Hazel visited with the three of them in the hotel parlor for a matter of two hours, went to luncheon with them, and at luncheon Loraine Marsh brought up the subject of her coming home to Granville with them. The Bush incident was discussed and dismissed. On the question of returning, Hazel was noncommittal. The idea appealed strongly to her. Granville was home. She had grown up there.
Boarding-schools and roommates serve one great purpose they rub off the jagged edges of one's manners." She bent and kissed the girl. "Helen Loraine, you are the dearest girl I know. I am so glad I have you for a roommate. We have never quarreled and I hope never will." "No, we never will," said Helen. She went back to her work.
Jane Cotton came up the kitchen path one day when all but Loraine were sitting on the doorsteps Loraine had strolled nonchalantly down the street as her afternoon habit was. "Well, I've found out!" announced Jane Cotton. She was beaming; her sallow face was oddly cleared and lighted her lips trembled with eagerness to deliver her news. "I've found out! Where's the rest o' you?"
Having no cause to conceal the object of their journey, Loraine explained that he and his companions were bound for Fort Edmonton, and were pushing on as fast as they could travel, without the risk of knocking up their horses. "I wish that you were directing your course rather to Fort Duncan, for I suspect that Captain Mackintosh and his small garrison are greatly in want of assistance.
"Not he; he would not have exposed himself in that fashion," said the old man. "Then my eyes must have deceived me, after all," said Loraine. "I'm sure Mr Burnett, the leader of our party, will welcome you to the camp; but he is asleep at present, and I should be sorry to disturb him unnecessarily. I will, however, call up one of the men to get ready some supper for you and your attendant."
"Go on, all of you; I'll catch up," Billy said, as they stood on the steps with the door locked behind them. "When you get out of sight I'm going to kiss the house good-by!" "T.O. had better stay behind with you, to kiss the pump!" Loraine said. "Or we'll all stay I guess we can all find something to kiss." "Did anybody think to take down the Wicked Compact?" demanded Laura Ann suddenly.
There was no time to be lost, as winter was approaching, and most of the men who had arrived under Dan Maloney and Dr McCrab, had to return to Fort Edmonton. Sybil and Effie had at first kept up their spirits, but they were growing anxious at the non-appearance of Loraine and Keith.
Such a Richard, the most imaginative imaginer could never have dreamed of! He played the part as though the Duke of Gloucester were an Ibsen gentleman, battling with a dark green matinée. Mr. Loraine came from "Nancy Stair" to "The Lady Shore," and was Edward IV. It would be interesting to know which "heroine" he really preferred. The little princes in the tower seemed to deserve their fate.
Time and again he had been arrested for exceeding the speed limit in taxicabs and in a car of his own, often in the past with Loraine Keith, but lately alone. It was toward the close of the afternoon that Carton called up hurriedly. As Kennedy hung up the receiver, I read on his face that something had gone wrong.
Of course she would have no use for a small cart-load of expensive flowers. One had to send gifts of that sort to Loraine, because she was herself so gorgeously expensive, but Marcia might like some violets. Violets would look rather well on the blue suit she most often wore. He was to meet her in a half-hour, though he had not mentioned the appointment to Loraine.
