But think of the life of a girl of whom I shall tell you a young girl by the name of Rhona Hemlitz." She went on. She told the story of Rhona's life, and then quietly she turned to her theme. "You understand now, don't you? Are you going to help these girls win their fight?" The walls trembled with what followed stamping, shouting, clapping. Myra sat down, her cheeks red, her eyes brilliant.
This perhaps explains Rhona's mad story. 'Does anybody but you think she's going to be married? I asked her. 'Does her father think so? 'Her daddy says it ain't Sinfi as is goin' to be married; but I think it's Sinfi! An' you'll know all about it the day arter to-morrow. And she tripped away in the direction of the camp.

Drawn together by their love for Joe and Joe's mother was quick in divining they felt as if they knew each other intimately, though they had met for the first time that afternoon, when Myra, having reported Rhona's arrest to Joe, groped her way blindly to the rear kitchen and stood, trying not to sob, before the elder woman. She had asked: "Are you Mrs. Blaine?" and had gone on.
She wondered that Joe had ever thought well of her, had ever been content to share his life with her. Driven by these thoughts and by her fear and her apprehension for Rhona's safety, she plunged west, borne by the wind, buffeted, beaten, blown along. The lights behind the French windows were like beacons in a storm. She staggered into the hall, entered the room.

She paled a little at the words. "Joe," she whispered, "we're in the court. Rhona's waiting for us." Then he understood. "And I've been sleeping, and you let me sleep?" He laughed softly. "What a good soul you are! Rhona! Come, quick!" They arose, Joe rubbing his eyes, and stepped forward. Myra felt stiff and sore.
