"Then I am your granddaughter?" "In nature, not in law. My son did not marry your mother." Stella groped in the air with her hands. They were taken and pressed against Mary O'Gara's heart. Mary O'Gara's arms drew the stricken child close to her. "Go," she said to the pale, evil-looking woman, in whom she hardly recognized Mrs.
Standing there by the foot of the bed Lady O'Gara's heart went out in tenderness to the sick girl as though she was her own little daughter. What maze of terror had she passed through, whether in dreams or reality, that had brought that look to her face? While they watched Stella got up on her elbow and peered into the corners of the room with a terrible expression.
Still, Robin Gillespie, the doctor's son at Inver, could not have much to spare, but apparently he had given Eileen a good many trinkets. "When does Terry join his regiment?" Sir Shawn asked his wife one day with a certain sharpness. "Not till September." "And it is now August. A pity he should waste his time philandering." "Does he philander?" Lady O'Gara's voice had a hurt sound in it.
There was no indication in her manner of the woman who had stepped down from her place among honoured women. And yet, the mere saying that Terry was in the house had somehow affected Mrs. Wade. There was agitation under the calm exterior. In the atmosphere there was something disturbed, electrical. She hardly seemed to hear Lady O'Gara's answer to her inquiry about Sir Shawn.
But these things happened. A wryness came to Mary O'Gara's sweet mouth with the thought that if Terry married Stella his children would be born of a nameless mother. So the world was so strong in her! Scornfully in her own mind she defied the world.
I shall not be able to look at Eileen again without seeing that. Why does she want to make her dresses? Can't your maid do it? Industry in Eileen is quite a new thing. Not that she's half as good a companion on the bog as you are, darling. I've always had to carry her over the pools. She said she couldn't jump." Lady O'Gara's face at this frankness was a study. "She's so helpless.
She came to meet Lady O'Gara and held out her hands with a piteous gesture of grief. "She has gone away," she said. Her hands were chill in Mary O'Gara's warm clasp. The woman drew the girl to her, holding the cold hands against her breast with a soft motherliness. "Now, tell me what is the matter?" she said, while her voice shook in the effort to be composed. "Where has Mrs. Wade gone to?"
