I didn't know whether mother'd be happy here in Wassumsic after being so busy in New York but it was the only way I could stop her from working her head off and I'd decided my shoulders were broad enough to support my family. And you've done a lot for Beryl, too. I can see it." "Oh, don't!" cried Robin. As if she could let him thank her for Mother Lynch as if the debt were not on her side.
Her business at an end, Madame expressed embarrassment at her inhospitality in denying Mr. Allendyce his cup of tea. Would he not stay and dine with her? Mr. Allendyce did not in the least desire to dine alone with his client but the Wassumsic Inn was an uninviting place and New York was a three hours' ride away.
Their chatter came back then to Wassumsic and the new hospital and the library and the new teachers, who were Smith College graduates, and Sophie Mack who had started a Girl Scout troop, and the new athletic field at the House of Laughter. "Bless me, it's forgetting the supper I am, and Dale coming!" cried Mother Moira, springing to quick life.
Her hands in her lap were clenched very tight and her lips were pressed in a straight, thin, resolute line. But as they kept on past Forty-second street and headed toward Central Park West the lawyer explained that he was taking her to his own home for the night. "My sister will make you quite comfortable. Tomorrow we will go out to Wassumsic."
Miss Effie began with shoes and finished with hats, with little abbreviations in brackets to include caps and scarfs and all sorts of things. "It is very cold in Wassumsic," she explained, "and you will live a great deal out of doors. It is very lovely," she added, making a round period after "sweater." And there was another list which included a wrist watch and a writing set.
"Would they if they took that you'd go there " She tried desperately to voice the fear that had shaped in her heart; Grangers taking this funny wooden thing that Mr. Kraus said was worth so much, and Dale going away from Wassumsic, and Dale's mother and Beryl. "You just bet I would," and Dale laughed. "But don't worry, we won't be going for a while."
The old lady said the words slowly. "My real name is Gordon Forsyth, but I've always been called Red-Robin. I'm living at Gray Manor now over in Wassumsic. My father he's not one of the rich Forsyths, you see is an artist and he's travelling with Mr. Tony Earle, who writes, you know. I wish you could come to the Manor."
A dignity in the old housekeeper's surrender touched Cornelius Allendyce. He patted her shoulder and told her not to worry about the letter; to be sure it had spoiled a rather nice golf match but he ought to have run up to Wassumsic long before. "The little girl I found isn't such a bad Forsyth, after all?" he could not resist asking her, however.
But Budge was certain Robin was desperately ill; under her direction Harkness carried her to Madame's own room while Mrs. Budge followed with blankets and a hot water bottle. At noon the nurse arrived from New York, and that evening the word spread to every corner of Wassumsic that little Miss Forsyth had the "sickness."
Don't worry about the Mills let Norris do that. I'll run up to Wassumsic very soon and answer as many questions as you may wish to ask. Until then, I am Devotedly yours, CORNELIUS ALLENDYCE." "Beryl read this! I may use that old cottage. I believe my guardian'll do everything I ask when he understands. He's a dear!" Beryl came slowly down from her "clouds." "Robin listen to this vibrato!"
