She also tried to readthem to Abel and Barney, who
did not love them. Bad language and obscene songswere heard.
For the first time in her life she liked going
tochurch. Like agreen moonbeam with a gleam of red in it, if there could be such
athing.
He was very well satisfied withhis bargain. She was
not in the least afraid, with Barney atthe wheel. Cant have any sparkin going onhere
behind my back.
All the money in the world couldnt buy what youre
doing forCissy Gay, said Barney.
She knew much better than Valancywhat a party up
back might be like if there should be liquor. She went to the church because she
likedit and because in some inexplicable way it did her good. She would never have
the courage towear that dress. I dont think theres anything more, said Valancy. And
then she told him a little of her existencebefore she came to Roaring Abels.
Somebody elsesexperience can never be yours. I just want to SEE what a party up back
is like. Isnt it awful that I dont love my mother? For the most part, Abel was a
good-naturedcreature, but occasionally he had a temper.
Old things passed away and all thingsbecame new. He
hadnt the least idea what she was up to, but hewas sure her motive was not
commendable.
He didnt know how she had beenbrought
up.
She was no longer unimportant, little old maid
Valancy Stirling. Neither of his eyebrowslooked like the other.
He did not believeValancy Stirling was out of her
mind.
Another circlet of them went round her hair,dressed
in the low puffs that became her. Valancy could have shaken him in her anger.
