Billy did not understand the sudden shadow that fell across Rachael's face, but she saw it, and wondered. "Very well, my dear." "Does he get down here often? It's a hard trip." "He always comes in his car. They make it in I don't know something like two hours and ten minutes, I think. This is my house, with all its hydrangeas in full bloom. Yes, isn't it nice?
"Not necessarily," smiled Doctor Valentine. "Why, doesn't he want to go?" "I don't want him to go!" Rachael asserted. "It would be a senseless risk to take that baby across the ocean," Alice contributed, and no more was said of the possibility then or at any other time, to Rachael's great content.
When Hamilton made her understand that they were penniless, and that his only means of supporting her was to accept an offer from Peter Lytton to take charge of a cattle estate on St. Croix, Rachael's controlling sensation was dismay that this man whom she had idolized and idealized, who was the forgiven cause of her remarkable son's illegitimacy, was a failure in his competition with other men.
The doctor was silent for a long time. "I don't know what Greg's doing," he added after thought. "The question is, what is Magsie doing?" said Alice. "In my opinion, Rachael's simply blown up," George submitted. "Magsie told her they had talked of marriage!" Alice countered. George gave an incredulous snort. "Well, then, Magsie lied," he said firmly. "She really isn't the lying type, George.
Indeed, over Rachael's torn and shaken spirit there had fallen of late a peace and a sense of security that she had never before known in her life. She tried not to think of Warren any more, or at least to think of him as he had been in the happy days when they had been all in all to each other.
Looking up and toward his wife as she sat opposite him in the lamp-light, Warren Gregory found no smile on the beautiful face. Rachael's hurt was deeper than her pride; she looked stricken. "Don't put yourself in their class, my dear!" her husband said leniently. "You need some country air. You'll get down to Clark's Hills in a week or two and blow some of these notions away.
"In an hour, or an hour and a half," she said. The shadows grew deeper. Rachael's face seemed unchanged, but Saton had grown so pale that his fixed eyes seemed to have become unnaturally large. Sometimes his lips moved, though the sounds which he uttered never resolved themselves into speech. At last Rachael rose to her feet. She pointed out of the window. Saton gave a little gasp.
No, you mark my words, Alice, Greg has let Magsie Clay make a fool of him; he's been overtired and nervous we've all seen that but he's as innocent of any actual harm in this thing as our Gogo!" "Innocent!" sniffed Alice. "He'll break Rachael's heart with his innocence, and then he'll marry Magsie Clay you'll see!" "He'll come to me to get him out of it within the month you'll see!"
If he was footsore and couldn't walk, I sent him, in the letter he got, the money to ride, lest he should have none of his own to spare. 'Let us hope that to-morrow will bring something better, Rachael. Come into the air! Her gentle hand adjusted Rachael's shawl upon her shining black hair in the usual manner of her wearing it, and they went out.
And real and becoming tears came suddenly to her eyes; she dropped Warren's hands to find a filmy little handkerchief. A second later her smile flashed out again. "You don't mind his being kind to me, do you, Rachael?" she asked childishly. Rachael's mouth was dry, she felt that her smile was hideous. "Why should I, Magsie?" she asked a little huskily, "He's kind to everyone!"
