Nella-Rose braced herself against the table and quietly and definitely outlined their future relations. "No, you cannot come to see us-all. You don't know Marg. If she doesn't find things out, there won't be trouble; when she does find things out there's goin' t' be a right smart lot of trouble brewing!"
The picture she portrayed of setting jealousy, malice, and stupidity upon the wrong trail was very funny, but suddenly he paused and said seriously: "But in the meantime this Burke Lawson may return; you may be the death of him with your pranks." Nella-Rose shook her head. "I would know!" she declared confidently. "I know everything that's going on in the hills. Burke would let me know first!"
He'd been a right long way off he'd broken his leg; he came as soon as he could, and Marg told him and and laid lil' Ann to him!" "And you never spoke? You never told?" Lynda had drawn very close her words were barely above a whisper. "No. It was this-er-way. First, love for him held my tongue mighty still; then hate; and afterwards I couldn't!" "But now, Nella-Rose, now why have you spoken now?"
Unknowingly he was being tempted by the devil in him, and he fell; he had only himself to look to for salvation from his mistaken impulses, and his best self, unprepared, was drugged by the overpowering appeal that Nella-Rose made to his senses.
He put his hand out, for the definite way in which Nella-Rose turned was ominous. Already she seemed to belong to the cabin room to Truedale himself. Not a suggestion of strangeness clung to her. It was as if she had always been there but that his eyes had been holden. "I must go!" "Wait oh! Nella-Rose. Let me walk part of the way with you. I I have a thousand things to say."
"I'd rather have a pink frock, father, and a real hat; I just naturally hate sunbonnets! I'd favour a feather on my hat flowers fade right easy." "But harps is mighty elegant, Nella-Rose. Time was when your aunts and and grandmothers took to harps like they was their daily nourishment. Don't you ever forget that, Nella-Rose.
Truedale saw the necessity of caution, not for himself, but for Nella-Rose. He could not go, unaided, to search for her. Evidently there had been wild doings after he left; no one but White and Nella-Rose knew of his actual existence he must utilize White in assisting him, but above all he must expect that Nella-Rose would make her whereabouts known.
Then she watched the slim, straight figure depart still puzzled but at peace for the day, at least. Nella-Rose, however, was plotting an attack upon Truedale quite out of the common. By unspoken consent he and she had agreed that their meetings should be in the open. Jim White might return at anytime and neither of them wanted at first to include him in the bewildering drama of their lives.
Gawd knows I do my duty as I see it. But being keen about duty, I see more than one duty. When you catch and cage Lawson, Jed, I want to be something closer to you than a friend." "Closer than " Jed gasped. "And duty drives me to confess to you, Jed, that the happiness of a lady is at stake." Jed merely gaped now. Visions of Nella-Rose made him giddy and speechless.
Course Marg knew it, but the two most consarned didn't meaning Jed and Burke. Least they suspected but warn't sure. Jed meant to get Burke out o' the way so he could have a clear space to co't Nella-Rose, so he aimed to shoot one o' Burke's feet just enough to lay him up Jed is the slow, calculatin' kind and an almighty sure shot.
