For
now
his
ambitions
toward
marriage
had
been
firmly
magnetized
by
the
world
to
which
the
Griffiths
belonged
.
And
yet
his
desires
were
most
colorfully
inflamed
by
her
.
if
only
he
might
venture
to
talk
to
her
more
--
to
walk
home
with
her
some
day
from
the
mill
--
to
bring
her
out
here
to
this
lake
on
a
Saturday
or
Sunday
,
and
row
about
--
just
to
idle
and
dream
with
her
.
He
rounded
a
point
studded
with
a
clump
of
trees
and
bushes
and
covering
a
shallow
where
were
scores
of
water
lilies
afloat
,
their
large
leaves
resting
flat
upon
the
still
water
of
the
lake
.
And
on
the
bank
to
the
left
was
a
girl
standing
and
looking
at
them
.
She
had
her
hat
off
and
one
hand
to
her
eyes
for
she
was
facing
the
sun
and
was
looking
down
in
the
water
.
Her
lips
were
parted
in
careless
inquiry
.
She
was
very
pretty
,
he
thought
,
as
he
paused
in
his
paddling
to
look
at
her
.
The
sleeves
of
a
pale
blue
waist
came
only
to
her
elbows
.
And
a
darker
blue
skirt
of
flannel
reconveyed
to
him
the
trimness
of
her
figure
.
It
was
n't
Roberta
!
It
could
n't
be
!
Yes
,
it
was
!
Almost
before
he
had
decided
,
he
was
quite
beside
her
,
some
twenty
feet
from
the
shore
,
and
was
looking
up
at
her
,
his
face
lit
by
the
radiance
of
one
who
had
suddenly
,
and
beyond
his
belief
,
realized
a
dream
.
And
as
though
he
were
a
pleasant
apparition
suddenly
evoked
out
of
nothing
and
nowhere
,
a
poetic
effort
taking
form
out
of
smoke
or
vibrant
energy
,
she
in
turn
stood
staring
down
at
him
,
her
lips
unable
to
resist
the
wavy
line
of
beauty
that
a
happy
mood
always
brought
to
them
.
"
My
,
Miss
Alden
!
It
is
you
,
is
n't
it
?
"
he
called
.
"
I
was
wondering
whether
it
was
.
I
could
n't
be
sure
from
out
there
.
"
"
Why
,
yes
it
is
,
"
she
laughed
,
puzzled
,
and
again
just
the
least
bit
abashed
by
the
reality
of
him
.
For
in
spite
of
her
obvious
pleasure
at
seeing
him
again
,
only
thinly
repressed
for
the
first
moment
or
two
,
she
was
on
the
instant
beginning
to
be
troubled
by
her
thoughts
in
regard
to
him
--
the
difficulties
that
contact
with
him
seemed
to
prognosticate
.
For
this
meant
contact
and
friendship
,
maybe
,
and
she
was
no
longer
in
any
mood
to
resist
him
,
whatever
people
might
think
.
And
yet
here
was
her
friend
,
Grace
Marr
.
Would
she
want
her
to
know
of
Clyde
and
her
interest
in
him
?
She
was
troubled
.
And
yet
she
could
not
resist
smiling
and
looking
at
him
in
a
frank
and
welcoming
way
.
She
had
been
thinking
of
him
so
much
and
wishing
for
him
in
some
happy
,
secure
,
commendable
way
.
And
now
here
he
was
.
And
there
could
be
nothing
more
innocent
than
his
presence
here
--
nor
hers
.
"
Just
out
for
a
walk
?
"
he
forced
himself
to
say
,
although
,
because
of
his
delight
and
his
fear
of
her
really
,
he
felt
not
a
little
embarrassed
now
that
she
was
directly
before
him
.
At
the
same
time
he
added
,
recalling
that
she
had
been
looking
so
intently
at
the
water
:
"
You
want
some
of
these
water
lilies
?
Is
that
what
you
're
looking
for
?
"
"
Uh
,
huh
,
"
she
replied
,
still
smiling
and
looking
directly
at
him
,
for
the
sight
of
his
dark
hair
blown
by
the
wind
,
the
pale
blue
outing
shirt
he
wore
open
at
the
neck
,
his
sleeves
rolled
up
and
the
yellow
paddle
held
by
him
above
the
handsome
blue
boat
,
quite
thrilled
her
.
If
only
she
could
win
such
a
youth
for
her
very
own
self
--
just
hers
and
no
one
else
's
in
the
whole
world
.
It
seemed
as
though
this
would
be
paradise
--
that
if
she
could
have
him
she
would
never
want
anything
else
in
all
the
world
.
And
here
at
her
very
feet
he
sat
now
in
this
bright
canoe
on
this
clear
July
afternoon
in
this
summery
world
--
so
new
and
pleasing
to
her
.
And
now
he
was
laughing
up
at
her
so
directly
and
admiringly
.
Her
girl
friend
was
far
in
the
rear
somewhere
looking
for
daisies
.
Could
she
?
Should
she
?
"
I
was
seeing
if
there
was
any
way
to
get
out
to
any
of
them
,
"
she
continued
a
little
nervously
,
a
tremor
almost
revealing
itself
in
her
voice
.
"
I
have
n't
seen
any
before
just
here
on
this
side
.
"
"
I
'll
get
you
all
you
want
,
"
he
exclaimed
briskly
and
gayly
.
"
You
just
stay
where
you
are
.
I
'll
bring
them
.
"
But
then
,
bethinking
him
of
how
much
more
lovely
it
would
be
if
she
were
to
get
in
with
him
,
he
added
:
"
But
see
here
--
why
do
n't
you
get
in
here
with
me
?
There
's
plenty
of
room
and
I
can
take
you
anywhere
you
want
to
go
.
