CHAPTER DXXV
WHY MADGE FELT FOR ONCE
SHE HADN'T BEEN "TOO EASY."
I can Imagine that a disinterested
observer would have obtained a greav
deal of amusement from the inter
view Cousin Agatha and I were hav
ing behind the closed doors of. my
room. y ,
A stranger to me, although a eon
sin of my mother-in-law's, she bad
sought me out within half an hour
of her unexpected arrival in our
home to pour complaints of Katie's
behavior into my ears. Fortunately
I had heard Katie's side of the story
first. My faithful little maid had
come to me. In a paroxysm of tears
and sobs on account of the unpardon
able behavior of the woman. Be
cause of her long tenure of a posi
tion which gave her unlimited au
thority over certain girls. Cousin
Agatha evidently felt it her duty and 1
privilege to tax Katie with her con
dition, under the belief that she was
unmarried. Katie had called her
"vun old liar", had flown to me. and
was now preparing dinner behind
tne locked doors of the kitchen,
while I faced the wrath of Cousin
Agatha.
That wrath was rising; now and
threatened to wreck its possessor's
proiesional calm of manner. Goaded
by my Inner conviction that everyone
around me, inlcudlng my husband.
inougnt me too easy" as Katie ex
pre&sed It. and treated me with a
careless disregard or my feelings
which they wouldn't have dared to
employ toward a woman of sterner
fibre. I had met Cousin Agatha's
strictures upon Katie with a manner!
that I knew was unpardonably inso
lent, a manner I had never dreamed
1 could ever mplby to any one.
Madge Plays Trumps.
"You're unpardonably insulting!"
Cousin Agatha gasped, after my last
retort to her. I saw with hidden sav
age delight that the veneer was
stripped from her. She was so angry
she could mask her feeling no longer.
"Perhaps you will feel differently
about this when you know that your
precious maid, whom you are de
fending so stoutly, has been deceiv
ing you."
Her voice was a venomous snarL-l
bbe evidently thought that her In
formation would evidently crush me.
I couldn't help giving her the bene
fit of a cool tantalizing smile before
I answered.
"Since when has it become a crime
for a married woman to have a
child?" I aeked coolly.
Cousin Agatha looked at me with
such absolute chagrined amazement
that I had hard work to keep from
laughing. In her anxiety -to make
mischief she had lost all sense of
proportion and perspective and the
possibility of Katie's being married
had never dawned upon her. It is
n't a pleasant thing to realize that
you have Just made an absolute idiot
of yourself, and Cousin Agatha evi
dently found the pill a bitter one to
swallow. But she made an attempt
to stand her ground.
"Oh. I see? she eald. "The girl
has been to you with her side of the
story. She's a quick one, I'll admit.
But when yoa have been at long in
the business of taking care of those
animals as I have, you'll know bet
ter than to trust their stories."
After the vulgarity and cruelty of
that speech I had no further com
punction about dealing with Cousin
Agatha as I ached to do. I caught
her eyes and held them with the
cool, scornful look I used sometimes
to employ effectively with her type
of embryo woman in my school
days.
"It may interest you to know that
I prepared Katie's wedding . dress
with my own, hands, that she was
married from our home, that her
husband Is our man of all work." I
said lclry. "It may also interest you
to know that I don't care to have
you as a guest in my home. You
may stay until it la convenient for
you to go somewhere else, but no
longer. And you are at perfect lib
erty to tell my mother-in-law or my
husband what I hate said.
"However, If you choose to keep
silent I will not say anything to
them about It. You may, if you
wish, make any other excuse for not
remaining. But remember, it Is on
ly consideration for you that leads
me to offer you this alternative. Tell
them everything if you wish. And
now I must ask you to excuse me."
Without a word she scurried from
the room, and I, sinking into a chair,
burst into hysterical tears. For once
I hadn't been "too easy", but I was
horribly afraid that I had been a
much worse thing.
