be that I should forget you. Itsalways been my motto to move on if I got too
contented anywhere.
Oh, oh, and she do be the lady as can do it, said
Judy. Tillytuck with another sigh as she closed her bag.
It was Raeswedding day and hereafter when she
wakened she must waken alone.
Will it be possible to have a white dress, Pat
After all, his lies were interesting and I like a
little frivolousconversation once in a while.
Oh, oh, it ought to be wid a whole year to get
riddy in, agreedJudy. Im just going to sit here and hate her hard.
Id set my heart onseeing darling Rae
married.
Tillytuck lookedappealingly at the
others.
Pat and Rae found it hard to win sleep that last
night together. Im NOT going to look up at Brook when Im uttering thefinal
vow.
And so they came to Happinessand the Haunted Spring
again.
I hope it will be fine to-morrow, said
Rae.
Something in his tone toldher that the pain and
disillusionment of that memory was stillkeen.
No, thank goodness my heart is all right, said
Mrs.
She spent more evenings at the Long House
thatwinter than ever before. The onewho goes is happier far than the one thats left
behind.
But Gentleman Tom and McGinty had gone andJudy had
grown old. Rae, Ive learned to accept change even though I cannever help dreading it
She muttered under her breath as she went into the
pantry, Spakenot in the ears av a fool.
Ive made up my mind I wont spoil your wedding with
tears. Inez Macaulay came to make it andsewed for dear life.
She wasable to join in the family life again and go
about seeing herfriends. Pat and Rae found it hard to win sleep that last night
together.
Life would be dull if we hadnt a few traggedies to
look back on,he said philosophically.
She was very, very fond of David but things were
nice justas they were.
Binnie was there after all, havingrushed madly away
as soon as dear Samuels funeral was over. I hope it will be fine to-morrow, said
Rae. They hadsuch a nice friendly understanding. Could the gulf of years be bridged
so easily? I simply cant go down to see him, gasped Pat, going momentarilyto pieces.
Binnie, and Ill thank you,Miss Plum, not to be putting words in my
mouth.
We do all be handsome enough here widout thim.
