Willy's words came more slowly as he continued: "And it was wrong to suppose that whether Ralph were given up or not they would leave us in this place, but it was natural that you should think it a good thing to save this shelter." "I was thinking of your mother, Willy," said Rotha, with her eyes on the ground. "My mother true."
There was a general laugh at Hugh's confusion; but Hugh had carried an order across a field under a hot fire, and had brought a regiment up in the nick of time, riding by its colonel's side in a charge which had changed the issue of the fight, and had a sabre wound in the arm to show for it. He could therefore afford to pass over such an accusation with a little tweak of Willy's ear.
"I'll not forget good-night." Then he pulled up and groaned, for Willy's insistence had frustrated his design: Kellogg had suddenly become alive to his attitude and hailed him over the heads of Long and Miller. "Nat, I say! Where the devil are you going?" "Over to the hotel," said Duncan. "The deuce you are! What hotel?" "The one I'm stopping at." "Not on your life.
Ralph had said it would be well for her to become Willy's wife, and she had promised him never to leave the Moss while his mother lived. She would do as he had said. Willy had asked her for a sign, and she must give hint, one a sign that she was willing to say "Yes" if he spoke again to-day as he had spoken yesterday. Having once settled this point, her spirits experienced a complete elevation.
But he somehow did not feel that Willy's chances were any safer than his own. A car arrived at one o'clock bringing Cicely, much wrapped up in fur coat and motor-veils. She came impetuously into the sitting-room, and seemed to fill it. It took some time to peel her and reduce her to the size of an ordinary mortal.
"Everything except that organdie and a couple of nightgowns." There was no quiver in Miss Willy's face, for from constant consideration of the poorhouse and the cemetery, she had come to regard the other problems of life, if not with indifference, at least with something approaching a mild contempt.
"I'll soon be able to look after you a bit, mother," she said from the doorway. "How's the pain down your arm?" "Bring me the mucilage, Edie," requested Mrs. Boyd. She was propped up in bed and surrounded by newspapers. "I've found Willy's name again. I've got fourteen now. Where's the scissors?" Eternity was such a long time. Did she know?
Oliver has been so nice to mother that I believe she would make a bonfire of her furniture if he asked her to do it." "Is he really trying to unsettle Miss Willy's mind?" questioned the teacher anxiously. "How on earth could she go out sewing by the day if she didn't have her religious convictions?"
Such a desire led me to investigate the recollections of some of our "oldest inhabitants." Willy Paterson, I well knew, was to be trusted for accurate memories of a certain class of happenings; but for more minute details of events the feminine mind is the more reliable. So I determined to start with Willy's wife, Bell.
The next morning, when Willy's mother opened her eyes, she saw Willy sitting up in his crib, and looking at her steadfastly. As soon as he saw that she was awake, he exclaimed, "Mamma, I can't say it; and you know I can't say it. You're a naughty mamma, and you don't love me." Her heart sank within her; but she patiently went again and again over yesterday's ground. Willy cried.
