Catharine dreaded to be found herself a castaway; and the memory of Robert's denials of the faith magnified by her mental state, like trees in mist had now become an ever-haunting misery which tortured her unspeakably.
Many were talking freely and seemed to rejoice in the food and fires. It was Robert's surmise that they had arrived but recently and were weary. Their numbers were large, they certainly could not be less than four or five hundred, and his experience was great enough now to tell him that half of them, at least, were Canadian Indians. All were in war paint, and they had an abundance of arms.
He found the family assembled in their summer parlour, beneath the handsome butternut tree which Robert's axe had spared, and which repaid the indulgence by grateful shade and continual beauty of leafage. They were enjoying supper in the open air, the balmy evening air afloat with fragrant odours.
Elsmere, described Robert's Oxford career, with an admirable sense for effect, and a truly feminine capacity for murdering every university detail, drew pictures of the Murewell living, and rectory, of which Robert had photographs with him, threw in adroit information about the young man's private means, and in general showed what may be made of a woman's mind under the stimulus of one of the occupations most proper to it.
Without allowing himself to anticipate any particular measure of success in this adventure, he rode pleasantly into Chicago confident in the reflection that he had all the powers of morality and justice on his side. Upon Robert's arrival, the third morning after Louise's interview, he called up the warerooms, but Lester was not there.

Our people could have no truer, no braver ally. The arrival of Daganoweda alone is as the coming of ten men." The nostrils of the chief dilated. Obviously he was pleased at Robert's round and swelling sentences. "I come in the canoe of a foe," he said. "The warrior who was in it has gone into the lake." "We know that.
It came at the right moment; was it a help divine? What cowardice had been prompting her to evade it? After all, could it be a dreadful step that she was required to take? Her eyes met Robert's, and he said startlingly: "Just like a woman!" "Why?" but she had caught the significance, and blushed with spite. "He was the first to praise you." "You are brutal to me, Robert." "My name at last!
She had dismounted, and was letting her pony graze while she awaited Robert's return. A slight regret that she had offered to let this Quakeress be her mother's companion assailed her. "And was thee not punished for it?" Truelove Davis was regarding her with a curious steadiness of gaze that Peggy found extremely irksome.
Robert's bold stand for a holy Christian life made him the butt of many a joke, and a laughing-stock. They began to hunger for companionship and spiritual fellowship with those of like mind and hope. The gradual separation taking place, which was throwing over their neighbors a coldness toward them, accentuated the question of which church they were going to join.
