He stood and wept before the lady. Her heart was sore for the despairing boy. She drew him to a little summer-seat. He entered with her, and sat down, weeping still. She did her best to soothe him.
I would compare her to you, and then where would she be?" "Sometime," Margaret said, "you'll think differently." "Never," answered Gavin, with a violence that ended the conversation. Soon afterwards he set off for the town, and in passing down the garden walk cast a guilty glance at the summer-seat. Something black was lying in one corner of it.
He opened the door and passed out unobserved; it was as if the sounds and shadows that filled the manse were too occupied with their game to mind an interloper. "Is that you?" he said to a bush, for the garden was in semi- darkness. Then the lantern's flash met him, and he saw the Egyptian in the summer-seat. "At last!" she said, reproachfully. "Evidently a lantern is a poor door-bell."
So, in the darkness of the summer-seat, he kissed her, and she might have known that with that kiss the little minister was hers forever.
He stopped irresolutely, for his mother was nodding to him from her window. Then he disappeared into the little arbour. What had caught his eye was a Bible. On the previous day, as he now remembered, he had been called away while studying in the garden, and had left his Bible on the summer-seat, a pencil between its pages. Not often probably had the Egyptian passed a night in such company.
"It is well not to forget that one," he replied. "He is spoken of as courteous but reserved, in that he drinks tea with few though his position is assured. Is not his house that which fronts on a summer-seat domed with red copper?" "It is the same," agreed the other. "Speak on." "What I recall is meagre and destitute of point.
When he turned in the pulpit to Ezra, where he had left the large Bible open in the summer-seat, he found this scrawled across chapter eight: "I will never tell who flung the clod at Captain Halliwell. But why did you fling it? I will never tell that you allowed me to be called Mrs. Dishart before witnesses. But is not this a Scotch marriage? Signed, Babbie the Egyptian."
Notwithstanding the feelings I have just recorded, I began to long for a wider horizon, whence some wind might come and blow upon me, and wake me up, not merely to live, but to know that I lived. One afternoon I left my little summer-seat, where I had been sitting at work, and went through the house, and down the precipice, into my husband's study.
Your last words in Caddam seemed to justify that idea." "I am very sorry to see you," he answered, reproachfully. "Then I will go away at one," she said, stepping out of the summer-seat. "Yes," he replied, "you must go at once." "Then I won't," she said, turning back defiantly.
His departure was accompanied by the sound of laughter, mocking yet more melodious than a carillon of silver gongs hung in a porcelain tower, which seemed to proceed from the summer-seat domed with red copper." "Some omen doubtless lay within the meeting," said the elder Chang. "Had you but revealed the happening fully on your return, capable geomancers might have been consulted.
