Ferguson looked sharply at Miss Radford, who was suddenly bending over the prostrate man, her head on his breast. She arose after a little, tears starting to her eyes. "He has gone," she said slowly.
Flint stared at the mountain with unseeing eyes. "Father," said Victoria, "don't you think you ought to stay up here at least a week, and rest? I think so." "No," he said, "no. There's a directors' meeting of a trust company to-morrow which I have to attend. I'm not tired." Victoria shook her head, smiling at him with serious eyes. "I don't believe you know when you are tired," she declared.
Again he looked at her, huddled like a bird that is shot and dying, whose poor breast you see panting as the air is taken from it, whose poor eyes look at you who have shot it, with a slow, soft, unseeing look, taking farewell of all that is good of the sun, and the air, and its mate.

Once only had she seen the lids fall slowly downward, to rise again over the unseeing eyes. "He knows he air a-goin' to church," she muttered lovingly. "I wonder if that air why he air so good....
