Once Lonely Farm was closed to the girl, other houses in the serenely moral In-Place would inevitably slam their doors. The cunning of the half-breed was diabolic in its sureness. Anton Farwell could not assume responsibility for Priscilla if all Kenmore turned its back on her, and in that hour the girl would, of course, come running or crawling never dancing to him, Jerry-Jo!
Didn't I wait long enough for you? Where are the others?" This seemed to clarify and steady the situation and Priscilla gave a slight laugh: "To be sure. You did not know. They they were away. The storm came up suddenly. I had to wait. You are wet through and through, Jerry-Jo. It's good we have such a fire. You'll be comfortable in a moment. I'm glad you came; I was getting afraid."
"But I cannot understand," she often said to Jerry-Jo. "I'd like to write to him. Do you think you could find out for me where he is? That he should even remember me! I would not have him think me so ungrateful as I must seem." She and Jerry-Jo were in the path leading to Lonely Farm from Kenmore as she spoke, and suddenly something the young fellow said brought her to a sharp standstill. "Oh!
Many things threatened such a friendship Nathaniel, Jerry-Jo, and the girl herself for Priscilla, during the first years of Nathaniel's relaxed severity, was like a bee sipping every flower, and Farwell was not at all confident that anything he had to give would hold even her passing interest for long.
That time your father drove you home." For a full moment Priscilla stared helplessly, then she began to see light. "Do you mean," she gasped, "that he who made me dance was the boy of the Hill Place?" "As if you did not know it!" Jerry-Jo grunted.
And then Jerry-Jo put his burden down, and, returning to the boat, drew from under the seat a book in a clean separate wrapper and held it out toward her. "Oh!" The hands were as eager as of old. "What will you give for it?" A deep red mounted to the young fellow's cheeks. "Anything, Jerry-Jo." "A kiss?" "Yes" doubtfully; "yes."
The one who will befriend you need know no more than I tell him; others must take you on faith. At any moment your father, or some one like Jerry-Jo, might hound you unless you live behind a shield. You understand?" He did not plead for his own safety, and he was, at that moment, humanly thinking of hers alone. "If you get the worst of it, come back; but leave the gate open only for yourself."
She's a sunny creature and mighty taking in her ways. I wish her no ill, and I hate to think of Jerry-Jo shadowing her life till she forgets to dance and sing. For my part, I wish the master were twenty-five years younger and could play for the lass to dance to the end of their days." "And a poor outlook for me!" grumbled Jean humorously.
I will not ask much of her, only the guiding hand to a safe place where I can live! Oh! can you understand how all my life I have been smothered and stifled? I often wonder what sort I will be out there! I'm willing to suffer while I learn, but Jerry-Jo" and here the excited voice paused "I have a strange feeling of myself!
She smelled the odour of his wet clothing, felt his breath, and she shrank back a step. "This this body, Jerry-Jo McAlpin," she whispered, "is all you can touch. That, I will kill to-morrow the next day it does not matter. But the soul of me shall haunt you while you live. Night and day it shall torment and clutch you until it brings your sinful spirit to to God!"
