lines cirreoamti thipipi j old chum cot nm to aomrrmf chapter hi virgie took a letter that lucy landed her unfoldetfniae single heet of cheap gray paper read it hrfugh twice the envelope was narked persona the handwrit- ng was angular and labored the cnpi of one who expresses himself in writing only at rate intervals did you take a look at this he asked no mrs morgan it was narked personal i opened the en velope but i didnt look at the let- er its from wallace withers he vants to come to my house tonight o talk business so he says lucy brightened then he has iecided to sell that bennett spruce lell tpytoge three prices out of ou mrs morgan hes surejotrvsomothing ve- oiown wallace all my life the old corpion the last time he came to ee me he tried to talk me into mar- ying him because he said i didnt enow enough flo run this mill but you couldnt why mrs lorgan his poor first wife never lid come to town i donl suppose he ever had more than one decent ress in her whole married life i didnt marry him did i i nay be getting loft in a few spots ut not in ihal one lucy you lis- en i want inu to enme out to that onference if withers has any idea if selling thai spruce i want a rec- ird of it he ii try to work some kind of rickei you can make notes of everjthmg he soys he wants to talk business well when i talk business m secretary is pres ent ill hdve marian there too id like to have young wills where is he he went up in tht woods with the truck well im glad sonubody went besides me marian thinks i look like an old tool trailing around in the mud climbing ovei timber and wading creeks a fal old woman like me anyway its a poor execu tive who cant get somebody to do the dirty work you re not a poor executive mrs morgan nobody else could have pulled the mill through i know youve told me i reck on id better not have wills out you can handle anything that needs to be done ill send the car after you wills would probably refuse to come to the house anyway because of marian marians attitude was still an enigma to her mother mar ian had always been a bright gift that virgie was grateful for but a gift that left her bewildered and a little uncertain and abashed she found herself constantly contriving to please marian or to a her displeasure and this was au wrong of course nonsense being bossed around by ninetyodd pounds of blackeyed girl but that was the foolishness of mothers and moth ers loved it they put up a spirit less fight against the dainty tyranny the disturbing sense of inferiority the whims and humors forced upon them by their young when they did flght they came off bad seconds usually and were piti fully patient about that lucy on the other side of the desk was swallowing nervously and the red was coming up into her cheeks and throat mrs morgan she began in a httie rush if you think it would be wise mr daniels might come to the conference tonight what for virgie asked blunt ly wallace withers is an old sour- puss i know that but i dont need a chemist to find out how acid he you spoke about mr wills lucy bridled slightly wills has got that spruce to cut if i buy it but i tnay not buy it id like to let old withers talk him self blue m the gills and then just blandly tell him we dont need his timber the worst about that is we do need it we can run another month on what we have in lucy was ready with her little book and then we could begin thinning on the bobcat run stuff i dont want to cut on bobcat not for another year if i can help it call up bryson lucy and ask him if he has any of that cider lefl that hasnt got too darned explosive there might be a way to limber up old withers most every man has a loose joint somewhere i dont believe mr withers has any hes made like one of these dry land turtles all shell and claws and mouth and no soft spot youre real bright at times lu cy virgie applauded just dont forget to be bright thats all its that fifteenminute interval when a woman forgets that god puts brains inside her head as well aa eyelashes on the side of it that ruins a lot of em i wont forget she will though virgie thought wearily as she crossed the yard to back her old car out of the shed that coolheaded young chap from missouri would give lucy two lan guishing looks and reduce her in stantly to the compliant softness of a vanilla custard but the lord so virgie decided looked after the soft women it was the tough ones who could take it who had a hard time the soft ones lay back and whim pered and swiftly somebody else jumped up with a gallant flourish to carry their load and help them over the steep places but an old battleax like me can change her own tires or get herself out of holes nobody bothersl the sun was dropping behind the black rampart of the mountains as virgie drove homeward the eastern slopes sank into pur ple shadows the valleys were lost in a citroncolored mist but beyond the aloof crests coldlooking and for bidding now as the mountains are in winter a saffron line of light burned along the sky virgie admired the brilliance briefly- considered the fact that the almighty seemed to take a lot of trouble to make every act of nature splendid and beauti ful trees could have been dirty brown or gray but they werent even stripped of their leaves they were interesting and graceful and rocks were softened and made lovely by lichen and water fall ferns and the mystery of shad ows storms too were beautiful the piling an of the cl the hery skeleton bones of lightning the silver marching of the ram and fire though it had the color of terror had glory there was the pink and purple of laurel and rhododendron in the spring the white candelabra of dogwood set in the forests in spring the flame of azalea only in making man had the fine brush and chisel of the creator clipped men were a rry piece of work so virgie thout dreary to look at most of them full ot silly hates and greedinesses schemes ta defeat and destroy each other all- lo no profit wars and politics angcrb and absurdities these men had made going on their scrambling way add ing little to the beauty and serenity iif the world the black scald bns tling with broken burned trunks and charred stumps men had done that mank presly had a still up there somewhere and his fire had tot away from him burned up the still and six kegs of raw whisky be fore it tore down the ridge to ruin four or five hundred acres of fair timber and with it had gone thou sands of virgie s little seedling trees surveying this blackened months- old ruin virgie thought of tom the man cragg lived on and tqm stubbornly refused to be released from the jail he was a fanatic old tool he had gone a little mad as lonely old men sometimes do and here was wallace withers scheming to cheat her and she was alone with no one to go to for the steady tng courage that comes with ap proval fires were burning in the house for a wonder and marian was curled in a big chair under her fathers portrait marian stayed alone too much lately was too still wallace withers is coming here tonight to sell me some timber virgie said at dinner i want you to go and get lucy then both of you stay around i dont trust that old man and i want somebody to hear every word that he says why doesnt he come to the of flee if he wants to talk business why does he come to the house marian asked virgie was a little bothered to find an answer for this it was in credible of course that wallace might still be harboring some mad idea that his proposal would again be listened to i dont know she said he wrote me a letter im telling you what he said hes come here be fore o thats just it mother marian sat up a little straighter and looked a trifle grim doesnt it ever occur to you that you are supposed tb be a wealthy widow virgie buttered a biscuit her mouth dragged into a dry grin if anything like that did occur to me all id have to do is go down to the bank and have a heart-to- heart talk with some facts and fig ures thats about the most awak ening thing i know of what is all this have you seen a peacockblue roadster you cant live without im not talking about myself im talking about wallace withers he hasnt any wife he isnt an old man not terribly old oh that virgie was scornful he got ideas weeks ago he did ask me to marry him i guess he knows by now that im not inter ested and you refused him marian asked sharply i did you want him for a step father i didnt thmk youd like going over there to tive in that moldy old house with no bghts and no well heavens no but mother marians voice rose almost to a wail you never mentioned it you never told me if anything like that happened to me id tell you would you i seem to remember a renfro boy one ie oh that awful ntl as though i would consider a boy like that i well im noi considering wal lace withers either rlor anybody else i felt like a fool jie made me mad and i went off in one of my tantrums then young wills came stumbling in here and so much has happened since i forgot all about it marians eyes cooled withdrew then turned upon her mother intent ly it hasnt occurred to you has it mother that all these things that have happened ugly destructive things that have never happened to t us before began after you hired ber went over day before yes branford wills to work in the mill erd and led foreclosure suits the mill what virgie straightened up the poker in her hand what are you talking about im talking marian went on a little breathlessly about ruined pulp and fires set to bljrntheplntv about tracks being torn up and cars wrecked and shipments delayed they could be significant couldnt they they could mean that men whove worked for you for- ever dont want to work with your arrogant young mr wills there could be virgie said slowly a wilder idea than that there could be but i doubt if there ever was how could any crazy nut believe that he could get rid of wills by ruining me and why are you so poisonous against wills anyway hes a nice chap he can be a lot of help to me a sick ugly doubt crept like a foulfooted creature through marian morgans mind older women dfd get sentimental ideas about young men it couldnt be she fought the thought away furiously herplen did courageous capable mother low to letsucn a suspicion creep into her brain she breathed deep and threw back her head and be cause she had to ignore and defeat it or be tortured endlessly she man aged a cool remoteness it was an idea i had i dont think its insane i think its quite reasonable marian said as she walked to the door her eyes more like davids than ever lucy settled herself with her note book and pencil when marian brought her back sc in her cheeks her eyes as excited as though she was about to attend seance manan said do i have to listen when old withers comes or is it all right to go on reading you don t have to listen unless you want to i just want plenty of people around when i have to talk to thai old scoot whyon earth are yu so nervous mother if its just a business deal im not nervous snapped vir gie putting down the ashtray she was fiddling with why should i be nervous you have been ive noticed it for days you know it mother its because so many things are happening defended lucy brightly im nervous myself every time 1 open a filing cabinet i halfway expect a bomb to go off youve been listening to mystery for that piece so you skinned around and got in ahead of me that wasnt a neighborly thing to do what do you want tor jt7 virgie wasted no words withers studied his knuckles elab orately i didnt come up here to talk about the benneti timber vir gie it aint for sale 1 got other things on my mind i reckon youve heard that two fellers from up east name of hooper and payne have got claims allowed by the court on that piece nf stuff tom pruitt claims he owns on hael fork 1 heard it jbui they wont tim- suits for tom so if you got roped into that business and came up here to argue about it wallace you might as well save your breath toms in jail but he isnt friendless hes an old man a mountain man and he dealt with those skunks like amoun- would do bui the law btittiim out ot what is his ujfeaj help it i fnl i ome here to talk about jpruitt either wallace went on though 1 night as well lei you vour foipi n iure buit wont inter- wit mjoper and payne not likely theres claims that come ahead i iirsiniorjgages claims that hdve got priority in law whji claims labor claims a mechanics lien supersedes most any other kind of claim you know that i reckon when did any mechanic ever set foot or hazel fork there was roads built there and gradin done and gravel hauled migiuy sorry roads and mighty little of them is left now that aint here nor there vir gie the men who built em never got paid so this hooper and payne and that man cragg i suppose bought up the labor claims the court allowed the claims they hold they financed this phil lips bunch and all they got was notes and hens with pruitts lien standing ahead of em they had to protect themselves but theyre business men and thev thmk this but wallace refused to be burried plays on the radio marian drawled we dont have a radio lucy returned calmly wallace withers came promptly he had on his funeral suit he was blueshaven and rather pompous he looked doubtful when marian and lucy fields were introduced i came up here to talk busi ipss he began lucy knows all my business virgie was short and you can talk ipfnrc my daughter withers settled himself a bit un itsily m david morgans high unkcd chair virgie sat straight nrl urn
