But as the child, clinging to Rose-Marie's hand, came over to her side, she was suddenly galvanized into action. "Oh, darlin', darlin'," she sobbed wildly, "Ella was a-goin' ter leave you! Ella was a-goin' away. But she isn't now not now! Darlin'," her arms were flung wildly about the little figure, "show, some way, that you forgive Ella who loves you!" Rose-Marie was crying, quite frankly.
The very tone of his voice was a sacrilege, as he said it. Rose-Marie's eyes were blurred with tears as she spoke her answer to his challenge. She was remembering the prayers that she had said back home in the little town. She was remembering how her aunts had taught her, when she was a wee girl, to talk with God to call upon Him in times of deep perplexity.
Rose-Marie's face was a study of mixed emotions consternation struggling with incredulity for first place. The man saw the unbelief; for he hurried on before she could speak. "Yer think that I'm like my pa was" he told her "livin' on measly wages! Well, I ain't. Some nights I make a pile that runs inter thousands an' it'll be all fer yer! All fer yer!" Of a sudden, Rose-Marie spoke.
There was eagerness and a hint of something else in Jim's voice as he repeated his question. "Well," he asked for the second time, "what d' yer say about it huh? How'd yer like ter marry me?" Rose-Marie's fascinated eyes were on his face. At the first she had hardly believed her ears but her ears had evidently been functioning properly. Jim wanted to marry her to marry her!
The woman nodded, and again the suggestion of a light flamed up in her eyes. "Sure I like you," she said, "you are good to all of us an' to Lily." "Then," Rose-Marie's voice was quivering with eagerness, "then won't you try for my sake to make things here," the sweep of her hand included every corner of the ugly room, "a little better? I'll help you, very gladly.
Rose-Marie's head was still gallantly lifted. "I mean," she said, "that I won't marry you! Please we'll let the matter drop, at once!" The man came a step nearer. The bewilderment was dying from his face. "Not much, we won't let the matter drop!" he snarled. "What's yer reason fer turnin' me down huh?" It was then that Rose-Marie made her mistake. It was then that she ceased to be tactful.
