"Don't you know we've got the right Ida May with us at last Prudence's niece that has come here to visit for a while and play lady? Yes, you was fooled; we was bamboozled. That that other gal, Tunis, is a real bad one, I ain't no doubt. She pulled the wool over your eyes and made a monkey of most everybody, it seems. She "
"I'm sorry if I have hurt him. What made our sins hurt him so?" "His great love to us." "Nobody's sins ever hurt me so." "You do not love anybody well enough." The spirit of peace was brooding, at last, over the worn face. Morris had left her with his heart at rest, for the pain on lip and brow began to pass away in the first hour of Miss Prudence's presence.
He sprang up and found himself facing a white-haired boy, who held a little crying girl by a tight grasp of her arm, and who eyed him aggressively. "What did you hurt Prudence's father for? He was a good man. Did you shoot him?" He seized the boy roughly by the shoulder. "Prudence Prudence where is she?" "Here." He looked down at the little girl, who still cried.
Marjorie had never seen this kind of white dress before; it was a part of Miss Prudence's loveliness. The face was oval and delicate, with little color in the lips and less in the cheeks, smooth black hair was brushed away from the thoughtful forehead and underneath the heavily pencilled black brows large, believing, gray eyes looked unquestioningly out upon the world.
Just as Alice came up with her she started off again at right angles to the direction they had come, riding parallel with the bank. Alice, breathless and laughing, followed in her wake, until at length a break in the trees showed them a grassy patch which sank slowly down in a gentle declivity to the water's edge. By the time this was reached Prudence's good-humour was quite restored.
It came from just ahead of them and to the right. Alice's horse shied and danced nervously. Prudence's horse stood stock still. Then, as no further sound came, they started forward again. "My, but those owls are dreadful things," said Alice. "I believe I nearly fainted." "Come on," said Prudence. "After all they are only harmless owls."
She seated herself in the chair she had been occupying and asked Morris to make himself at home in Miss Prudence's chair directly opposite. He dropped into it, threw his head back and allowed his eyes to rove over everything in the room, excepting that flushed, half-averted face so near to him.
And how we would stop to moan and weep in very self-pity if we did know, and thus hinder the work of preparation from going on. Linnet played with the fringe of her shawl and looked as if something hard to speak were hovering over her lips. "Did mother tell you about Will?" she asked, abruptly, interrupting one of Miss Prudence's stories to Marjorie of which she had not heeded one word.
Prudence's eyes were wet, too, but not from laughter! What would etiquette think of her, after this? "What did you do to this soup, Prudence?" demanded Fairy. "I made it, nothing else," faltered poor Prudence, quite crushed by this blow. And oysters forty cents a pint! "It's pepper, I think," gasped Babbie. "My insides bear startling testimony to the presence of pepper."
Waqua complied, in part, with Prudence's invitation, feeling some contempt for a man who would permit such an indignity and advancing to the picture regarded it with keen and inquisitive glances. He refused, however, to touch the figure, until Prudence, taking his hand in hers, placed it on the canvas.
