And oh, what a day for me was the glorious first of July when with my whole body covered with Orange ribbons, I fiddled Croppies Lie Down, Boyne Water, and the Protestant Boys before the procession which walked round Willie's figure on horseback in College Green, the man and horse all ablaze with Orange colours.
"Not now, not yet," he continued, as Adah's eyes were bent upon that grave, "but by and by, will you do your husband's bidding be my wife?" "I will," and taking Willie's hand Adah put it with hers into the broad, warm palm which clasped them both, as Irving whispered: "Your child, darling, shall be mine, and never need he know that I am not his father." It was arranged that Alice should tell Mrs.
"I suppose so," he murmured. "My brother Willie's been at your house all afternoon," she remarked. He repeated, "I suppose so," but in a tone which combined the vocal tokens of misery and of hopeless animosity. "He just went home," said Jane. "I was 'cross the street from your house, but I guess he didn't see me. He kept lookin' back at your house. Miss Pratt was on the porch." "I suppose so."
At length the floor was boarded; a strong thick door was fitted tight; a winding stair of deal inserted where the stone one had been, and cased in with planks, well pitched on the outside; and now Willie's mother was busy making little muslin curtains for his windows, and a carpet for the middle of the room.
The bed making and her allotment of the upstairs work irked Lilly, even though Willie's stepniece, Georgia, came to help out once a week, and evenings the little house could seem very still and untenanted.
Yet as he darted a glance at the earnest young face bending over the workbench Willie's conscience smote him and he questioned whether he might not be doing his comrade a dire injustice. The thought caused him to flush uncomfortably, and he flushed still redder when Bob suddenly straightened up and met his eye. Both men stood alert, held tensely by the same sound.
"Yes, a great while," and the expression of Sally's face grew graver, as she added, "Perhaps you don't know that I lost little Willie, and then Willie's father died too, and left me all alone.
"And your husband where is he?" This was the hardest question of all, and Adah's distress was visible as she replied, "I will be frank with you. Willie's father left me, and I don't know where he is." An incredulous, provoking smile flitted over Eudora's face as she returned, "We hardly care to have a deserted wife in our family it might be unpleasant."
Here he is, layin' his hand on 'Willie's' shoulder. Bearse, the All-American half-back last year. "Gabe's mouth fell open. 'Not "Bung" Bearse, of Yarvard! he sings out. 'Why! "'Of course, father! purrs his daughter, smilin' and happy. 'I knew him at once. He and I were er slightly acquainted when I was at Highcliffe. "'But but "Bung" Bearse! gasps the old gent. 'Why, you rascal!
Willie's toilet was the most careful he had ever made, and included an application of exceeding fragrant pomade pilfered from his corporal's supply and laid on thickly enough to stop a leak. Finally, having armed himself with his new cane and put seven breath perfumers and a cigarette in his mouth, he approached the stooping Macgregor and declared himself ready for the road.
