Emily Tweksbury urged, "come up to Maine with me for the summer, you look peaked." Raymond laughed. "How about business?" he said. "Of course," Mrs. Tweksbury replied, "no one appreciates more than I do, Ken, your moral fibre. It's a big thing for you to create a business if for no other reason than to give employment to less fortunate young men; but you have other responsibilities.
There would be you and Uncle David and Joan, and perhaps Clive could wrench himself away, and Mary and Uncle Jed and," a tender pause, "and Ken and me! We could make the Chapel beautiful with flowers from The Gap our flowers and then I could help Ken with Mrs. Tweksbury for you, Aunt Dorrie, will have Joan." Martin blinked his eyes. He never admitted a mistiness to the extent of wiping them.
Tweksbury "knew" all about everything when she folded Doris in her motherly arms. "There is no need of a word, my dear," she said, "and you are dealing with the whole thing superbly. Let me see the children. How fortunate that they are twins and girls! Girls may inherit from the father, but thank God! nature saves them from the developing along his line.
But presently he became quiet, and a rare tenderness overspread his face. He went over to Mrs. Tweksbury and bent to kiss her. "I never knew before, Aunt Emily," he said, "just what a mother meant. I'm sorry, dear.
But Raymond meant to make sure before he accepted defeat. He spurred himself to the test with the name of Emily Tweksbury on his lips. That name seemed to hold all his responsibilities and hopes his long-ago past; the only claim upon the future except And in this Raymond was sincere.

Mrs. Tweksbury was, however, not through with what she had to say. She looked at the big, handsome fellow across the room and he seemed suddenly to become very young and helpless, very much needing guidance, and yet she knew how he would resent any such interference in his life. "What's on your mind, Aunt Emily?"
Shame held Thornton silent for a moment, but life had him at close grip he was beaten unless help were given. "You think they will enjoy the Tweksbury crowd I mean to know the parentage or lack of it of the girl just palmed off on them as a Thornton? I may not be all that could be desired, but such as I am I'm the saving clause." Thornton's coarseness was more and more evident.
But Raymond did not come to the Brier Bush, and so Joan had to conclude that he had not that unnamable emotion which was taking her appetite away, and he was forgetting, perhaps, all about that line that ran in the palms of both of them! As a matter of fact, Raymond was trying very diligently to do just that thing. He worked hard and paid extra attention to Mrs. Tweksbury. "My boy!"
Spiritually she fell in line with Doris, and where Mrs. Tweksbury led it were wiser and easier to follow than to blaze new trails. The second event that marked a new epoch was the coming of George Thornton to claim his own. "And when it fails, fight as we will, we die."
