Cap'n Ira and Prudence did not see Sheila again that evening, for she slipped in by the kitchen door after they had gone into the sitting room and went up to her own chamber. They heard her mount the stairs and marked the tread of her light feet overhead. The girl was not thinking of the old people just then. Their need entered into her determination to remain if she could.
About midnight half a dozen men who did not care for dancing came over from the Club to play 'Waits, and that was a surprise the stewards had arranged before any one knew what had happened, the band stopped, and hidden voices broke into 'Good King Wenceslaus, and William in the gallery hummed and beat time with her foot: Mark my footsteps well, my page, Tread thou in them boldly, Thou shalt feel the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly!
She thought of the Saviour of the world, and the sacrifices he had made for man; then prayed for grace to tread the thorny path of self-immolation, if such action should be required of her. She dared not rise to kneel and pray, the little bedroom was too crowded for privacy; and although she often yearned for a room, however small, to have for her sole use, this was not possible.
To the end of his life Cecil never forgot the long-drawn agony of that night. At length their strained hearing caught the quick tread of horses' hoofs on the turf without. "The doctor, the doctor!" came simultaneously from the lips of Cecil and the watchers. The doctor, there was hope in the very name. How eagerly they watched his face as he bent over the patient!
Ja, he was a right student; but he is changed now the much reading, lieber Blech, the much reading." And the old fellow looked after Claudius as he disappeared into the dark doorway. The Doctor mounted his three flights with even tread, and, turning up his light, proceeded leisurely to eat his twisted rolls and sausages.
Standing upon the path which armies had once trodden, and which armies were still destined to tread, and looking towards the solitary lake, you heard, at first, no sound but the regular dripping of the rain-drops from rock to rock; you saw no prospect but the motionless waters at your feet, and the dusky crags which shadowed them from above.
Nilus had told her this. He who hoped to be forgiven by his neighbor must also be ready to forgive. The great Augustine, even, had been no model of virtue in his youth and yet he had become a shining light in the Church; and now the son of the Mukaukas would tread in his father's footsteps. He was a handsome, engaging man, who would be the joy of their hearts yet, they might be very sure.
She had a quick, light tread, pleasant to listen to, and her rare and lovely laughter was always a delicious surprise, as if one heard an unexpected chime of little bells. Her housewifely ways, her pretty anxiety about spending money, amused him tenderly. When she could perform some small service for him, she hummed little hymns to the Virgin.
"It is clearly the tread of a shoe. It is remarkably broad; a splay-foot, one would say. Curious, because, so far as one can trace any footmark in this mud-stained corner, one would say it was a more shapely sole. However, they are certainly very indistinct. What's this under the side table?" "Mr. Douglas's dumb-bells," said Ames. "Dumb-bell there's only one. Where's the other?"
At last, I hope and believe, we are beginning to gain the confidence of the Filipino peoples. By their counsel and experience, rather than by our own, we shall learn how best to serve them and how soon it will be possible and wise to withdraw our supervision. Let us once find the path and set out with firm and confident tread upon it and we shall not wander from it or linger upon it.
