"Trevoor said to her he told me this himself 'Why did you not whistle for me, Norice? A word would have brought me from Europe. 'No one could help me, no one at all, she answered. Then Trevoor said, 'I know who did it, for he has robbed me too. She sank in a heap on the floor. 'I could have borne it and anything for him, if he hadn't divorced me, she said.
He had hid the necklace where he thought it would be safe, but when it was found, he let the wife take the blame a little innocent thing. People were sorry for them both. She was sent to jail. Her father was away in the Rocky Mountains, and he did not hear; Trevoor was in Europe. The husband got a divorce, and was gone.
I don't believe that Trevoor or Malachi ever knew how sweet was the smell of the fresh sawdust till she held it to their noses; and it was she that had the saws all sizes start one after the other, making so strange a tune. She made up a little song about fairies and others to sing to that tune.
"When Trevoor, the owner, come one day, and saw her, he swore, and was going to sack Malachi, but the child that little Norice leaned over the basket, and offered him an apple. He looked for a minute, then he reached up, took the apple, turned round, and went out of the mill without a word so.
Norice was in jail for over a year, and then she was set free, for her health went bad, and her mind was going, they thought. She did not know till she come out that she was divorced. Then she nearly died. But then Trevoor come." Freddy Tarlton's hands were cold with excitement, and his fingers trembled so he could hardly light a cigar. "Go on, go on, Pierre," he said huskily.

Years went on. Now she took care of the house of Malachi. She wore the whistle that Trevoor gave her. He kept saying to her still, 'If ever you need me, little Norice, blow it, and I will come. He was droll, that M'sieu' Trevoor, at times. Well, she did not blow, but still he used to come every year, and always brought her something.
