Uncomprehendingly Rachael continued: "You can have the room just off this one. I can lend you everything you need." Collins's eyes implored her like a dog's; Captain Wolf's arm had settled familiarly around Rachael's waist; they were waiting. But the lure of promiscuity, colorful, various, labyrinthine, and ever a little odorous and stale, had no call or promise for Gloria.
But Rachael's soul, which had felt faint for many days, rose triumphant in the face of this last affliction. Like all West Indians, she hated extreme heat, and during those months on her own Islands when the trades hibernated, rarely left the house. She remembered little of St. Croix.
Mitchell drove over for the eleven o'clock breakfast. They were very kind, but they were many years older than the youngest of their family, proudly conscious of their virtue, uncomprehending of the emotions which had nearly wrenched Rachael's soul from her body more than once. Moreover, Mrs.
"You know you have always had a sneaking desire to see Rio." Warren smiled mechanically. It had been Rachael's favorite dream "when the boys are big enough!"

Villages flew by, and men came out and stood on the dripping porches of crossroad stores to marvel as the long scream of Rachael's horn cut through the night air. Twenty minutes past eight o'clock eight minutes of nine o'clock. The little villages began to grow dark. There was nothing to pass on the road; so much was gain.
But the interruption roused her, and she watched the little pair with pleasure as they trotted before her on the drying sidewalks. Derry was blond and Jim dark, yet they looked alike, both with Rachael's dark, expressive eyes, and with their father's handsome mouth and sudden, appealing smile.
But Clara's mother was a church woman, and her father a deeply religious man. It was his mother, "old lady Mumford" Rachael's great-grandmother who taught the child her catechism whenever she could get hold of that restless and lawless little girl.
