They are less known than Plymouth and Salem, because men of action, rather than men of letters, have sprung from the loins of the South; but there they stand, a beautiful beacon, shining upon the coasts of our early history. Into their church, then, into the shrine where their small lamp still burns, their devout descendant, Mrs. Weguelin St.
"You haven't much time," she said to Charles, who consulted his watch. "Who's coming to see me off?" he inquired. "Where's he going?" I asked Beverly. "She's sending him North," Beverly answered, and then he spoke with his very best simple manner to Mrs. Weguelin St. Michael. "May I not walk home with you after all your kindness?"
Yet, nevertheless, I felt quite certain that, if Hortense, though the Cornerlys' guest, was also the guaranteed fiancee of John Mayrant, the old ladies would come up to the scratch, hate and loathe it as they might, and undoubtedly would: they could be trusted to do the right thing. I told Beverly how glad I was that he would meet Mrs. Weguelin St. Michael.
It was not until they had crossed the street and come up the stone steps near where I stood on High Walk that the little lady also bowed to me; she was Mrs. Weguelin St.
Mrs. Weguelin replied quickly. "That answers very well where hearts are in question." "But," said I, "since phosphates are no longer ?" There was a pause. "It would be a new dilemma," Mrs. Gregory then said slowly, "if she turned out to care for him, after all." When he transgressed, their very value for him turned them bitter against him.
"I should not have permitted myself to say that, but I am glad that it has been said." Mrs. Gregory turned to her companion. "Shall we call to-morrow?" "Don't you feel it must be done?" returned Mrs. Weguelin, and then she addressed me. "Do you know a Mr. Beverly Rodgers?" I gave him a golden recommendation and took my leave of the ladies.
I could not ever say to them a word which might mean, however indirectly, that I thought their beautiful, cherished town no place for a young man to go to seed in; this cut so close to the quick of truth that discourse must keep wide away from it. What, then, could I ask them? As I pondered, Mrs. Weguelin solved it for me by what she was saying to Mrs.
"It is to be said, Maria, that John's irregularities have invariably been conducted with perfect propriety." "Oh," said Mrs. Gregory, "no Mayrant was ever known to be gross!" "But this particular young lady," said Mrs. Weguelin, "would not be estranged by an masculine irregularities and gayeties. Not many." "How about infidelities?" I suggested. "If he should flagrantly lose his heart to another?"
Again that misleading description of Mrs. Weguelin St. Michael's, to which, since my early days in Kings Port, my imagination may be said to have been harnessed, came back into my mind.
"Oh, well! you will hear anything in a boarding-house. Indeed, that would be a great deal too good to be true." "May I ask where Miss Rieppe is all this while?" "The last news was from Palm Beach, where the air was said to be necessary for the General." "But," Mrs. Weguelin repeated, "we have every reason to believe that she is coming here in an automobile."
