theatrical profession.
So my treasure-bag tied around my waist as a bustle, a sack with a few necessary articles hanging on my arm, some few quite unnecessary ones, too, as I had not the heart to leave the old and new prayer books father had given me, and Miriam's, too; pistol and carving-knife ready, I stood awaiting the exodus.
Miriam's besotted love, Joanna's suspicions and her accursed watch upon me, both hinder my plans. If the twain were in league together, it could not be worse. Miriam implores me with tears and lamentations to wait till she be laid in the tomb for the fulfilment of my cherished dream. And if I thwart her too far, there is no telling what she may not say or do.
Miriam's influence won't last. Grace did perfectly right in standing by Anne, and you and I must always stand by Grace. Grace is a fine captain, and " "What are you saying about me?" demanded Grace herself, walking into the locker-room with Anne. Jessica blushed and was silent, but Nora said glibly, "Oh, Jessica just now said that you made a fine captain."
On Thanksgiving morning they were to breakfast at the Tourraine as the guests of Ruth and Arline. Thanksgiving dinner at Martell's was to be Anne's and Miriam's part of the celebration, while Thanksgiving night Emma and Grace were to be hostesses at Vinton's, their favorite rendezvous.
Skale would hear Spinrobin's thin accents: "You brilliant little sound! I hear you everywhere within me, chanting a song of life!" And Miriam's reply, thrilled and gentle: "I'm but your perfect echo! My whole life sings with yours!" Whereupon, kissing softly, they would separate, and Mr. Skale would cover them mentally with his blessing.
Miriam shook her head absently, unable to find voice for the topic, which was remote from her thoughts. "He's done fine things, great things. I shall look him up, and we'll drink a bottle of wine together." He kept stroking Miriam's hand, a white hand with blue veins a strong hand, though so delicately fashioned. The touch of the wedding-ring again gave a new direction to his discursive thoughts.
What day is 'that day'? The answer carries us back a couple of chapters, to the great picture drawn by the prophet of a world-wide judgment, which is followed by a burst of song from the ransomed people of Jehovah, like Miriam's chant by the shores of the Red Sea. The 'city of confusion, the centre of the power hostile to God and man, falls; and its fall is welcomed by a chorus of praises.
