polite words to Freckles and the Angel; declined to remain
on account of an engagement; and went away; gracefully。
〃Well bully for her!〃 said Mrs。 Comstock。 〃She's a
little thoroughbred after all!〃
〃That was a mighty big thing for her to be doing;〃
said Freckles in a hushed voice。
〃If you knew her as well as I do;〃 said Philip Ammon;
〃you would have a better conception of what that cost。〃
〃It was a terror!〃 cried the Angel。 〃I never could have done it。〃
〃‘Never could have done it!'〃 echoed Freckles。 〃Why; Angel;
dear; that is the one thing of all the world you would have done!〃
〃I have to take care of this;〃 faltered Elnora; hurrying
toward the door to hide the tears which were rolling down
her cheeks。
〃I must help;〃 said Philip; disappearing also。 〃Elnora;〃
he called; catching up with her; 〃take me where I may cry; too。
Wasn't she great?〃
〃Superb!〃 exclaimed Elnora。 〃I have no words。 I feel so humbled!〃
〃So do I;〃 said Philip。 〃I think a brave deed like that
always makes one feel so。 Now are you happy?〃
〃Unspeakably happy!〃 answered Elnora。
