All
right
,
"
he
said
,
looking
at
her
weakly
and
yieldingly
.
"
I
suppose
I
am
a
fool
,
but
I
saw
what
you
did
,
all
right
.
You
know
I
'm
crazy
about
you
,
Hortense
--
just
wild
!
I
ca
n't
help
it
.
I
wish
I
could
sometimes
.
I
wish
I
would
n't
be
such
a
fool
.
"
And
he
looked
at
her
and
was
sad
.
And
she
,
realizing
her
power
over
him
and
how
easy
it
was
to
bring
him
around
,
replied
:
"
Oh
,
you
--
you
do
n't
,
either
.
I
'll
kiss
you
after
a
while
,
when
the
others
are
n't
looking
if
you
'll
be
good
.
"
At
the
same
time
she
was
conscious
of
the
fact
that
Sparser
's
eyes
were
upon
her
.
Also
that
he
was
intensely
drawn
to
her
and
that
she
liked
him
more
than
any
one
she
had
recently
encountered
.
The
climax
of
the
afternoon
was
reached
,
however
,
when
after
several
more
dances
and
drinks
,
the
small
river
and
its
possibilities
was
again
brought
to
the
attention
of
all
by
Hegglund
,
who
,
looking
out
of
one
of
the
windows
,
suddenly
exclaimed
:
"
What
's
de
matter
wit
de
ice
down
dere
?
Look
at
de
swell
ice
.
I
dare
dis
crowd
to
go
down
dere
and
slide
.
"
They
were
off
pell-mell
--
Ratterer
and
Tina
Kogel
,
running
hand
in
hand
,
Sparser
and
Lucille
Nickolas
,
with
whom
he
had
just
been
dancing
,
Higby
and
Laura
Sipe
,
whom
he
was
finding
interesting
enough
for
a
change
,
and
Clyde
and
Hortense
.
But
once
on
the
ice
,
which
was
nothing
more
than
a
narrow
,
winding
stream
,
blown
clean
in
places
by
the
wind
,
and
curving
among
thickets
of
leafless
trees
,
the
company
were
more
like
young
satyrs
and
nymphs
of
an
older
day
.
They
ran
here
and
there
,
slipping
and
sliding
--
Higby
,
Lucille
and
Maida
immediately
falling
down
,
but
scrambling
to
their
feet
with
bursts
of
laughter
.
And
Hortense
,
aided
by
Clyde
at
first
,
minced
here
and
there
.
But
soon
she
began
to
run
and
slide
,
squealing
in
pretended
fear
.
And
now
,
not
only
Sparser
but
Higby
,
and
this
in
spite
of
Clyde
,
began
to
show
Hortense
attention
.
They
joined
her
in
sliding
,
ran
after
her
and
pretended
to
try
to
trip
her
up
,
but
caught
her
as
she
fell
.
And
Sparser
,
taking
her
by
the
hand
,
dragged
her
,
seemingly
in
spite
of
herself
and
the
others
,
far
upstream
and
about
a
curve
where
they
could
not
be
seen
.
Determined
not
to
show
further
watchfulness
or
jealousy
Clyde
remained
behind
.
But
he
could
not
help
feeling
that
Sparser
might
be
taking
this
occasion
to
make
a
date
,
even
to
kiss
her
.
She
was
not
incapable
of
letting
him
,
even
though
she
might
pretend
to
him
that
she
did
not
want
him
to
.
It
was
agonizing
.
In
spite
of
himself
,
he
began
to
tingle
with
helpless
pain
--
to
begin
to
wish
that
he
could
see
them
.
But
Hegglund
,
having
called
every
one
to
join
hands
and
crack
the
whip
,
he
took
the
hand
of
Lucille
Nickolas
,
who
was
holding
on
to
Hegglund
's
,
and
gave
his
other
free
hand
to
Maida
Axelrod
,
who
in
turn
gave
her
free
hand
to
Ratterer
.
And
Higby
and
Laura
Sipe
were
about
to
make
up
the
tail
when
Sparser
and
Hortense
came
gliding
back
--
he
holding
her
by
the
hand
.
And
they
now
tacked
on
at
the
foot
.
Then
Hegglund
and
the
others
began
running
and
doubling
back
and
forth
until
all
beyond
Maida
had
fallen
and
let
go
.
And
,
as
Clyde
noted
,
Hortense
and
Sparser
,
in
falling
,
skidded
and
rolled
against
each
other
to
the
edge
of
the
shore
where
were
snow
and
leaves
and
twigs
.
And
Hortense
's
skirts
,
becoming
awry
in
some
way
,
moved
up
to
above
her
knees
.
But
instead
of
showing
any
embarrassment
,
as
Clyde
thought
and
wished
she
might
,
she
sat
there
for
a
few
moments
without
shame
and
even
laughing
heartily
--
and
Sparser
with
her
and
still
holding
her
hand
.
And
Laura
Sipe
,
having
fallen
in
such
a
way
as
to
trip
Higby
,
who
had
fallen
across
her
,
they
also
lay
there
laughing
and
yet
in
a
most
suggestive
position
,
as
Clyde
thought
.
He
noted
,
too
,
that
Laura
Sipe
's
skirts
had
been
worked
above
her
knees
.
And
Sparser
,
now
sitting
up
,
was
pointing
to
her
pretty
legs
and
laughing
loudly
,
showing
most
of
his
teeth
.
And
all
the
others
were
emitting
peals
and
squeals
of
laughter
.
"
Hang
it
all
!
"
thought
Clyde
.
"
Why
the
deuce
does
he
always
have
to
be
hanging
about
her
?
Why
did
n't
he
bring
a
girl
of
his
own
if
he
wanted
to
have
a
good
time
?
What
right
have
they
got
to
go
where
they
ca
n't
be
seen
?
And
she
thinks
I
think
she
means
nothing
by
all
this
.
She
never
laughs
that
heartily
with
me
,
you
bet
.
What
does
she
think
I
am
that
she
can
put
that
stuff
over
on
me
,
anyhow
?
"
He
glowered
darkly
for
the
moment
,
but
in
spite
of
his
thoughts
the
line
or
whip
was
soon
re-formed
and
this
time
with
Lucille
Nickolas
still
holding
his
hand
.
Sparser
and
Hortense
at
the
tail
end
again
.
But
Hegglund
,
unconscious
of
the
mood
of
Clyde
and
thinking
only
of
the
sport
,
called
:
"
Better
let
some
one
else
take
de
end
dere
,
had
n'tcha
?
"
And
feeling
the
fairness
of
this
,
Ratterer
and
Maida
Axelrod
and
Clyde
and
Lucille
Nickolas
now
moved
down
with
Higby
and
Laura
Sipe
and
Hortense
and
Sparser
above
them
.
Only
,
as
Clyde
noted
,
Hortense
still
held
Sparser
by
the
hand
,
yet
she
moved
just
above
him
and
took
his
hand
,
he
being
to
the
right
,
with
Sparser
next
above
to
her
left
,
holding
her
other
hand
firmly
,
which
infuriated
Clyde
.
Why
could
n't
he
stick
to
Laura
Sipe
,
the
girl
brought
out
here
for
him
?
And
Hortense
was
encouraging
him
.
He
was
very
sad
,
and
he
felt
so
angry
and
bitter
that
he
could
scarcely
play
the
game
.
He
wanted
to
stop
and
quarrel
with
Sparser
.
But
so
brisk
and
eager
was
Hegglund
that
they
were
off
before
he
could
even
think
of
doing
so
.
