I knew that boy was sure to be found. Anything of Moya's would be." "So you think it was Moya's 'temperament' that pulled him out of the snow?" said the colonel, wheeling his chair into the discussion. "How about Mr. Winslow's temperament? I prefer to leave a little of the credit to him," said Moya sweetly.
They gathered around the table on which Roger had placed the stained bag, the gold coins gleaming through a gash in its side. Moya cleaned the outside as well as she could with a damp cloth. "See, here are some crumbs of sealing-wax still clinging to the cord," and Grandfather Emerson cut the string that still tied the mouth.
The words carried their unintentional sting. But it was Moya's six lines at the bottom of his page that changed and softened everything. Moya always blessed when she took the initiative contrived, as swiftly as she could set them down, to say the very words that made the home-coming a coming home indeed. "Will Madam Bogardus be pleased to keep her place as the head of her son's house?" she wrote.
You heard of his going to Lemhi?" "She doesn't know," whispered Moya. "True. Well, two weeks ago I gave Mr. Winslow a hunter's leave, as we call it in the army, to beat up the trail of those boys. I thought it was time we heard from them, but it wasn't worth while to raise a hue and cry. He started out with a few picked men from Lemhi, the Indian Reservation, you know.
"I think she has known it some time," said Moya, "and kept it to herself." "Mrs. Bowen!" "Your mother. Isn't it terrible? Think how Chrissy must have needed her. They need each other so! Christine was her constant thought. How can all that change in one year! But she cannot go to Banks Bowen's house without an invitation. We must go to New York and make her come with us we must open the way."
"Perhaps Kate has told you that we are planning to have some women and children who need country air come out from New York this summer and live in a farmhouse that we have on the place here." Moya nodded. "She did." "We need a cook. We are going to give them simple food, but nourishing and well cooked."
"For the last time, Phil," she called, "are you coming or are you not?" "Not with those swindlers, I'm not!" he shouted. "I think you two are mad! I prefer to drown!" There was an uncomfortable silence. My position was a difficult one, and, not knowing what to say, I said nothing. "If one must drown!" exclaimed Lady Moya briskly, "I can't see it matters who one drowns with."
Post-nuptial bills for wedding finery are going to hurt poor little Moya like the deuce. Confound the woman! Dressing my daughter for me, right in my own house. Takes it in her hands as if it were her right, by !" The colonel let slip another expletive. "Well," he sighed, half amused at his own violence, "I'll write to Annie. I promised Moya, and it's high time I did."
Creve, very sleepy and cosy and flushed, leaned over the smouldering bed of coals. She held out her plump, soft hand to Moya. "Come here and be scolded! We have been scolding you steadily for the last hour." "If you want that young man to get his strength back, you'd better not keep him up talking half the night," the colonel growled softly. "Do you see what time it is?"
The night was filled with fog-horns, whistles, bells, and the throb of engines, but we never were near enough to hail the vessels from which the sounds came, and when we rowed toward them they invariably sank into silence. After two hours Stumps and Kinney insisted on taking a turn at the oars, and Lady Moya moved to the bow.
