She
looked up impulsively. "There's one thing,"
she said, "we've had one summer that I shall
always feel would be worth reliving. And
we're going to have more of them."
"I am glad to hear that," Mr. Shaw said.
Pauline looked about her--the lanterns at
the ends of the boats threw dancing lights out
across the water, no longer quiet; overhead,
the sky was bright with stars. "Everything
is so beautiful," the girl said slowly. "One
seems to feel it more--every day."
"'The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the
Lord hath made even both of them,'" her
father quoted gravely.
Pauline drew a quick breath. "The
hearing ear and the seeing eye"--it was a good
thought to take with them--out into the new
life, among the new scenes. One would need
them everywhere--out in the world, as well as
in Winton. And then, from the boat just
ahead, sounded Patience's clear
treble,--"'There's a Good Time Coming.'"
