Chapter Four
DAVID
THE Carroll house hadn't the or-
dered, clipped beauty of Jier own
home, but It bad beauty ot setting;
of rich red fields In the distance: of
magnificent trees that led to the
entrance like an aisle to an altar.
The car stopped before a doorway
that wore Its raying fanlight like a
coronet, and It seemed to Emily lh.it
Bedlam broke loose. Dogs barked,
someone shouted from an upper
window, and Judith shouted loudest
of all.
Mrs. Carroll met them In the lofty
hall; a fiill, thin woman In Impecca
ble riding clothes, with the broad
"a"s and superfluous "y"i of tide
water Virginia In her voice. She
kissed her daughter briefly but af
fectionately. "Judith, my darling! We are about
to send out posses. Where did you
get that awful hat?" 1
and ruddier than any of them, said
teasingly.
"From all I can gather, you're the
Influence for good that Jude's been
needing."
Emily laughed. Already she felt
herself catching the spirit of this
place. "OS, I hopo not! Influences
for good usually wear flat heels and
glasses."
He chuckled. "Then you must be
an envoy of the Devil. Anyhow, we're
glad to have you."
They came finally to the end of the
room, to an individual that Judith
embraced for a full half minute.
Then she turned back to Emily,
"This Is David," she said.
As she looked Into David's wait
ing eyes Emily realized that life
needn't necessarily be the safe and
dismal affair that she had always
expected; It mlsht be thrilling and
reckless and glorious. And If David
would let you see It with blm, It
would be.
He had taken her hands, and al
though he was talking to Judith, ha
was looking at her. "And you've been
keeping this from me ever since
September? Is that sisterly affec
tion, I ask you?"
"If you'd taken the trouble to
come and see me," Judith retorted,
"I'd have let you meet her sooner.
But you're so married to your horses
and your alfalfa that you can't tear
They welcomed Emily with gay cordiality.
"At a fire sale, love," retorted her
daughter, who had paid thirty dot.
lars for the hat two days before.
"Mother, this Is Emily."
Mrs. Carroll's tanned face soft
ened Into a charming smile. "We're
delighted to have you, my dear. I
hope you don't mind Bedlam."
Emily smiled back ."If this Is a
sample, I think I'll love IL"
Mrs. Carroll patted her hand.
"Dinner's almost roady, Jude, so
you'd better have Jackson take your
bags up right away. There's quite
a mob tonight," she added as an
afterthought, "so you'd better
dress."
And with another brlgT, affection
ate smile she left them.
Emily stared wide-eyed at the
room to which they were shown.
The celling was st least twelve feet
In height, and Uie canopied ma-
sogany bed almost touched It.
"I feel like Queen Victoria or
Martha Washington."
Judith had already begun throw
lng things. "They say she slept here
once: Martha, I mean: but 1 doubt
It. Neither she nor George lived long
enough to occupy all the beds they're
supposed to have honored.
"I think," she decided abruptly,
"that you'd better wear that daffodil
chiffon and knock them flat all at
once. It won't matter then whether
you talk or not, and you can get your
bearings."
She obediently wore the chiffon;
pale yellow, with a golden-brown
girdle toning to the deeper brown
of ber hair. Judith, who always
dressed like a whirlwind and looked
like a mannequin, surveyed her
critically and reached for the rouge.
When she had finished she stepped
back and regarded her handiwork.
"God help the poor seamen on a
night like this!" she chuckled, and
led the way downstairs.
'PHE Carroll living-room was vast,
A softly lighted, and alive with
reople who were all drinking high
balls and talking at the tops of their
voices.
They kissed Judith, men and wo
men Indiscriminately, and welcomed
Emily with a gay cordiality that she
would have given a great deal to ac
Quire. Mr. Carroll, who was bigger
yourself away. Is that brotherly af
fection, I qfk you?"
"Well, we won't quarrel over tt
now," David decided, and as a ser
vant announced dinner he slipped
Emily's hand through his arm.
The other arm he flung about
Judith's shoulders, and the three of
them moved towards the dining
room. TN retrospect the dinner had for
1 Emily the dream-like quality that
so manyOpivid experiences acquire.
The table was candlo-llt, and ex
quisite crystal caught the glow and
splintered it into a thousand colored
fragments. David's head, with Its
fair unruly hair, waa bent close to
hers, and his conversation was as
Incessant and amusing as It was In
consequential. There wero quantities of delicious
food that she couldn't eat, and a
great deal of wine that she didn't
dare drink. David's admiration was
Intoxicating eno-igh for one evening.
And afterwards, when dinner was
over and the party was breaking up
Into tables of bridge and tables of
poker, David led her outdoors and
settled her carefully In a ''cop, cush
ioned swing, set In the enrhanted cir
cle of the garden.
For a long time they didn't talk.
David rested an arm gently about
her shoulders and smoked. Then he
threw away the clgaret and his arm
tightened.
"I babbled about myaslf all dur
ing dinner and you were too sweot
to shut me up. Talk about you, now."
She dldn'towant to talk... She
wanted to sit still and feel David's
arm holding her close. She was
faintly ashamed, too, of the monot
onous propriety of her existence.
"There's no story. I've done the
proper things all my life." A recol
lectloiSof the carnival man returned.
"I've never stolen a green apple or
gone wading before the correct time
to go wading. You couldn't be In
terested In anything I've ever done."
His cheek was caressing her hair
and his nearness left her shaken. "I
could be Interested In anything
you've ever done."

Kot a code, but en actual language,
li whistled back and forth among
th hills of Oomera Island In the
Canaries by natives who iro able to
carry on whistling conversations over
distances up to three or four miles.
The basis of thla whistling lan
guage Is Spanish. Words and phrAsen
are whistled rather than spoken and
may be borne great distances. The
rounds are perfectly unintelligible to
one not acquainted with the lnn
gunge. No Instrument of any kind
Is used.
The language owes its origin prob
ably to the mountainous nature of
the Island. Distance comparatively
close together by airline cannot be
reached by foot without traversing
canyons and valleys. Hence the need
for a simple means of long distance
communication.
Strange aa it seems, the whistling
language Is not entirely peculiar to
this Island. Chacarters of the Paris
underworld sometimes use a poorly
developed whistling language to com
municate with each other when se
crecy Is needed.
The little church at the foot of
James Bay in northern Ontario has
holes In the floor so that flood waters
may enter the building freely. There
is good reason for thla strange fact.
Before they put hole in the floor,
riood waters used to float the church
away like a boat. Members of the
congregation decided that it was
easier to clean up the dirt left by
receding water than to0 bring the
building back from somewhere down
streamtherefore, the precaution.
