All through October 14th the Midland men of the 46th Division held on to their ground, and some of the Sherwoods made a new attack, clearing the enemy out of the east portion of the redoubt. It was lucky that it coincided with a counter-attack made by the enemy at a different point, because it relieved the pressure there.
She drove abroad, received her men friends, gave them impartial advice and help in their difficulties, dressed well, and carried on a life of many small activities. The Sherwoods were always an attractive looking and imposing couple, whenever they appeared. About three or four times a year they drove into the residential part of town and made a half-dozen formal calls on the Keiths among others.
They took the body out in the evening. He was a Roman Catholic and his nearest of kin lived in Quebec. The next morning the Sherwoods had a casualty. A soldier was shot through the heart by a sniper. There was one consolation, my men claimed they got the men of two patrols of Germans. In one patrol there were six men, and the six went down on the first volley.
Wide red- lined nostrils softly expanded and contracted with a restrained eagerness; and soft eyes rolled in the direction of the Sherwoods keen, lithe, nervous, high-strung creatures, gently stamping little hoofs, impatiently tossing dainty heads, but nevertheless making no movement that would stir the vehicle that stood "cramped" at the steps.
The family-life at this time was very pleasant. Gussie seemed to have forgotten, for the time, all her former jealous and unkind feelings, which had made her so often, while in Halifax, an unpleasant member of the household. Society in Lennoxville was pleasant and attractive, and the Sherwoods were made right welcome among a choice circle of friends.
"Anything you're good enough to think up, Barney Palmer, I guess I'm good enough to put over," she answered coolly. And then: "What's the other way?" she asked. "Old stuff. Have to be a sure-enough marriage. Sherwoods are big-time people, you know; a sister who's a regular somebody. After marriage, family permitted to learn truth perhaps something much worse than truth. Family horrified.
She surveyed herself in the flawed glass, moving from side to side, fascinated at the strange distortions. "I call it positive extortion, charging what they do for a room like this," grumbled Keith, busy at the trunk. "The Sherwoods must pay a mint of money for theirs. I wonder what he does!" Her attention attracted by this subject, she arrested her posing before the mirror.
Sherwood as a person, but to sudden intimacy as such, had been aroused. It had had, in her own mind, no excuse. She knew she ought to be grateful and cordial; she felt that she was not quite ready. The fact that the Sherwoods had proved to be "common gamblers" gave just the little excuse her conscience needed to draw back a trifle.
This, it should be added, was also quite instinctive, not at all a formulated thought. She said nothing for some time; then remarked mysteriously: "Perhaps that's why they go to meet boats." Keith, who was miles beyond the Sherwoods by now, looked bewildered.
"We've got something more to do here, the four of us, than to waste any time on lies. And just to prove to you that your lies will be wasted, I'll lay all my cards face up on the table. Since I got out I've been working for the Sherwoods. Larry Brainard was working there before me, and got me my job. I've seen this girl here my daughter that you've made into a crook out there twice.
