Evidently, whatever her trouble, she had determined to bear it alone, but was now wavering. "Tell me, Mrs. Levins; perhaps I can help you?" "You can!" The words burst sobbingly from the woman. "Maybe you can prevent it. But, oh, Miss Rosalind, I wasn't to say anything Clay told me not to. But I'm so afraid! Clay's so hot-headed, and Trevison is so daring! I'm afraid they won't stop at anything!"
I will be everything to you. Oh, Grant!" And she ceased, sobbingly. The man said nothing. He could not understand at first; then came upon him, gradually, a comprehension of how different had been their dreams in some ways. It was inexplicable. He thought of the mother instinct which gives even to the little girl a doll.
"Oh, no, no, no! do not go away!" she moaned, sobbingly "Have some little pity! Do not leave me, Amadis! Is everything forgotten so soon? Think for a moment what you have said to me! what you have been to me! I thought you loved me, dear! yes, I thought you loved me! you told me so!"
And sobbingly she told the story her face buried too much of the time for her to see her brother's face, too shaken by her own sobs to mark how strange was his breathing. Wayne did not accuse her of not having played a fair game. He said almost nothing at all, save at the last, and that under his breath: "We'll move heaven and earth to get her back!"
"I've been afraid so much," she went on sobbingly. "Alone so much with things that frightened me. That night I was alone. All alone. And afraid. You see I went and went and went. Just to be getting away. And at last I was out in the country. And then I was afraid of that. I went in something that seemed to be a barn. Hid in some hay " He gripped her arm as if it were more than he could stand.
If I had all the money in the world I would not be able to go there because I have forgotten its name!" She laughed sobbingly, and went on. "And he's been in Brazil. He lived for a time in Rio de Janeiro." She stared fixedly at her mental image of the fateful house where there was a broken statue on a bier, shook herself, and went on. "And he's travelled in the forest.
A strangling fear took him by the throat if Cora should come to be a spectator of this unspeakable flight, if Cora should hear that horrid plea for love! Then farewell peace; indeed, farewell all joy in life forever! Panting sobbingly, he ducked under the amorous vampire's arm and fled on.
She did not resist; her anger was instantly melted in grief. Her arms went round his neck, and she sobbingly implored his pardon. "Forgive me forgive me. I didn't know I don't know what I am saying. Oh! my heart is breaking, David! Help me help me to think! We must do something we mustn't stand here crying like this. Think! Think! Help me to think what we can do."
Clomp-clomp-clomp went her hoofs on the baked clay; the dust smothered and stung, and he was holding for all he was worth to reins spanned stiff as iron. On they flew; his body hammered the saddle; his breath came sobbingly. But he kept his seat; and a couple of miles farther on he was down, soothing the wild-eyed, quivering, sweating beast, whose nostrils worked like a pair of bellows.
As it was, the fireman escaped with a few bruises and slight scorching, and Mrs. Hayden with a broken limb. First they feared she was dead, but after a few moments she revived and moaned feebly for husband and children. Little Mabel clung desperately to her mother, and sobbingly told her "only the house was burnt. Fred and Jamie were safe, and now she must get up and be glad."
