Vick comes out to meet us in a crawling, groveling manner, which owes its birth to the shame caused in her mind by the huge favor which my maid has tied round her little neck. We go into breakfast and feed the women with easy minds; the men, with such appetites as the fear of impending speeches, of horrible shattered commonplaces leaves them.
"Of course she is very striking, Vick. But, you see, she she isn't exactly our kind!" "That is Nan," the young man retorted impatiently. "I never heard you say that sort of thing before. What on earth is 'our kind'? She is beautiful and has talent, a lot of it, all she wants is her chance. And why shouldn't she have it?" Isabelle smiled at his heat, and replied caressingly:
Taking Vick Wolf with me for the afternoon, I looked over the separate herds and found them numbering more than fifteen hundred. They were the same uniform Nueces Valley cattle, and as we lacked only a few over a thousand, the offerings were extremely liberal. Making arrangements with three of the four herds to receive the next day, Vick and I reached our camp on the county line about sunset.
Amos thinks she may have taken it into her head to go up there somewhere to be near him." "It is possible. She was devoted to her brother. I hope nothing worse has happened to her. She is a sweet, lovable girl, and they worshipped her." Later on, as he was standing in front of the postoffice, smoking a cigarette, Vick came up in Alix Crown's automobile.
Why couldn't He have let her die in my arms, with her head upon my breast, where it belongs?" "Don't give up yet," he stammered, confounded by this amazing exhibition of self-control. "There is a chance, yes, there is a chance, Mrs. Vick. Don't give up. Be be brave." She shook her head. "She is dead," came from her stiff lips, and that was all. He laid his arm across her shoulder.
"Yes, but you will want more, now that you have room for them." "Azaleas O azaleas are lovely," said Matilda. "They are showy too; and you want a show, Norton." "So do you, Pink." "Well, I like azaleas," said Matilda. "Do they cost much?" "Not so very. I guess you can have some." "O what a geranium!" Matilda exclaimed. "'Lady James Vick' 'seventy-five cents each' but what a lovely colour, Norton!
And so Sir Roger keeps away. Whether his self-denial costs him much, I cannot say. It never occurs to me at the time that it does. He may think me a very nice little girl, and that I shall be a great comfort to him, but he cannot care much about having any very long conversations with me he that has seen so many lands, and known so many great and clever people, and read so many books. He has always been most undemonstrative to me. At his age, no doubt, he does not care much for the foolish endearments of lovers; so, with an easy conscience, I devote myself, for my short space, to the boys, to Barbara, to Vick, and the jackdaw. Once, indeed just once I have a little talk with him, and afterward I almost wish that I had not had it. We are sitting under a horse-chestnut-tree in the garden a tree that, under the handling of the warm air, is breaking into a thousand tender faces. We did not begin by being tête-
She makes a feint, indeed, of accompanying me half-way to the front gate, then sits down on her little shivering haunches, smirks, and when I call her, looks the other way, affecting not to hear. On my calling more peremptorily, "Vick! Vick!" she tucks her tail well in, and canters back to the house on three legs. So it comes to pass that I set out quite alone.
It was pleasant in the long grass under the apple tree, looking across the orchard of gnarled and stubby trees to the lane. Mrs. Johnston worked and talked, while the little boys with furtive glances pecked at the peas like two birds. "I heard you were coming I did not know just when. It is good to see you back, Vick!"
Quickly withdrawing it, he dropped it into his overcoat pocket, and, after a moment, resumed his progress, making for the carriage gate in the left lower corner of the grounds. He had a sharp eye out for Rosabel Vick. He heard Annie Jordan's high-pitched voice in the road ahead of him and slackened his pace. In due time he limped up the steps of Dowd's Tavern.
