The Quickening Another was to the order of Ardea Dabney, covering the Farley shares at a valuation based on the prosperous period before the crash of '93. The Quickening Before he could find it the door opened and closed and Ardea stood before him. The Quickening "There is nothing for me to confess to you, Ardea," he said soberly, still holding the hand she had given him. The Quickening This he said, thinking only of the boy-time obligation voluntarily assumed; but it was quite inevitable that Ardea should mistake the motive. The Quickening "Can't we have a little music, Miss Ardea?" he asked, after a while, hoping to suggest a comforting diversion. The Quickening Moreover, Tom had come between; had taken Ardea in his arms protectingly and was fronting the firebrand Dabney like a man. The Quickening "Isn't it terrible!" he said; but Ardea's glance had gone beyond the tortured tree to the shuttered windows and smokeless chimney of the cabin. The Quickening The small adventure was taking on an air of mystery which thickened momently, demanding insistently a complete rearrangement of his preconceived notions of Miss Ardea Dabney. The Quickening Ardea was white to the lips and trembling when she retreated to the door-stone and beckoned to her companion. The Quickening Ardea wrapped the child hastily and gave him to Pete to carry, following as quickly as she could down the path made possible by the coachman's choppings. The Quickening "Don't you look so shuck up, little one," he whispered reassuringly to Ardea. The Quickening When you find it in a woman like Ardea Dabney, it raises her to the seventh power angelic. The Quickening He had been trying latterly to train up to the degree of mental fitness which would enable him to think calmly of Ardea as another man's wife. The Quickening The devils have come back, Ardea, my love; but you can cast them out again, if you will. The Quickening Ardea had a nerve-shaking conviction that it would never do to leave it in the air. The Quickening Then, and not till then, Ardea got up on her knees and put her arms around the neck of the Great Dane. The Quickening But the social distractions were powerless in the field where Bach and the piano had failed, and after luncheon Ardea shut herself in her room, desperately determined to try what solitude would do. The Quickening My father has worked hard all his life, and he's right old now, Ardea. The Quickening What an insufferable animal Farley was, to be sure!—with the love of a woman like Ardea Dabney failing to keep him on the hither side of common decency! The Quickening Would Ardea break with him, now that she knew the truth? The Quickening "Grandpa is telling you you must stay to luncheon with us," prompted Ardea. The Quickening Sometimes I wish I could be a boy long enough to do just that thing, Ardea. The Quickening "I do like; there has got to be some one person in this world to whom I can talk straight, Ardea." The Quickening They were passing the miniature copy of Morwenstow Church when Ardea spoke again. The Quickening But when he looked up they were there, Miss Euphrasia straightening herself aloof in virtuous disapproval, and Ardea looking as if some one had suddenly shown her the head of Medusa. The Quickening Say, Ardea; I'm hunting for sympathy; just as I used to a long time ago. The Quickening He flung a nervous glance over his shoulder; Ardea and her cousin were returning down the foot-path. The Quickening As Ardea had said, the example was needed; it should be forthcoming. The Quickening He had not seen Ardea since the midwinter night of soul-awakenings; and Alecto's finger was still pressing on the wound inflicted by the closed doors of Mountain View Avenue and his father's misdirected sympathy.

The Quickening Ardea thought it would not be well, later on, for those who should find that jaw and chin opposing them.
