"Tave, I'm going; don't say another word against it; and you must take me down. She isn't the only one who has loved money till it blinded them to duty I can't throw stones and after all she's a woman; I am going to ask her to help with the money that is rightfully my boy's and if she gives it, I will take your twenty thousand to make up the amount." She pressed the package into his hand.
He's over in the coach house this very minute, and Tave was going to take him home to-night. Just think! That seven-year-old dog has to be carried home, old as he is!" "If it's come to that, I'll take him home under my arm to-night that is, if he won't follow; I'll try that first." "But you're not going to punish him! and simply because he likes me. That wouldn't be fair!"
Her thoughts were busy with conjecture. Octavius recrossing the terrace called out to her: "You going up to Mrs. Caukins' later on this afternoon?" "Yes; Mrs. Champney said she didn't need me." "I'll take you up." "Thank you, Tave, not to-day. I'm going to row up as far as the upper shed. I promised the twins to meet them there; they want to see the new travelling crane at work.
"Oh, haven't I? Look here, Tave, now no more nonsense; Romanzo taught me how two years ago but we both took care you shouldn't know anything about it. Give me that pail." This demand was peremptory. Evidently Octavius was weakening, for Champney heard again the rattle of the pails and the stool; then a swish of starched petticoat and a cooing "There, there, Bess."
The Colonel's cigar dropped from his shaking hand; his face was ashen. Emlie and Wiggins stared at each other as if they had taken leave of their senses. Joel Quimber leaned forward, his hands folded on the head of his cane, and spoke to Octavius who sat rigid on his chair: "What'd he say, Tave? Champ to home?" But Octavius Buzzby was beyond the power of speech.
They began to suspect yo' from the first! They suspected yo' when yo' never went anywhere, but stuck close to the fahm and me. That's why I wanted yo' to show yourself among the girls; they wouldn't have minded yo' flirting with them with the chance of yo' breaking yo' heart over Tave Reed or Lympy Morris!
Her short teaching experience had shown her that the only way to gain children's confidence is not to display too great a curiosity in regard to their comings and goings, their doings and undoings. "Tave and I didn't see you anywhere when we drove up." The twins looked at each other and screwed their lips into a violently repressive contortion. "We've been over to the sheepfolds with 'Lias."
We'll go up afterwards to The Gore together." "It's pretty hot, but I guess you're all three seasoned by this time." "Through and through, Tave; and I'm not coming home till after supper it's lovely then there's Mrs. Champney coming!" She heard her step in the upper hall and ran upstairs to assist her in coming down. "Will you go out on the terrace now?" she asked her on entering the library.
It's been my awful pride that kept me from going sooner and oh, Tave, Tave, I tried to make my boy promise never to ask her for money! I've been hoping all along she would offer " "Offer! Almeda Champney offer to help any one with her money that was Louis Champney's!" "But she has enough of her own, Tave; the money that was my boy's grandfather's."
"You needn't believe all you hear, Joel, but you can believe me when I tell you there'll be no going on the stage for Aileen not if I know it, or Father Honoré either." He spoke so emphatically that his brother Augustus looked at him in surprise. "What's up, Tave?" he inquired. "I mean Aileen's got a level head and isn't going to leave just as things are beginning to get interesting.
