No quick response came, and Janeys heart stood
still as she waited forRandolphs answer. Frankly, Miss Endicott, I think you ought
tohave a good stiff lecture. I love Janey and Id go to anyextreme to save
her.
Ivelearned to fight my natural instincts. Diego
showed his white teeth in a gleaming smile. She makes all manner of fun of you, but
underneath it theres somethingdeep. Im honest in believing Ive not been a badexample
for my child. An right now we can have itout, returned the grim Mormon.
I certainly do, replied Randolph, bluntly. Her
father stood inthe doorway, horrified, completely robbed of the power of speech. Its
easy, Miss, he said, extending his gloved hands. Presently she rode out of the
straggling cedars so that she could fullysee the great wall.
One of theIndians was nothing if not frankly
admiring. Im sorry, but I cant accept solicitedattention.
So she took the trouble to pick up the cigarettes.
Somebody has to stop you from taking these risks. Ive got important letters and
telegrams to send. All the same Ive been hoping youdtake me around a little.
Shedanced around the transfixed Mormon, raining taps upon his handsome
nose.
Diego showed his white teeth in a gleaming smile.
How good to get away from that atmospherefor a while! He talked as if she were a
nine-year-oldchild. Endicott, dividedbetween doubt and exultation.
She would play up to their infamous plot. But Janey
had pretended indifference as to hismovements. I save myconscience in this case by
believing she could care for you. Janeygazed in actual amazement and delight at the
face that smiled back at herfrom the mirror. Not, however, as those young men were
in the East. I suppose articles and lecturescould be translated into money. Ill
swear Idont believe Janey has ever met a real man. Endicott, its because I really
love Janey.
