“You can do it. I mean you to have a name and a career.”
“I don’t want to live only for self.”
“First make ‘self’ a strong castle, then think of helping the
distressed. We are only just at the beginning of things, you and I.
We’ll have a rest home for tired workers. I know of a fine site in my
pine woods. And you will become a woman of affairs.”
“I shall never rush about and make speeches!”
“No, I don’t think you will do that.”
They turned towards the white gate, and heard the voice of
Lynette—Lynette who had been giving chase.
“Daddy! Miss Eve!”
She came on them, running; glowing hair tossing in the sunlight, red
mouth a little breathless.
“Oh, Miss Eve, the fairies have asked you to tea!”
“I know. I have heard!”
She caught Lynette, and kneeling, drew her into her arms with a great
spasm of tenderness.
“I am going to be a fairy, one of your fairies, for ever and ever.”
“Be the Queen Fairy!”
“Yes, yes.”
“For ever and ever. I think God is very kind. I did ask Him so hard.”
“Dear!”
Lynette had never been kissed as she was kissed at that moment.
