292 RAINBOW <strong>VALLEY</strong>She was a good woman she would be kind to hischildren. He might bring himself to do it if it werenot for his love of Rosemary West.But until he hadcrushed that out he could not seek another woman inmarriage. And he could not crush it out he had triedand he could not. Rosemary had been in church thatevening, for the first time since her return from Kingsport.He had caught a glimpse of her face in the backof the crowded church, justas he had finished hissermon. His heart had given a fierce throb. He satwhile the choir sang the "collection piece," with hisbent head and tingling pulses. He had not seen hersince the evening upon which he had asked her tomarry him.When he had risen to give out the hymnhis hands were trembling and his pale face was flushed.Then Una's fainting spell had banished everythingfrom his mind for a time. Now, in the darkness andsolitude of the study it rushed back. Rosemary wasthe only woman in the world for him. It was of nouse for him to think of marrying any other.He couldnot commit such a sacrilege even for his children'ssake. He must take up his burden alone he must tryto be a better, a more watchful father he must tellhis children not to be afraid to come to him with alltheir little problems. Then he lighted his lamp andtook up a bulky new book which was setting the theologicalworld by the ears. He would read just onechapter to compose his mind. Five minutes later hewas lost to the world and the troubles of the world.
CHAPTER XXIXA WEIRD TALEON an early June evening Rainbow Valley was aentirely delightful place and the children felt itto be so, as they sat in the open glade where the bellsrang elfishly on the Tree Lovers, and the White Ladyshook her green tresses. The wind was laughing andwhistling about them like a leal, glad-hearted comrade.The young ferns were spicy in the hollow. The wildcherry trees scattered over the valley, among the darkfirs, were mistily white. The robins were whistlingover in the maples behind Ingleside. Beyond, on theslopes of the Glen, were blossoming orchards, sweetand mystic and wonderful, veiled in dusk. It wasspring, and young things must be glad in spring.Everybody was glad in Rainbow Valley that eveninguntil Mary Vance froze their blood with the story ofHenry Warren's ghost.Jem was not there. Jem spent his evenings nowstudying for his entrance examination in the Inglesidegarret. Jerry was down near the pond, trouting.Walter had been reading Longfellow's sea poems tothe others and they were steeped in the beauty andmystery of the ships.Then they talked of what they293
