You never could get anything out of him that he didn't want to tell, and I was never able to discover what he had been doing in the southern part of the State." As she pondered on her changed relationship to Lize, Lee's heart lightened. It would make a difference to Ross. It would make a difference to the Redfields.
Still they did not part. His voice was very tender as he said, "I don't like to see you exposed to such experiences." "I was not afraid only for you a little," she answered. "The Redfields like you. Eleanor told me she would gladly help you. Why do you stay here?" "I cannot leave my mother." "I'm not so sure of your duty in that regard. She got on without you for ten years.
In these long hours his thought played about the remembrance of his last visit to the Fork and his hour with Lee. He wondered what she was doing at the moment. How charming she had looked there at Redfields' so girlish in form, so serious and womanly of face! He felt as never before the ineludible loneliness of the ranger's life.
He was of a tradition which held him closer to the wilderness than most of the people of Leatherwood; in the two generations before him the Redfields had won and held their lands against the Indians, and had fought them in the duels, from tree to tree, which the pioneers taught the savages, or learned from them, risking their lives and scalps in the same chances.
Call up the Redfields; they will help you." "Mother wants you. She says she must see you. Come as soon as you can. I don't know what she wants to tell you but I do know we need you." Her meaning was as clear as if she said: "I need you, for I love you. Come to me." And her prayer filled him with pain as well as pleasure.
A much larger shell than those on the what-not, with a landscape containing a cow and other objects no doubt intended as human, propped open the door into the hall. A white marble clock, with a large piece of white coral lying on its top and under a glass case like the wax flowers, ticked away on the high mantel in the dignified and quiet way which befitted a clock belonging to the Redfields.
For to Arethusa, as the sole descendant of the Redfields, would go some day all the land of their owning, and to Timothy had already been left the home Farm of his grandfather, because of his name. "I shall never marry Timothy," said Arethusa, "Never! If the land was plaited in and out, I never would!"
It naturally followed that they were dark and starry the greater part of the time, for she was Arethusa and in an almost constant state of excitement. And she was quite tall and slender, very unlike the Redfields. They were all small and compactly built; but Arethusa had got her height from her father.
England, his blood relatives, even the Redfields, seemed very remote to the ranger, as he stood in his door that night and watched the sparkle of Swenson's camp-fire through the trees. With the realization that there waited a brave girl of the type that loves single-heartedly, ready to sacrifice everything to the welfare of her idealized subject, he felt unworthy, selfish, vain.
