It's the men as God made things for, and us-all has to fend them off men and God are agin us women!" "No, no! Let me free. I was so happy until Oh! Miss Lois Ann, you shall not take my happiness away." "Yo' came to the right place, yo' po' lil' chile." The eyes had seen all they needed to see and the hand let drop the pretty, quivering face.
Again the old woman's eyes were lifted and she peered into the depths of the fire. "I seed Zalie las' night! She come with hit." "With what?" Sister Angela had that peculiar pricking sensation of the skin caused by tense nerves. "With hit. Her young-un! That's what larnin' means to us-all. Hit! After that, nothin' counts one way or 'other. Zalie spoke in her vision clear like she was in the flesh.
She she had ter go or see Lawson kill himself; so she went but asked my pardon fo' causing the deep trouble. Lawson married her at the first stopping place over the ridge. He ain't worthy o' my lil' Nella-Rose but us-all has got to make the best o' it. Come spring she'll be back, and then I'll forgive her my lil' Nella-Rose!"
She don made me understand that I mus' give hit a chance; break the curse there is only one way!" "What way, Becky?" Angela was whispering as if she and the old woman near her were conspiring together. "Hit mus' go where no one knows no one ever can know. It's the knowin' that damns us-all. Folks knowin' an' expectin' an' helpin' the curse. Hit's got to start fresh an' no one knowin'."
"You see when I gave the letter to Bill Trim, I I told him I had to that it was Miss Lois Ann's, so he didn't think it mattered to me; but when he was dying he was hurt on the big road they are making in the hills he was brought to us-all, and Miss Lois Ann and I took care of him, and he grew right sorry for hating her and not telling about the letter and then he spoke it out!" "I see. I see.
"It was my grandfather, he was the friend of Lansing Hertford. They said he betrayed his friend but they-all lied. First it was a whisper, then in your grandfather's time they-all spoke louder. The lie took away the faith of men from us-all and that ended it! The lie slinks low till some Morley raises his head and then it springs up and strikes him down." "It will not strike me down!"
She 'lows that the Home-school will jes' make up to us-all for what's been denied." Mrs. Moore moaned softly and shook her head. "It don't sound earthly!" she muttered.
I have much to learn; but I understand a mighty lot now. It came to me while I waited, for you to come back from her! My soul would never be clean again, Lans, if I forgot the little child hers and yours! God will be very kind to us-all, dear, if we do right. It's mighty puzzling but it will come straight. You once loved her?" "Yes, Cynthia yes!" "And you never loved me in that way, dear?"
But when yo' are a man, son, you'll think kinder o' me than what yo' do to-day; a man's a man, and a lonely man is the worst of all and so" Martin's grizzly head was pressed against Sandy's "and so Mary came! She didn't ask much; she only wanted to live along with us-all in the cabin, but " The dreary years seemed to spread before both man and boy in the silence which followed.
Mary stared blankly she was further back than Ridge House. "I've been saving," she went slowly on, "all the years. I reckon I have most enough to buy the cabin where us-all was born."
