Love is the sort of thing that makes two silly idiots run away and get married and live in a shelter-house, upsetting everybody's plans, while their betters have to worry themselves sick and carry them victuals." He got up and began to walk up and down the spring-house, scowling at the floor. "Of course," he agreed, "he may be a decent sort, and she may really want him." "Of course she does!"
They wanted to have her wakened at once, but I refused, although I agreed to bring her out first thing in the morning. "But you can't stay here," I said. "There'll be Miss Cobb at nine o'clock, and the man comes to light the fire at eight." "We could go to the old shelter-house on the golf links," suggested Mr. Dick, looking me square in the eye. "Nobody ever goes near it in winter."
We got into the shelter-house by my crawling through a window, and when we had lighted the fire and hung up the lantern, it didn't seem so bad. The place had been closed since summer, and it seemed colder than outside, but those two did the barn dance then and there. There were two rooms, and Mr. Dick had always used the back one to hide in. It's a good thing Mrs. Dick was not a suspicious person.
Miss Patty came back to the shelter-house again and sat down on the soap box. "We MIGHT carry it off," she said. "If I could only go back to town! But father is in one of his tantrums, and he won't go, or let me go. The idea! with Aunt Honoria on the long-distance wire every day, having hysterics, and my clothes waiting to be tried on and everything. I'm desperate."
"My dear old chap," he was saying, "it would be as much as your life's worth. That ground is full of holes and just now covered with snow !" He caught my eye, and wiped his forehead. "Heaven help us!" he said, coming over to the spring, "I found him making for the shelter-house, armed with a foot rule! Somebody's got to take him in hand I tell you, the man's a menace!" "What about the doctor?"
Moody refused to take the military walk, and was presented with his bill and a railroad schedule within an hour. It was on Monday that we really got things started, and on Monday afternoon Miss Summers came out to the shelter-house in a towering rage. "Where's Mr. Pierce?" she demanded. "I guess you can see he isn't here," I said. "Just wait until I see him!" she announced.
"Then we'll not have any books," he said. "I guess they can manage. 'My only books were woman's looks " and then he saw the ball of paper on the floor and his expression changed. He walked over and picked it up, smoothing it out on the palm of his hand. After a minute he looked up at me. "I haven't been to the shelter-house to-day. They are all right?" "They're nervous.
Like the shelter-house, it was a cow-shed in which the Almighty received the poor ones of the earth. On entering, Pierre felt himself to be in some common hall trod by the footsteps of an ever-changing crowd. But the brilliant sunlight no longer streamed on the pallid walls, the tapers burning at every altar simply gleamed like stars amidst the uncertain gloom which filled the building.
Already on reaching the Place du Rosaire it was difficult to take another forward step. "There is no hope of getting to the Grotto yet awhile," he said. "The best course would be to turn into one of the pathways behind the pilgrims' shelter-house and wait there." Marie, however, greatly desired to see the procession start. "Oh! pray try to go as far as the Gave," said she.
Unable to stay any longer at the shelter-house owing to the complaints caused by the child's constant moaning, she had carried her off into the night, and during two hours had roamed about in the darkness, lost, distracted, bearing this poor flesh of her flesh, which she pressed to her bosom, unable to give it any relief.
