Or
Sondra
halloing
gayly
for
him
to
come
on
,
or
the
two
of
them
laughing
and
chatting
a
hundred
yards
ahead
in
some
concealed
chapel
of
the
aisled
trees
where
he
could
not
see
them
.
And
because
of
the
interest
which
Sondra
was
so
obviously
manifesting
in
him
these
days
--
an
interest
which
Bertine
herself
had
begun
to
feel
might
end
in
marriage
,
if
no
family
complications
arose
to
interfere
--
she
,
Bertine
,
was
all
smiles
,
the
very
soul
of
cordiality
,
winsomely
insisting
that
he
should
come
up
and
stay
for
the
summer
and
she
would
chaperon
them
both
so
that
no
one
would
have
a
chance
to
complain
.
And
Clyde
thrilling
,
and
yet
brooding
too
--
by
turns
--
occasionally
--
and
in
spite
of
himself
drifting
back
to
the
thought
that
the
item
in
the
paper
had
inspired
--
and
yet
fighting
it
--
trying
to
shut
it
out
entirely
.
And
then
at
one
point
,
Sondra
,
turning
down
a
steep
path
which
led
to
a
stony
and
moss-lipped
spring
between
the
dark
trees
,
called
to
Clyde
to
"
Come
on
down
.
Jerry
knows
the
way
.
He
wo
n't
slip
.
Come
and
get
a
drink
.
If
you
do
,
you
'll
come
back
again
soon
--
so
they
say
.
"
And
once
he
was
down
and
had
dismounted
to
drink
,
she
exclaimed
:
"
I
've
been
wanting
to
tell
you
something
.
You
should
have
seen
Mamma
's
face
last
night
when
she
heard
you
were
up
here
.
She
ca
n't
be
sure
that
I
had
anything
to
do
with
it
,
of
course
,
because
she
thinks
that
Bertine
likes
you
,
too
.
I
made
her
think
that
.
But
just
the
same
she
suspects
that
I
had
a
hand
in
it
,
I
guess
,
and
she
does
n't
quite
like
it
.
But
she
ca
n't
say
anything
more
than
she
has
before
.
And
I
had
a
talk
with
Bertine
just
now
and
she
's
agreed
to
stick
by
me
and
help
me
all
she
can
.
But
we
'll
have
to
be
even
more
careful
than
ever
now
,
because
I
think
if
Mamma
got
too
suspicious
I
do
n't
know
what
she
might
do
--
want
us
to
leave
here
,
even
now
maybe
,
just
so
I
could
n't
see
you
.
You
know
she
feels
that
I
should
n't
be
interested
in
any
one
yet
except
some
one
she
likes
.
You
know
how
it
is
.
She
's
that
way
with
Stuart
,
too
.
But
if
you
'll
take
care
not
to
show
that
you
care
for
me
so
much
whenever
we
're
around
any
one
of
our
crowd
,
I
do
n't
think
she
'll
do
anything
--
not
now
,
anyhow
.
Later
on
,
in
the
fall
,
when
we
're
back
in
Lycurgus
,
things
will
be
different
.
I
'll
be
of
age
then
,
and
I
'm
going
to
see
what
I
can
do
.
I
never
loved
any
one
before
,
but
I
do
love
you
,
and
,
well
,
I
wo
n't
give
you
up
,
that
's
all
.
I
wo
n't
.
And
they
ca
n't
make
me
,
either
!
"
She
stamped
her
foot
and
struck
her
boot
,
the
while
the
two
horses
looked
idly
and
vacantly
about
.
And
Clyde
,
enthused
and
astonished
by
this
second
definite
declaration
in
his
behalf
,
as
well
as
fired
by
the
thought
that
now
,
if
ever
,
he
might
suggest
the
elopement
and
marriage
and
so
rid
himself
of
the
sword
that
hung
so
threateningly
above
him
,
now
gazed
at
Sondra
,
his
eyes
filled
with
a
nervous
hope
and
a
nervous
fear
.
For
she
might
refuse
,
and
change
,
too
,
shocked
by
the
suddenness
of
his
suggestion
.
And
he
had
no
money
and
no
place
in
mind
where
they
might
go
either
,
in
case
she
accepted
his
proposal
.
But
she
had
,
perhaps
,
or
she
might
have
.
And
having
once
consented
,
might
she
not
help
him
?
Of
course
.
At
any
rate
,
he
felt
that
he
must
speak
,
leaving
luck
or
ill
luck
to
the
future
.
And
so
he
said
:
"
Why
could
n't
you
run
away
with
me
now
,
Sondra
,
darling
?
It
's
so
long
until
fall
and
I
want
you
so
much
.
Why
could
n't
we
?
Your
mother
's
not
likely
to
want
to
let
you
marry
me
then
,
anyhow
.
But
if
we
went
away
now
,
she
could
n't
help
herself
,
could
she
?
And
afterwards
,
in
a
few
months
or
so
,
you
could
write
her
and
then
she
would
n't
mind
.
Why
could
n't
we
,
Sondra
?
"
His
voice
was
very
pleading
,
his
eyes
full
of
a
sad
dread
of
refusal
--
and
of
the
future
that
lay
unprotected
behind
that
.
And
by
now
so
caught
was
she
by
the
tremor
with
which
his
mood
invested
him
,
that
she
paused
--
not
really
shocked
by
the
suggestion
at
all
--
but
decidedly
moved
,
as
well
as
flattered
by
the
thought
that
she
was
able
to
evoke
in
Clyde
so
eager
and
headlong
a
passion
.
He
was
so
impetuous
--
so
blazing
now
with
a
flame
of
her
own
creating
,
as
she
felt
,
yet
which
she
was
incapable
of
feeling
as
much
as
he
,
as
she
knew
--
such
a
flame
as
she
had
never
seen
in
him
or
any
one
else
before
.
And
would
it
not
be
wonderful
if
she
could
run
away
with
him
now
--
secretly
--
to
Canada
or
New
York
or
Boston
,
or
anywhere
?
The
excitement
her
elopement
would
create
here
and
elsewhere
--
in
Lycurgus
,
Albany
,
Utica
!
The
talk
and
feeling
in
her
own
family
as
well
as
elsewhere
!
And
Gilbert
would
be
related
to
her
in
spite
of
him
--
and
the
Griffiths
,
too
,
whom
her
mother
and
father
so
much
admired
.
For
a
moment
there
was
written
in
her
eyes
the
desire
and
the
determination
almost
,
to
do
as
he
suggested
--
run
away
--
make
a
great
lark
of
this
,
her
intense
and
true
love
.
For
,
once
married
,
what
could
her
parents
do
?
And
was
not
Clyde
worthy
of
her
and
them
,
too
?
Of
course
--
even
though
nearly
all
in
her
set
fancied
that
he
was
not
quite
all
he
should
be
,
just
because
he
did
n't
have
as
much
money
as
they
had
.
But
he
would
have
--
would
he
not
--
after
he
was
married
to
her
--
and
get
as
good
a
place
in
her
father
's
business
as
Gil
Griffiths
had
in
his
father
's
?
