Anyway, I've headed off those company men, and if it's necessary I can go through to the railroad and get hold of Weston by the wires." Devine admitted that this might be advisable, and Saunders, who was a man of action, took the back trail in the next half-hour.
That was what Weston would give her, and I wished her joy. True, he loved the girl. True, he offered her just what I did, and with it he gave those fleeting joys that wealth brings. She should be happy just as much so as if she had made herself a fellow-prisoner with me here in the little valley. For what had I to offer her?
Weston joined the party, however, and when the baby was fetched, there was no longer a want of subject or animation or of courage and opportunity for Frank Churchill to draw near her and say, "I have to thank you, Miss Woodhouse, for a very kind forgiving message in one of Mrs. Weston's letters. I hope time has not made you less willing to pardon. I hope you do not retract what you then said."

It was only slightly injured; must have kicked the whatzit and got away, but the whatzit wasn't too badly hurt, because a few hours later, it hit that turkey-flock on the Rhymer farm.
A rather tired-looking, stylishly gowned woman immediately asked if there were comfortable accommodations for herself and her daughter. Mrs. Adams assured her that there were. "We had an accident," continued the woman. "I am Mrs. Weston. This is my daughter." "You are driving overland?" "We were. We have had a terrible time.
