It was wonderful how much time 'Stashie had for that or anything else Ariadne needed. She was putting more milk on the stove when in dashed Uncle Marius, his mouth wide open and his hands jumping around. "Where's your mother? Where's Mrs. Hollister?" he cried. "Out in the arbor," said Ariadne. "Alone?" "Oh, no " Ariadne began to explain, but the doctor had darted to the window.
The door had slammed. Mr. Hollister had not called for the tie she was pressing for him in the kitchen 'Stashie told herself fiercely that "killing wud be too good for her, makin' trouble like the divil's own!" She listened anxious for Lydia's answer. "Daddy's coming back to us as soon as his business is done," said Paul's wife.
Her thoughts hummed with a steady, dizzy speed around and around the central idea that something must be done and that she was now the only one to do it. 'Stashie thought to herself that she had never seen Mrs. Hollister look so well, her eyes were so bright, her cheeks so pink.
And she often laughed to herself during these days at the absurd incongruity of what her heart was swelling to utter and the occasions on which she would have to speak. 'Stashie was away, tending her aunt who was ill, away for an indefinite period, for Patsy's steady wages quite sufficed to keep his cousin at home to care for his grandmother.
"Quick 'Stashie hurry keep the baby out of the room! Your mistress has fainted!" Dr. Melton burst open the door of the house in the Black Rock woods, and running to the owner caught hold of his bared brown arm. "Paul Hollister is dead!" he cried. "I read the papers," said Rankin, looking down at him without stirring. "The damn fool!" cried the doctor, his face working. "Just now!
Lydia gave an exclamation of dismay. "But I must get back to Bellevue to-night!" Paul was out of town, but she knew the agonies of anxiety 'Stashie would suffer if she did not appear. "Oh, but I can telephone," she reminded herself. "You kin get out there if you don't mind takin' the long way around," the man explained with a friendly interest.
"The front door bell's ringin'," said 'Stashie, departing in that direction, with the assurance of her own ability to choose the proper task for herself, so exasperating to her master.
To which 'Stashie exclaimed, in awestruck wonder before the mysteries of creation, "Folks do be the beatin'est, don't they now, Mis' Hollister!" "And you must not speak of Mr. Hollister's aunt as a 'poor old soul," explained Lydia, apprehensive of Paul's wrath if he ever chanced to hear such a characterization. "But she is that," protested 'Stashie.
Lydia was slave to the nurses, alert for the slightest service she could render them, divining, with a desperate intuition, their needs before they were formulated. 'Stashie was the only person who paid the least attention to her, 'Stashie the only phenomena to break in on the solitude that surrounded her like an illimitable plain. 'Stashie made her eat.
The little girls ate their lunch on their rock, mourning over the failure of their plans, and scheming ways to meet the new obstacle. Stashie suggested, "Couldn't your Aunt Abigail invite him up to your house for supper and then give him a bath afterward?" But Betsy, although she had never heard of treating a supper-guest in this way, was sure that it was not possible.
