Ostermaier says it is painful to watch her holding them in place when she yawns. Strangely enough, however, a few weeks later Tish's enthusiasm for the West had apparently vanished.
One bunch of keys. One plug of chewing-tobacco. Four cartridge belts. Two old pipes. Mr. Ostermaier's cigar-case, which I recognized at once, being the one we had presented to him. Mrs. Ostermaier's wedding-ring and gold bracelet, which her sister gave her on her last birthday. A diamond solitaire, unknown, as Mrs. Ostermaier never owned one, preferring instead earrings as more showy.
Ostermaier's face was terrible, and only two days ago Mrs. Ostermaier came over to ask about putting an extra width in the skirt to her last winter's suit. But it is my belief that she came to save Tish's soul, and nothing else. "I'm so glad wide skirts have come in," she said. "They're so modest, aren't they, Miss Tish?" "Not in a wind," Tish said, eying her coldly.
Ostermaier, we had been members of Mr. Ostermaier's church, and liked him, although his sermons were shorter than Tish entirely approved of. We withdrew again to seclusion until they had passed, and Tish gave them ten minutes to get well ahead. Then we rode out. Tish's face was stern as she led off. The shriek of Mrs. Ostermaier was still, as she said in a low tone, ringing in her ears.
Ostermaier, and it's kind of you to think so, why, I'm not selfish." Mrs. Ostermaier's face was terrible. She gathered up her skirt and rose. "I shall not tell Mr. Ostermaier what you have just said," she observed with her mouth set hard. "We owe you a great deal, especially the return of my earrings. But I must request, Miss Tish, that you do not voice such sentiments in the Sunday school."
It was like this: Along in June of the year before last, Aggie suddenly announced that she was going to spend the summer in Canada. "It's the best thing in the world for hay fever," she said, avoiding Tish's eye. "Mrs. Ostermaier says she never sneezed once last year. The Northern Lights fill the air with ozone, or something like that." "Fill the air with ozone!" Tish scoffed. "Fill Mrs.
Ostermaier was gloating over her earrings, but she looked up at Tish's tired and grimy face, at the mud encrusted on me from my accident the day before, at Aggie in her turban. "Go and wash, all of you," she said kindly, "and I'll order some hot tea." But Tish shook her head. "Tea nothing!" she said firmly. "I want a broiled sirloin steak and potatoes. And" she looked Mrs.
"How was I to know " the girl began sullenly. But at that moment I found Mrs. Ostermaier' chamois bag thrust into her riding-boot, and she suddenly went pale. Tish held it up before her accusingly. "I dare say you will not deny this," she exclaimed, and took Mrs. Ostermaier's earrings out of it. The men muttered, but Aggie was equal to the occasion.
Ostermaier, sitting dejectedly by the fire. When she saw us, she sprang to her feet and came to meet us. "Oh, Miss Tish, Miss Tish!" she said. "What I have been through! Attacked on a lonely mountain-top and robbed of everything. My reason is almost gone. And my earrings, my beautiful earrings!"
As Aggie said afterward, no one would have thought that, but a day or two before, he had been heartbroken because she was in love with someone else. "As to that," he said, "it is questionable, according to Mrs. Ostermaier, that nothing was taken from you, and that as soon as the attack was over you basely deserted her and followed the bandits.
