Campion at the hall-door, the flush was gone, her lips were tightly compressed, and her parting words were not audible. Campion wound a mother-like arm around her waist and kissed her. Cecilia shivered and turned her face to her friend smiling; but such a smile, one of those smiles that seem brimful of tears.
We had drawn in rather close and could see that the calf was falling behind. The mother noticed it as well. She feared the thing that had stung her; but, mother-like, she clung to her little one. She swerved around and the line fell slack. "Look out, now, sir!" cried Tom Anderly again. "She's mad, and she's scared, and she's looking for us.
"What is it now?" asked her mother quietly, for she saw from Allie's face that something was troubling her, and, mother-like, she wished to help her little daughter. "Why, it isn't so much; only something that Grant was telling, something Mrs. Pennypoker said," answered Allie, while she threaded her needle and stuck it in beside the hole.
