Sin Saxon tossed Miss Craydocke's parcel into the "little red" as they passed it by, taking the road in advance, giving a saucy word of command to Jim Holden, which transferred the charge of its delivery to him, and calling out a hurried explanation to the ladies over her shoulder that "it would take them round the Cliff, the most wonderful point in all Outledge; up and down the whole length of New Hampshire they could see from there, if their eyes were good enough!"
What is the use of telling things? I'll wait till I've done something that tells itself." There was a pretty general break-up at Outledge during the week following. The tableaux were the finale of the season's gayety, of this particular little episode, at least, which grew out of the association together of these personages of our story.
I speak of it here neither to uphold nor to condemn, simply because they did dance it at Outledge as they do everywhere, and I cannot tell my story without it; but I think at this moment, when Sin Saxon led the figure with Martha Josselyn, there was something lovely, not alone in its graceful grouping, but in the very spirit and possibility of the thing that so appeared.
Susan Josselyn's quiet letter said, "That kindness which kept us on and made it beautiful for us, strangers, at Outledge, has brought to me, by God's providence, this great happiness of my life." After a long pause of trying to take it in, Leslie looked up. "What a summer this has been! So full, so much has happened! I feel as if I had been living such a great deal!"
A little picture I will give you, farther on, a hint of something farther yet, and say good-by. Some of them came back to Outledge, and stayed far into the still, rich September. Delight and Leslie sat before the Green Cottage one morning, in the heart of a golden haze and a gorgeous bloom. All around the feet of the great hills lay the garlands of early-ripened autumn.
Thoresby took possession; had praised the tableaux, as "quite creditable, really, considering the resources we had," and was following a slight lead into a long talk, of information and advice on her part, about Dixville Notch. The General thought he should go there, after a day or two at Outledge. Just here came up Dakie Thayne.

"Only two days here?" they began to say, when they gathered in Mrs. Linceford's room at nearly tea-time, after a rest and freshening of their toilets. "We might stay longer," Mrs. Linceford answered. "But the rooms are taken for us at Outledge, and one can't settle and unpack, when it's only a lingering from day to day. All there is here one sees from the windows.
The secrets were secrets through the day; and Mrs. Linceford had her quiet fun, and opportunity for her demure teasing. "How long since Outledge was discovered and settled? by the moderns, I mean," said Mr. Wharne. "What chance will one really have of quiet there?" "Well, really, to be honest, Mr. Wharne, I'm afraid Outledge will be just at the rampant stage this summer.
