It was the spontaneous act of womanly sympathy and unconscious charity. What Ollie Chase had said to them as they stood before her, Judge Maxwell did not know, but what was written in their young faces as they turned from watching her go, the whole world might have read if it had been as watchful and wise as he.
Elinor's move. Trust Elinor. And the trust was justified for she answered as he wanted her to, and at once. "Why Ollie, as if it was anything when we've all of us more or less grown up together, haven't we and you and Peter " She stopped oh what was the use of being tactful!
She would look him over and sound him when he worked, choring between kitchen and barn. Ollie had been a poor man's child. Isom had chosen her as he would have selected a breeding-cow, because nature, in addition to giving her a form of singular grace and beauty, had combined therein the utilitarian indications of ability to plentifully reproduce her kind.
The whole business." "But good heavens, man, you aren't going to make it the start of the conversation?" "Well maybe not. But it's all got to be explained. Only way I'll ever feel decent and I don't suppose I'll feel too decent then." "But Ted oh it's your game, of course. Only I don't think it's being fair to either of you to tell her just now." "Can't help it, Ollie."
There was a slight trace of impatience in Oliver's tone. "Well, perhaps it doesn't but you don't want to be like him. I wouldn't like to see you, Ollie, going about with a picture under your arm that everybody knew you had painted yourself. And suppose that they would want to buy your pictures? How would you feel now to be taking other people's money for things you had painted?"
As a flash of lightning on a black night reveals well known landmarks and familiar objects, this incident brought back to Sammy the evening when, with Ollie and Young Matt, she had climbed the same way; when her horse had stumbled and her face had come close to the face of the big fellow whose hand was on the pony's neck.
"And you have testified, here on this witness-stand, before this court and this jury" that being another small lawyer's trick to impress the witness with a sense of his own unworthiness "that you went to bed early that night. Now, where was Joe Newbolt?" "I guess he was in bed," answered Ollie, her lips white; "I didn't go to see."
If the competition between her and Ri Hawkes gets any keener, Ollie will have to meet the train down at the crossing and nab the young man there. Sim Atkinson is taking a handful of letters down to the station as usual. Ever since he had his row with Postmaster Flint, he has refused to add to the receipts of the office, and buys his stamps of the mail clerk.
"Save your tears, madam, until they are needed," said the judge, not feeling that he was called upon to explain the purpose of his visit to her. "I'm ready to go," announced Ollie, hooded and cloaked in the door. Sim Harrison was stirring about overhead. He came to the top of the stairs with a lamp in his hand, and wanted to know what the rumpus was about.
The thought that Morgan and Ollie were alone in the house almost threw him into a fever of panic and haste. He must not be guilty of such an oversight again; he must stand like a stern wall between them, and be able to account for his trust to Isom with unclouded heart. Until the time he had entered Isom Chase's house, temptation never had come near Joe Newbolt.
