Cap'n Lem took her bag while she laughingly received their surprised welcome, and she threw her arms around Thinkright's neck and kissed him. Neither of the three observed Sylvia, who followed at a distance until they went inside and the house door closed upon them. Pausing, to wonder and speculate, the chill of the evening made the girl shiver. The door had shut her out.
We shouldn't think of allowing her to leave, and," very confidentially, "I don't know whether you ever heard of the romance of Thinkright's life?" Edna shook her head. Miss Martha nodded hers impressively. "Yes. Sylvia's mother. Mh'm. There's something quite touching about this outcome. He seems to consider that he has almost adopted Sylvia, that she belongs to him."
I know that's his tack." Sylvia was breathing fast from her exertions. "Yes," she nodded. "I've never had much practice in loving people." "No? That's the Trent in you." She lifted her eyes in surprise at the abrupt reply. He nodded. "You said Thinkright's your cousin, then so is Judge Trent." "Uncle," returned Sylvia briefly. "Ah. One of the detested."
From beneath its shade was no view of the sea, but one could lie there and listen to the rhythmic murmur of the waves answering the strains of an Æolian harp which Thinkright's clever hands had fashioned and placed in the shadow of the upper branches. There Sylvia took the books which her cousin gave her to study, and read and study she did, despite the temptation to day-dreaming.
Of course we can't be sure that Sylvia will get it, though and there's all Thinkright's traveling expenses." The speaker's wet eyes looked appealing. "Dunham's going to tell us where Sylvia is," returned the judge quietly. He paused, and Martha looked bewildered by this persistence. She turned toward John questioningly. "I can't," replied Dunham again. Judge Trent shrugged his shabby shoulders.
Excuse me, Martha, but we all knew Sam; and after our rebuff she was in a fit state to swallow Thinkright's cheerful theories whole. I don't claim much knowledge of what I can't see or touch, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Power that Is let us sidetrack ourselves on purpose to put Sylvia in Thinkright's care.
"What delicious milk!" said the girl, as she set down her empty glass; "and this cream would make city people open their eyes." "It don't seem to me it's quite as rich as common," returned Mrs. Lem. "We often have it so thick it has to be dilated with water." Sylvia met Thinkright's eyes and laughed. "That is a frequent necessity in the city," she said. "I wish it weren't." "Oh, yes," Mrs.
She had just alighted from the train, and was in Thinkright's arms as she said it. "I had set my heart on just such a drive with you as we had the first time I came." "This will be far better than that was, Sylvia." He held her off at arm's length, and viewed her deliberately. "We had the sunshine outside that day. This time it's inside."
"Only that it will look so sad and unapproachable even when the sun shines like this; as if its feelings had been hurt and it could never pardon or forget." The judge continued to gaze. He was being penetrated by a suspicion. This girl knew Minty Foster. Supposing But he had called on Miss Derwent, and she had verified Thinkright's description.
"Do you mean to say that everybody would get up here if it weren't for me?" asked Sylvia disconcerted. "Wall, Thinkright's allers done his chores afore he sits down with yer; but Lucil, she's kind o' cawtage folks-y in her feelin's. When my woman was alive I allers did git my own breakfast anyway, and let her lay as long as she wanted, and so I do Lucil.
