Amos went into the kitchen for a drink and Kent followed her to the window and took both her hands. "Lydia," he said, "I'm awful sorry to press you so, but you're being unfair and foolish, honestly you are. You used to let me look out for you in the old days the old days when I used to pull little Patience's carriage with my bicycle why can't you trust me now?
With him was his brother Leonard, who had just fired his last pistol shot at random, luckily without hitting any one. Patience's first impulse was to prepare to defend himself. On recognising Marcasse, however, the fugitives, far from showing themselves hostile, asked for shelter and help. As their situation was so desperate no one thought that assistance should be refused.
Patience's spinning wheel especially, and the tools, scythe, hook, and spade, all of which had been so much damaged, that Smith Blane had shaken his head over them as past mending. Perhaps, however, Stead might borrow and get these made for him. As to the wheel, that must, like the churn, wait till the siege was over.
I made a little collection, which I left at Patience's as I passed; we will go and see them, if you like. But, on our way, I must tell you what happened to me as I approached the spring. I was walking upon the wet stones with my head down, guided by the slight noise of the clear little jet of water which bursts from the heart of the mossy rock.
Then came the other question of attendance on his ministry, and whether to attend the feast given out for the Sunday week, after the long-forced abstinence: Patience's, ever since the break-up of the parish; Steadfast's, since the siege of Bristol. Dr. Eales considered, "I cannot bid you go to that in the efficacy of which neither you nor I believe, my son," he said. "It would not be with faith.
The third Spencer to own the business married a Yankee Patience Babcock but Patience's only son married a French-Canadian girl for even then the Canadians were drifting down into our part of the country.
Patience's good butter and fresh eggs had come to be known in Bristol, and besides, Stead and Rusha used to find plovers' eggs on the common, for which the merchants' ladies would pay them, or later for wild strawberries and for whortleberries.
Little Patience's tears were assuaged when she was placed in the doll buggy, with Margery's doll in her arms. Florence Dombey was tied papoose fashion to Lydia's back. The bicycle was hidden in the cave and with Kent wheeling Margery and Lydia, Patience, the procession started wildly for home.
"I'll carry her," said Lizzie. The baby opened her eyes. "No, no one cally but Lyd." "Let Daddy carry you," begged Amos. Patience's little voice rose to a wail. "No one cally but Lyd." "You don't have to be so polite," sniffed Lydia, "I carry her all the time." She lifted the sleepy baby easily and Patience dropped her soft cheek against Lydia's and closed her eyes again. Lydia turned to Marshall.
"What do you want to play, after lunch?" "Robinson Crusoe," replied Kent promptly. "You'll have to be Friday." As recipient of his bounty, Lydia recognized Kent's advantage and conceded the point without protest. She held Patience's abbreviated bathing suit skirt with one hand. "Where are you heading for, baby?" she asked. "Mardy! Mardy!" screamed Patience, tugging at her leash.
