She she had ter go or see Lawson kill himself; so she went but asked my pardon fo' causing the deep trouble. Lawson married her at the first stopping place over the ridge. He ain't worthy o' my lil' Nella-Rose but us-all has got to make the best o' it. Come spring she'll be back, and then I'll forgive her my lil' Nella-Rose!"
They found the sunny spot it was like a dimple in a hill that had caught the warmth and brightness and held them always to the exclusion of shadows. It almost seemed that night could never conquer the nook. And while they rested there, Nella-Rose told him of the belief of the natives that he was the refugee Lawson.
There was just one thing Lynda had to make clear in this vital moment, one truth that must be understood without trespassing on the sacred rights of others. Surely Nella-Rose should know all that there was to know before coming to her final decision.
"I? You think I laugh a good deal? Good Lord! Some folk think I don't laugh enough." He had his friends back home in mind, and somehow the memory steadied him for an instant. "P'r'aps they-all don't know you as well as I do." This with amusing conviction. "Perhaps they don't." Truedale was deadly solemn. "But go on, Nella-Rose. I promise not to laugh now." "It was the beginning of you!"
He meant to play a high game there to fling himself on White's mercy appeal to the liking he knew the sheriff had for him confess his love for Nella-Rose make his promise for future redemption and then go, scot-free, to claim the girl who had declared he might speak when once again he dared walk upright among his fellows. So Lawson planned and went bravely to the doing of it.
He never exacted more. His love was big enough divine enough to accept. Oh! Con, through all the years when I have tried to to do my part, the husband of Nella-Rose has helped me to do it! Nella-Rose never looked back to Ann and me. Having laid the child upon the altar, she trusted." "Yes, that would be her way." Truedale's voice broke a bit.
"Nella-Rose," he said calmly, "I shall be back in two or three weeks at the latest, but if at any moment you want me, send word here telegraph from the station you come first, always! You are wiser than I, my sweet; our honour and love are our own. Wait for me, my doney-gal and trust me." She was all joy again all sweetness. He kissed her, turned, then came back.
Then turning suddenly from the trail, Truedale saw Nella-Rose sitting on a rock waiting! She had on a rough, mannish-looking coat, and a coarse, red hood covered her bright head. Nella-Rose was garbed in winter attire. She had worn this outfit for five years and it looked it. Never again was Truedale to see a face of such radiant joy and trust as the girl turned upon him.
Was Jim White such a lily of purity that he presumed to take that attitude? Was the code of the hills that of the Romany gypsies? How dare any man judge and sentence another without trial? The effect of the narcotic still worked sluggishly, now that White's irritating presence was removed. Truedale shrugged his shoulders and turned to his packing. He was feverishly eager to get to Nella-Rose.
When Marg knew this fur certain, there was no length to which she didn't go! This is my home, sir; I'm old Marg is a good girl and the trouble is past now; her and Jed is making me comfortable, but we-all don't mention Nella-Rose. It eases me, though, to tell the truth for lil' Nella-Rose.
