And why shouldn't she?" continued Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "She can run a farm, with garden, pigs and poultry thrown in; open a coal mine and " "Nonsense!" exclaimed Nora, "the boys here do it all. Mother furnishes the head work." "Oh, Nora!" protested Kathleen, "you know you manage everything. Isn't that true, boys?" "She's the hull works herself," said Sam. "Ain't she, Joe?"
"No, thank you, Doctor, I am quite right," said Kathleen, quietly picking up the bloody debris and dropping them into a basin which she carried into the other room. "He is all right now," she said to Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, who took the basin from her, exclaiming, "My poor dear, you are awfully white. I am ashamed of myself. Now you must lie down at once." "No, please, I shall go home, I think.
God knows what would have happened to me if I had had a silly fool with me, for the blood was pumping out all over me. But, thank God, I had a woman with a brave heart and clever hands." When the doctor came, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt went in to assist him, but when the ghastly bloody spectacle lay bare to her eyes she found herself grow weak and hurried to the kitchen where the others were.
But in Kathleen, with all her affection and all her sweet simplicity, there was a certain shy reserve that prevented confidences in the matter of her heart affairs. "How far has the German got with her? That is what I would like to know," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt to herself as she hastily prepared for the motor ride. "There's no doubt about him.
"I don't believe I shall ever have such a perfectly happy visit again." "What nonsense, my dear," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "I predict many, many very happy days for you. You have that beautiful gift of bringing your joy with you." Jack accompanied them on their way to the road. "Kathleen and I are hoping that perhaps you may be able to come to our wedding. It will be very soon in a few weeks."
"Gwynne was after me again to take the treasurership," said Waring-Gaunt, "but I am busy with so many things treasurership very hampering demands close attention that sort of thing, eh, what?" "Personally I wish you would take it," said Romayne. "You would be able to protect your own money and the investments of your friends.
But do not let us get into that discussion now. I shall walk with you a little way." Arm in arm she and Mrs. Waring-Gaunt walked down the steep trail, Mr. Romayne following behind, leading the horses. As they walked together, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt talked to the girl of her brother.
Waring-Gaunt, it is Nora. I beg your pardon? Oh, yes, certainly, one of us will be glad to go. No, no, certainly not. I would not have Mr. Waring-Gaunt leave his work for the world. I know, I know, awfully slow for him. We had not heard of the change. It is too bad. Yes, surely one of us will be glad to come. We will fix it up some way. Good-bye."
"Prettier! What the deuce are you talking about?" said Larry indignantly. "Prettier! Like a girl that is! You never think of looks when you see Jane. All you see is just Jane and her big blue eyes and her smile. Prettier! Who wants her prettier?" "Oh, all right, Larry. Don't fuss. She IS plain-looking, you know. But she is such a good sort. I must tell Mrs. Waring-Gaunt."
Waring-Gaunt might get them as speedily as was consistent with safety to their destination, and that supper might not be too long delayed.
