Juliet was not dead nor the man she loved, changed maybe but not dead. In some extraordinary way she knew it as surely as though she herself had once been Juliet. Religion to Phyl had meant little, the Bible a book of fair promises and appalling threats, vague promises but quite definite threats.
We could have a boatman to help sail and steer." He spoke lightly and laughingly, and without much enthusiasm and as though he were talking to some one of his own sex, and Phyl, not knowing how to take him, said nothing. He went on, his tone growing warmer. "I'm not joking, I'm dead sick of Grangersons and Charleston, and I reckon you are too aren't you?" "No."
I'm crazy now to see it." "What's made you crazy to see it?" "Because it's the place you come from." Phyl sniffed. "I hate compliments." "I wasn't complimenting you, I was complimenting Ireland," said Silas sweetly. She was silent, a white moth passing close to her held her gaze for a moment, then it flitted away across the bushes.
I found a bundle of her old letters " she paused. Richard Pinckney had taken his place on the little seat, just as one sits down in an armchair to see if it is comfortable, and was leaning back amidst the bush branches. "This is all right," said he, "sit down, there's lots of room you found her letter, tell us all about it." Phyl sat down and told the little story. It seemed to interest him.
Miss Pinckney carefully put the sheet she was examining on one side, opened the parcel and looked at the wool. "I met Silas Grangerson," said Phyl as the other was examining the purchase with head turned on one side, holding it now in this light, now in that. "Silas Grangerson! Why, where on earth has he sprung from?" asked Miss Pinckney in a voice of surprise.
Though Miss Pinckney was in ignorance of the affair she was strangely silent during the drive home and when Phyl went to her room to bid her good night, she found her in tears, a very rare occurrence with Miss Pinckney. She was seated in an armchair crying and Phyl knelt down beside her and took her hand. Then it all came out.
"Are you going to to " cried Phyllis, the color gone from her face. "We're going to capture him alive if we can, Phyl. You're to wait right here till we come back. You may hear shooting. Don't let that worry you. We've got the drop on him, or will have. Nobody is going to get hurt if he acts sensible," Healy reassured. "Don't you move from here.
"I'm right glad to hear it and I want to say they don't make girls any better than Phyl." "That's not news to me. I have known it since the first time I saw her." Sanderson returned to the order of the day. "Well, Brill and I had had one or two tiffs, mostly about you and Phyl. He saw I was changed toward him, and he wanted to know why.
Vernons belonged to the Mascarenes, my mother brought it to my father as part of her wedding portion. The Pinckneys' old house was lost to us in the smash up after the war. So, you see, Phyl ought to be as much at home at Vernons as I am. Funny, isn't it, how things get mixed up and old family houses change hands?" "And when do you want to take her away?" asked Hennessey.
I don't mind, and I don't want to see them, they weren't intended for other eyes than his and hers and maybe yours since they were shewn you like that." "Was it wrong of me to look at them?" asked Phyl. "I never would have done it only only Oh, I don't know, I somehow felt she wouldn't mind.
