Meecher, not unwillingly, for she was a woman who enjoyed the tragedies of life, made her second essay in the direction of lowering Sally's uplifted mood. "Poor old gentleman, he ain't over and above well. Went to bed early last night with a headache, and this morning I been to see him and he don't look well. There's a lot of this Spanish influenza about. It might be that.
But she would have none of them. "I will have a millionaire or nothing," she said, with a little laugh. On two or three occasions, much to Sally's chagrin, Mr. Gardiner invited Louise to drive without her. "That shows which way the wind is beginning to blow," she thought; and she looked at her sister critically.
Everything was quite dark; but there was a blackness just behind her that was like the figure of a man. It took shape; it came nearer and nearer. Sally's heart stopped beating, and she shrank back against the railing of one of the houses. She felt a deadly sickness upon her, a dreadful horror. "Sally!" It was Toby. He was abreast, inescapable. He loomed over her like a figure of vengeance.
As for Alec and Bob, it did not matter much to them whose hands they held, so that the circle moved briskly and sang lustily. And this it surely did. "Are you happy, little girl?" asked Jarvis, bending to speak into Sally's ear, as the circle broke up. Smiling, Sally dashed away a tear. "So happy I'm almost crying," she owned.
Only the worst was convincing enough for her misery. He was gone. He was done with her. She had lost him. No wonder then when she was alone Sally's eyes filled with weak tears. Fortunately enough the next day was a Saturday, and she was able to go alone up to Waterlow Park, on Highgate Hill.
She might not believe you was ill if she saw you lookin' so smart. Might think you was takin' a day off to go to the Zoo." They parted, May Pearcey to spin a tale of Sally's illness to Miss Jubb, and Sally to proceed, after getting a pair of black cotton gloves, to the West End.
She clung to him now, in the dark kitchen porch, in a fever of pure desire. Their hearts beat together. Sally's arms were bent against the boy's big chest, as his embrace crushed her; they breathed like runners as they kissed each other.
"But I have no money. You must help me up!" "Down there safe. Is you hungry?" "No, Ferd. The food you took out of Aunt Sally's pantry kept me from that." The dwarf threw himself backward, on the rocky floor above, and laughed loudly, yet his mirth was shortlived. Pedro's hand was on his throat before a movement had been heard, and Pedro's voice was calling into the pit: "Here am I, Sunny Face.
She did not intrude her own affairs upon them, but she was used to conversing kindly with the people about her as equals, and for this offence; on the third day, Miss Sally Broke snubbed her. It is hard not to make a heroine of Cynthia, not to be able to relate that she instantly put Miss Sally's nose out of joint.
"Good God! It's tough! Here am I, worried to death, and you..." Before he could finish the sentence, Sally's mood had undergone one of those swift changes which sometimes made her feel that she must be lacking in character. A simple, comforting thought had come to her, altering her entire outlook.
