After it, the whole family played at 'dumb crambo. Dolores was invited to join, and instructed to 'do the thing you think it is; but she was entirely unused to social games, and thought it only ridiculous and stupid when the word being a rhyme to ite, Fergus gave rather too real a blow to Wilfred, and Gillian answered, ''Tis not smite; Wilfred held out a hand, and was told, ''Tis not right; Val flourished in the air as if holding a string, and was informed that 'kite' was wrong; when Hal ran away as if pursued by Fergus by way of flight; and Mysie performed antics which she was finally obliged to explain were those of a sprite.
Geraldine had never been as much attracted by Dolores as by Gillian and Mysie, but she was greatly touched by hearing that the meeting and opening of affection had been on the discovery that Gerald was probably nameless and landless, and that the maiden was bent on casting in her lot with him whatever his fate might be. He murmured to himself the old lines, with a slight alteration
So Gillian was called to her mother's room to be told first of the arrangement, which certainly in some aspects was rather hard on her. 'I could not help it, my dear, said Lady Merrifield, 'without absolutely asking for an invitation for you. 'No, mamma; and it is Mysie who is Fly's friend, being the same age and all. It is quite right, and I understand it.
'It is a thing never to forget, she said under her breath, as they lingered in the nave. 'I never guessed anything could make one feel so, added Mysie, with a little sigh of rapture. 'That strange unexpected sense of delight always seems to me to explain, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive," said Harry. Mysie whispered
And Mysie drank, and with a sigh of happy contentment, she turned her face to the wall, glad she was now at home home with her wounded spirit and broken life. The soft easy chaff bed gave her more of rest and satisfaction than if it had been eiderdown. She traced as of old the roses upon the cheap paper with which the box bed was papered, and which had been her mother's pride when it was put on.
However, in about a quarter of an hour there was a ring at the door, and in another moment Mysie and Gillian were hugging one smother, Valetta hanging round Mysie's neck, Fergus pulling down her arm.
Then the effort failing, and his pride breaking down: "Oh, Mysie, Mysie," he burst out in poignant agony again relapsing into the pleading wooing tones that were so difficult to withstand, "How I hae loved you! I thocht you cared for me. I hae built mysel' up in you, an' I'll never, never be able to forget you! Oh, think what it is!
Yet he was late when it came the hour, and Mysie was there first and had already met Robert before he reached the grove. When Robert had gone away, and she sat crying upon the moor, she felt indeed as if the whole world was slipping from her and that her life was finished. Only ruin, black, unutterable, stared her in the face. Oh, if only Robert had spoken sooner, she thought.
She won't stay all the afternoon, said Gillian, cheerfully. 'Luncheon people don't. 'Yes, but then there will be lessons to be learnt. 'Look here, Val, said Gillian, 'if you and Mysie will learn your lessons for tomorrow while I'm bound to Miss Con., I'll do mine some time in the evening, and be free for the jam when she is gone.
'So it has been with some of mine, while, on the other hand, Dolores seemed to Mysie an interesting story-book heroine which indeed she is, rather too much so. But you have not stood still with Clare. 'No, I hope I have grown rather more sensible. David set me to do stories for his lads, and, as he is dreadfully critical, it was very improving. 'Did you write 'Kate's Jewel'? That is delightful.
