"Do you forgive me, Lewis?" she said. "I have nothing to forgive, sister," he told her. "Don't call me that!" she cried, with feeble passion. He looked a little bewildered. "Yee," he said, "I forgive you." "Oh, Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!" she mourned; "this is what I have done!" She wept pitifully.
When lie had spoken these words he commanded Mercury to call all the gods to counsell, and if any of the celestiall powers did faile of appearance he would be condemned in ten thousand pounds: which sentence was such a terrour to all the goddesses, that the high Theatre was replenished, and Jupiter began to speake in this sort: O yee gods, registred in the bookes of the Muses, you all know this young man Cupid whom I have nourished with mine owne hands, whose raging flames of his first youth, I thought best to bridle and restraine.
As he watched, the man noticed with a smile of understanding that she kept rather to the side of the garden toward the house; where the artist, at his easel by the big, north light, could not see her through the small window in the end of the room; and where, hidden by the tall hedge, she would not be noticed from Yee Kee's kitchen.
Yee are called here to know our will and pleasur that is such: first, we take you for our brethren by taking you into our protection, and for to shew you, we, instead of the eagles' tayle, have putt some of our armours, to the end that no ennemy shall approach it to breake the affinitie that we make now with you."
"Is this a graveyard?" Athalia demanded, impetuously. "Yee," he said, smiling; "it's our burial-place; we're Shakers." "But why are there just the stakes without names?" "Why should there be names?" he said, whimsically; "they have new names now." "Where is your community? Can we go and visit it?" "Yee; but we're not much to see," he said; "just men and women, like you. Only we're happy.
It was three days after the incidents just related when an automobile from Fairlands Heights stopped at the home of Aaron King and the novelist. Mrs. Taine, dressed in black and heavily veiled, went, alone, to the house, where Yee Kee appeared in answer to her ring. There was no one at home, the Chinaman said. He did not know where the artist was. He had gone off somewhere with Mr.
'Lo! we have left all and followed thee, said Peter; 'fathers, mothers, wives, children, houses, lands, and even our own lives also. It is a great price to pay, but we buy Heaven with it!" "Yee, we do," said Brother Thomas Scattergood, devoutly. "To him that overcometh shall the great prize be given."
I can't stand it, just now." "All right." said the other, heartily, "I won't." Rising, he put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Come, let's go for a look at the roses, before Yee Kee calls us to dinner." In the garden, the artist's eye caught sight of something white lying in the well-kept path. With an exclamation, he went quickly to pick it up.
"Oh, I haven't time to pry into other people's thoughts," she said, acidly. And, indeed, just then her time was very full. She was enormously useful to the community that second winter; her young power and strength shone out against the growing weariness of the old sisters. "Athalia's capable," Eldress Hannah said, and the other sisters said "Yee," and smiled at one another.
Thrasillus hearing all the matter, and knowing not by what meanes he might end his life, for he thought his sword was not sufficient to revenge so great a crime, at length went to the same Sepulchre, and cryed with a lowd voice, saying: o yee dead spirites whom I have so highly and greatly offended, vouchsafe to receive me, behold I make Sacrifice unto you with my whole body: which said, hee closed the Sepulchre, purposing to famish himselfe, and to finish his life there in sorrow.
