Myra could hardly speak. "You." A hand caught hers. "Try. He's simply giving his life to the cause." There was a silence a little while. The tears were wet upon Myra's cheeks. "Mrs. Blaine." "Yes, dear." "Tell me about yourself what you've been doing both of you." And as Mrs. Blaine told her, time and time again Myra laughed softly, or was glad the darkness concealed those unbidden tears.
Sibyl's mother, even a month before she died told me that Myra's history, before she came to them, was as unknown to her as it was the day she stopped at their door." "I can't get over the feeling that I ought to know her that I have seen her somewhere, years ago," said the novelist, by way of explaining his interest. "Then it was before she got those scars," returned the Ranger.
She groped her way back, peering at the ground, until at close range she saw the broad blue and white stripes of Myra's dress. "I wonder if I shall continue to see more and more?" she sighed at last, "or if I shall go on peering and groping in this uncertain, fantastic way. I wish I knew." "I know one thing," Myra put in quickly.
But before she could carry out any rash project, Aunt Myra's palpitations set in so alarmingly that they did good service for once and kept Rose busy taking her last directions and trying to soothe her dying bed, for each attack was declared fatal till the patient demanded toast and tea, when hope was again allowable and the rally began.
He still looked into those happy, loving eyes, but the joy in his own died out, leaving them merely cold blue steel. His face slowly whitened, hardened, froze into lines of silent misery. Then he moved back a step, and Myra's hands fell from him. "You 'Lady Ingleby'?" he said. Myra gazed at him, in unspeakable dismay. "Jim!" she cried, "Jim, dearest! Why should you mind it so much?"
Hollister soaped and scrubbed to clean his hands and face of the sweat and dirt of his day's labor. Above the wash bench Myra's face, delicately pink and white and framed by her hair that was the color of strained honey, looked down at him through an open window.
It was just an accident on what day of the year you were born, and it was no use to make a fuss about it, she said. There were plenty of people in the world before you came, and there would have been plenty if you had never come at all. Such was Aunt Myra's dictum. With these views, it may be supposed that Candace's idea of an anniversary was not a very lively one.
Won't there be a big splash though when the Maises and Greys all tumble in. Those circus children of Myra Maise are the best things that ever strayed into the parish." After Periwinkle's recovery the children's visits to Mr. Grey's home became quite frequent. Miss Maise wisely concluded that if the Greys wanted to idolize Myra's children she might as well not interfere.
You damned, murdering fool!" Lawanne turned on Bland. "You did this?" Bland did not answer. He put his hand to his face and wiped away the sweat that had gathered in a shiny film on his skin, from which all the ruddiness had fled. Myra's pale, dead face seemed to hold him in some horrible fascination. Hollister shook him. "Why did you do that?" he demanded. Bland heaved a shuddering sigh.
Not that I puts any of them comments on the record, or works 'em in as repartee. Nothing like that. I may look foolish, but there are times when I know enough not to rock the boat. Besides, this was Myra's turn at the bat; and, believe me, she's no bush-leaguer. "H-m-m-m!" says she, givin' me the up-and-down inventory. "No wonder you're called Torchy. One seldom sees hair quite so vivid."
