With
this
dire
threat
,
Freckles
knelt
,
as
at
a
wayside
spring
,
and
deliberately
laid
his
lips
on
the
footprint
.
Then
he
arose
,
appearing
as
if
he
had
been
drinking
at
the
fountain
of
gladness
.
“
Weel
,
I
be
drawed
on
!
”
exclaimed
Mrs
.
Duncan
.
Freckles
stood
before
her
,
holding
the
Angel
’
s
hat
.
“
I
’
ve
been
thinking
this
long
time
that
ye
or
Duncan
would
see
that
sunbonnets
werena
braw
enough
for
a
woman
of
my
standing
,
and
ye
’
re
a
guid
laddie
to
bring
me
this
beautiful
hat
.
”
She
turned
it
around
,
examining
the
weave
of
the
straw
and
the
foliage
trimmings
,
passing
her
rough
fingers
over
the
satin
ties
delightedly
.
As
she
held
it
up
,
admiring
it
,
Freckles
’
astonished
eyes
saw
a
new
side
of
Sarah
Duncan
.
She
was
jesting
,
but
under
the
jest
the
fact
loomed
strong
that
,
though
poor
,
overworked
,
and
with
none
but
God
-
given
refinement
,
there
was
something
in
her
soul
crying
after
that
bit
of
feminine
finery
,
and
it
made
his
heart
ache
for
her
.
He
resolved
that
when
he
reached
the
city
he
would
send
her
a
hat
,
if
it
took
fifty
dollars
to
do
it
.
She
lingeringly
handed
it
back
to
him
.
“
It
’
s
unco
guid
of
ye
to
think
of
me
,
”
she
said
lightly
,
“
but
I
maun
question
your
taste
a
wee
.
D
’
ye
no
think
ye
had
best
return
this
and
get
a
woman
with
half
her
hair
gray
a
little
plainer
headdress
?
Seems
like
that
’
s
far
ower
gay
for
me
.
I
’
m
no
’
saying
that
it
’
s
no
’
exactly
what
I
’
d
like
to
hae
,
but
I
mauna
mak
mysel
’
ridiculous
.
Ye
’
d
best
give
this
to
somebody
young
and
pretty
,
say
about
sixteen
.
Where
did
ye
come
by
it
,
Freckles
?
If
there
’
s
anything
been
dropping
lately
,
ye
hae
forgotten
to
mention
it
.
”
“
Do
you
see
anything
heavenly
about
that
hat
?
”
queried
Freckles
,
holding
it
up
.
The
morning
breeze
waved
the
ribbons
gracefully
,
binding
one
around
Freckles
’
sleeve
and
the
other
across
his
chest
,
where
they
caught
and
clung
as
if
magnetized
.
“
Yes
,
”
said
Sarah
Duncan
.
“
It
’
s
verra
plain
and
simple
,
but
it
juist
makes
ye
feel
that
it
’
s
all
of
the
finest
stuff
.
It
’
s
exactly
what
I
’
d
call
a
heavenly
hat
.
”
