Then again the vision of her baby face, her yellow-hair I scratched his wrist twice with the arrow-tip. A single drop of red blood oozed up; he stirred. I turned the lamp down and slipped out of the room out of the house. I dream nightly of the horrors of the white man's hell. Why did they teach me of it, only to fling me into it?
Are you leaving your dead in the bracken then?" There were distant sounds on the moor; nothing stirred nearer. "Are you coming back?" he shouted, "or must I go after you?" Suddenly in the night their motor roared. At the same moment, far across the lake, he saw the headlights of other motors glide over Isla Bridge like low-flying stars. "Yellow-hair!" There was no sound behind him. He turned.
'Twas across Princess Street across acres of Madonna lilies in that lovely foreland behind which the Rock lifted skyward with Edinburgh Castle atop made out of grey silver slag! It was a brave sight, Yellow-hair. I never loved America more than at that moment when, in my heart, I married her to Scotland." "Kay, you're a poet!" she exclaimed. "We all are here, Yellow-hair.
"I fancy instructions will come before long," he remarked, casting a leaderless line out across the grass. After a moment he glanced rather gravely at her where she stood with hands linked behind her, watching the graceful loops which his line was making in the air. "You're not worried, are you, Yellow-hair?" "About the Boche?" "I meant that." "No, Kay, I'm not uneasy."
But he had long believed that, if his pigeons failed him at the crisis, no report would ever be delivered to those who sent him here, either concerning his discoveries or his fate and the fate of the girl who lay asleep beside him. An hour later she awoke. He was still bent over his map, and she presently extended one arm and let her hand rest on his knee. "Do you feel better, Yellow-hair?" "Yes.
There came another sound, too a thunderous flapping and thrashing in the tree-top, the furious battering, falling tumult of broken branches and blindly beating wings, drumming convulsively in descent. Then came a thud; a feathery tattoo on the ground; silence in the woods. "And so you shall not go hungry, Yellow-hair," said McKay with his nice smile.
"Men might think so." He smiled: "Quite right, Yellow-hair; woman only is competent to size up woman. The trouble is that no man really believes this." "Don't you?" "I don't know. Tell me, what shall we do after luncheon?" "Oh, the moors please, Kay!" "What!" he exclaimed laughingly; "you're already a victim to Glenark moors!"
He shrugged: "I'd be very glad to pay the price only they can't be trusted. They can't be trusted, Yellow-hair." Somebody shouted from the impenetrable shadows: "Come out of that now, McKay! If you don't we'll go in and cut her throat before we do for you!" He remained silent, quite motionless, watching the darkness.
"Yes. ... With wh whom are " But her breath failed her. "With you. ... You knew it, Yellow-hair. ... Does it interest you to know it?" "Yes." But the exhilaration of the moment was interfering with her breath again and she only stood there with the flushed and audacious little smile stamped on her lips forcing her eyes to meet his curious, troubled, intent gaze. "You did know it?" he repeated.
"Nevertheless, and after all I said and did to the contrary. ... I don't think any woman remains entirely displeased when a man tells her he is in love with her. If he does love her he ought to tell her, I think. It always means that much tribute to her power. ... And none is indifferent to power, Yellow-hair." "No. ... I am not indifferent. I like what you said to me.
