I wandered about with Wynnie on the sands, picking up amongst other things strange creatures in thin shells ending in vegetable-like tufts, if I remember rightly.
Neither spoke aloud for some minutes, but we spoke in our hearts to God, talking to him about Wynnie. Then we rose together, and walked homeward, still in silence. But my heart and hand clung to my wife as to the angel whom God had sent to deliver me out of the prison of my faithlessness. And as we went, lo! the sky was glorious again.
"What do the people do that don't believe in God?" said Ethelwyn. The same moment Wynnie, who had seen us pass the window, opened the door of the bark-house for us, and we passed into Connie's chamber and found her lying in the moonlight, gazing at the same heavens as her father and mother had been revelling in. The next day was very lovely.
I never got an answer ready for anything lest one of my children should ask me. But it is not surprising either that children should be puzzled about the things that have puzzled their father, or that by the time they are able to put the questions, he should have found out some sort of an answer to most of them. Go on with your catechism, Wynnie. Now for your puzzle!"
Now, I had not been comfortable about Wynnie for some time, and especially during our journey, and still more especially during the last part of our journey. There was something amiss with her. She seemed constantly more or less dejected, as if she had something to think about that was too much for her, although, to tell the truth, I really believe now that she had not quite enough to think about.
But I am afraid the work of God he is chiefly studying at present is our Wynnie." "Well, is she not a worthy object of his study?" returned Ethelwyn, looking up in my face with an arch expression. "Doubtless again, Ethel; but I hope she is not studying him quite so much in her turn. I have seen her eyes following him about." My wife made no answer for a moment. Then she said,
Wynnie summoned the parish with the hundredth psalm pealed from aloft, dropping from the airy regions of the tower on village and hamlet and cottage, calling aloud for who could dissociate the words from the music, though the words are in the Scotch psalms? written none the less by an Englishman, however English wits may amuse themselves with laughing at their quaintness calling aloud,
I am well aware that I have not told them the fate, as some of them would call it, of either of my daughters. This I cannot develop now, even as far as it is known to me; but, if it is any satisfaction to them to know this much and it will be all that some of them mean by fate, I fear I may as well tell them now that Wynnie has been Mrs.
I told Ethelwyn that Percivale and Joe were on board the little schooner, which was holding on by her anchor, that Wynnie was in terror about Percivale, that I had found her lying on the wet grass, and that she must get her into a warm bath and to bed. We went together to her room. She was standing in the middle of the floor, with her hands pressed against her temples.
"Miss Walton will remember I think she was making a drawing of the rock at the same time I was how the seagulls, or some such birds only two or three of them kept flitting about the top of it?" "I remember quite well," answered Wynnie, with a look of appeal to me. "Yes," I interposed; "my daughter, in describing what she had been attempting to draw, spoke especially of the birds over the rock.
