We made our way back by the drove road, Ronny McKinnon and me, and we were silent for the most part, for there was that in my throat to keep me from speaking, for Dan was gone, and no rowing would get him back, and who could get word to him.
Muriel made this announcement with a tantalizing smile. "I would know you anywhere," contradicted Jerry. "I'll bet you a dinner at Baretti's that I'll walk up to you after the grand march and say 'Hello, Muriel." "I'll bet you you don't," was Muriel's confident reply. "This dance has put a large crimp in basket ball," Ronny suddenly observed. "It seems to be at a standstill.
Once Frances had stood up for the three Aunties, against Grannie; now Grannie and the three Aunties were united against Frances. "Frances, you're a foolish woman." "My folly is my own affair and Anthony's." "You'll have to pay for it some day." "You might have thought of your own children first." "I did. I thought, How would I like them to be forsaken like poor Ronny?"
And he has been saying something about . . . ?" "It isn't only Ronny, you know," Freddie hastened to interject. "Algy Martyn's talking about it, too. And lots of other fellows. And Algy's sister and a lot of people. They're all saying . . ." "What are they saying?" Freddie bent down and chafed the back of his legs.
It was a warmth of regard which Marjorie drew from those who had learned to know the fine sweetness of her disposition. "I think we are the only ones at Hamilton to hang May baskets," Vera observed. "It's a custom that ought to be brought forward." "It is a beautiful idea." Ronny patted lovingly the big blue bow on her basket for Miss Remson. She was extremely fond of the good little manager.
Muriel and Ronny were still engaged with the group of Silverton Hall girls. It was quite likely they had not yet returned to Hamilton. "Just as soon as we can collect your crowd, Marjorie, we'll spin you along to the Hall. Then, I beg to inform you, you are needed at a grand rally at Baretti's.
"'I will not be a great hand at saying love talk, Ronny, she whispered. 'I can just be holding you tight, but take me if ye will be having so poor a lass, for I will have been loving you all to myself all the time.
She made us promise not to tell it right after the beauty contest. I don't care. I am glad you know it. I have always wished you and Helen and Vera could see her dance. She is a marvel." At this juncture Ronny joined them. In the darkness she did not see Leila's Cheshire cat grin, born of Jerry's unintentional betrayal.
Why, she wouldn't look at me if I didn't want to go." Suddenly he remembered Michael. "I mean," he said, "after my saying that I was going." Their eyes met. Michael's flickered. He knew that Nicky was thinking of him. "Then Ronny knows?" said Frances. "Of course she knows. You aren't going to try to stop me, Mother?" "No," she said. "I'm not going to try to stop you this time."
It grows more and more so, simply swinging you on to them, and that swing makes up for all the rotten times put together. You needn't be sorry for us. It's waste of pity. I know Don and Dorothy and Dad and Ronny aren't sorry for us. But I'm not so sure of Michael and Mother. Always your loving, May, 1915.
