She felt how she must have colored, and was glad that her father called her, at that moment, to help him shell corn for the chickens. When she returned to the house, brightened up and laughing, her mother told her that Mrs. Rheid had said that Hollis had begun to write to her regularly and she was so proud of it.
I imagine that Linnet and Marjorie, even Will Rheid, would not understand that; but you and I are not led along in the easiest way. It must be because the answer is worth the hard work: his Word and Spirit can interpret all his involved and mystical answers.
How Marjorie's eyes brightened! She had found her ideal; she would give herself no rest until she had become like Helen Rheid. But Helen Rheid had everything to push her on, every one to help her. For the first time in her life Marjorie was disheartened. But, with a reassuring conviction, flashed the thought there were years before she would be seventeen. "Wouldn't you like to see her, Mousie?"
Mother Rheid, as Linnet says, will run over every day, and Father Rheid, too, I suspect. They love Linnet." "Marjorie, if I hadn't had you I believe I should have been content with Linnet, she is so loving."
But that letter from the old shipmaster that Captain Rheid used to know has been the means of it." "Is the bark named yet?" asked Marjorie. "Captain Rheid told father he was going to let Mrs. Rheid name it." "Yes," said Linnet, dropping her eyes to hide the smile in them, "she is named LINNET." "Oh, how nice!
The boys said that Hollis was the Joseph among them, his father's favorite; but Hollis and his father had never opened their hearts to each other. Captain Rheid often declared that there was no knowing what his boys would do if they were not kept in; perhaps they had him to thank that they were not all in state-prison.
"But no man is perfect," she had sighed to Mrs. Rheid, "even my poor husband would keep dinner waiting."
She supposed Helen Rheid would know what a Puritan maiden was. "I won't tease you," he said penitently. "I'll find you something to make the loss good, perhaps I'll find something she'll like a great deal better." "Mr. Onderdonk has a plate that came from Holland, it's over two hundred years old he told Miss Prudence; oh, if you could get that!" cried Marjorie, clasping her hands in her eagerness.
Linnet's hour was nine o'clock when she was studying, and look at her and Nannie Rheid." "But I'm not getting through to be married, as Linnet was." "How do you know?" asked Miss Prudence. "Not intentionally, then," smiled Marjorie, opening her eyes this time. "I'm not the old maid that eschews matrimony; all I want is to choose for you and Prue."
"Even in Middlefield," laughed Marjorie her heart brimming over with the thought that, after all, she might be as truly a lady as Helen Rheid. If Linnet had been as excited as Marjorie was, at that moment, she would have given a bound into the grass and danced all around. But Marjorie only sat still trembling with a flush in eyes and cheeks.
