But it's clear out of the way for children to have such a deep feelin' for each other it scares me. And while I don't think Zueline feels exactly the same way, it's not the thing for a girl of twelve to be so much taken up with a little boy; nor for a little boy to be so completely absorbed in a little girl.
"Don't row so fast," he'd say "The river's gettin' swifter. Take the horses from that engine. I'm goin' to see Tom Sawyer I can fly to him fly fly fly Zueline it's you, is it?" Then he kind of woke up and says: "Is Zueline here?" And they said, "No, but she was comin';" but she wasn't; she was out of town, and probably wouldn't have come anyway.
And he talked about sin and what suffering does for people, how it makes 'em humble before God, and respectful and at last saves 'em if they will heed the lessons and turn to God. Everybody cried when the last song was sung, especially the children, who sobbed out loud, and Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller and the Miller children and I looked over at Zueline and her ma. Her ma was just lookin' down.
"Well, of course all this can't be," says I, "for you're not the Raineys' son; they're both dead anyway; and Temple Scott will probably be hanged, and no one will kill you you'll grow up and get married not to Zueline " "No," says Mitch, "never to her. For I ain't suspicious of her I'm just done with her, just like Hamlet was done with Ophelia.
So I've come over to tell you that we must work together to separate 'em; and to begin with, I'm goin' to take Zueline away for a visit, and that will help to break it, and by the time she gets back, it will be over or nearly so; and if it ain't, we must work together to keep them away from each other.
And anyway, if it don't, we must be up and doin' and get the treasure and then square off for somethin' else. And if I get it and all goes well, maybe Zueline and me will marry and be happy here. That's the way I want it." It must have been two hours before we got to the edge of the wood where Joe Gordon lived.
It was just the same as if you said to a feller: 'you have just a minute to live. I lay there and heard 'em talk about church and a lot of other things, and then I heard Mrs. Hasson say she had to go, and I heard her walk out, and down the walk, and I heard the gate click. She was gone. The thing was done. I had lost Zueline. And I'll never get over it.
And that scared Mrs. Miller, and she said, "Keep away from him, Mitchie, he's gone crazy over religion and he'll kill you." "It's a good day," said Mitch, "Skeet loses his treasure, and my dog's killed it's a good day." Then Zueline took Mitch's hand and said, "Never mind, my pa's goin' to get me an Ayrdale and I'll make him get two, one for you."
Zueline can't come here any more; and Mitchie mustn't come to our house, and they mustn't go to parties where they meet. So ma said she thought so too." Here Mitch grew still and he began to shake again, and I just lay there and looked at the stars and waited.
Somebody had run a great knife like a scythe or a corn-cutter through her. And I never see a boy cry like Mitch did. He ran back and told Zueline and she and all the children came out and most of us cried. Then Mr. Miller came out, and Mrs. Miller, and Mr. Miller said he believed Doc Lyon had done it that he had seen him in the alley in the afternoon. And Mitch said he'd kill Doc Lyon.
