CHAPTER THIRTY-SLX A \ QUINT AND - Sablina buried Becky's baby early the next morning. A cleared square of land on a back road had been designated as a burial ground for the settlement but there were only three bodiep there as yet and the little grave Quint dug looked small and lonely. Jennet had not gone with them; exhausted by her experiences of the day before she was still sleeping»when they left the tavern. Mistress Sabrina stood a moment looking down at the loose earth over the grave. Her lips were moving—-Quint thought she was repeating some prayer. Then she lifted her head and he saw a great sadnesa in her eyea, For Cordy Mosedale'a offspring T He himself considered it providential that the infant had not lived. They would not need her any longer, she told Quint, in the afternoon. Becky would be up and about tn a few daya Quint remembered the company of regulars, half of them drunk, \ whom he had met onthd Guide ' Poet Road. “Pm not sure It is safe for you, these days, there alone in that cabin. why not stay oh here with .us ?

He paused in sudden embarrassment Mistress Sabrina had not spoken of Rhoda’s absence but she must have noticed it “My wife is away on a prolonged \ visit She may be gone the winter.* Mistress Sabrina shook herhead. “I’m safe. lam not afraid.”' \ Quint brought her horse out and she mounted it and rode away. “She isn’t like anyone else in the whole world, is she. Uncle Quint?” said Jennet , “Like no one," affirmed Quint “Unless it’s Hagar.” Yes, Hagar. Both were silent for a moment thinking lovingly •°f Hagar. Then Jennet asked, “But how does Mistress Sabrina \ know things before they happen? I She knew she was needed here.. .* “Some sensitivity greater than most possess..." Quint offered it almost unwillingly. Until' now he ! had liked to discount the old woman’s prophecies—to take them seriously reflected oa | one’s common sense, but now he had to credit her with some occult power. | Becky was downstairs again in a few days, her terror over her labor apparently forgotten.

loss of her baby. Quint suspected I that both had left more of a mark . on Jennet Jennet was quieter, i and there was a more mature I look on her face. Quint told her of what had hapi pened at the (shipyard. He had > net been there since that afterI noon; he was still bitter over the commandeering of the brig and , resentful that Dan did not share i his feelings. Dan had come one i evening to the tavern, full of talk of the naval campaign planned to free the great lakes of the British i strength that commanded them. , Ships were in the process of coni struction up the lake at Presqu’ile; he’d sat up late these past nights drawing Dians with younfc Cam- • cron tor th* small craft they would build at the yard,. The prise they had captured had been brought in —ln sorry shape but not beyond repair. The sailors Cameron had With him were a Ittry lot, but there were some good shipwrights among them and Cameron knew how to make them work. The Fronchles were staying. There were two good smiths, too. Dan repeated it all with a gleam tn his old eyes that had not been there since Erron went away. 1 listening to him, Quint had felt deserted by a friend as well as a partner in enterprise. _ 4 But Jehnet did not sass ffim. “They’ve taken the brig?” she cried indignantly when he came to that fact in his story. “They will pay for it—they may pay for it,” amended Quint with all he thought of that in his voice. And Jennet shared his thought. “As if money could pay for taking it!” And then, aa it did so often, her mood changed on the instant. “Though, Uncle Quint, it’ll be—sort of glorious, to have the brig in thia war! As if—as if we were fighting ourselves, you and I—and Dan!” \ ”. He did not tell her that he refused to see it in that light. He was disappointed at her change of heart, stung, rebuked somehow. He did hot say to her that thia talk of naval victories was probably as empty as all that talk of sweeping invasions into Canada Which had got no further than petty squabbles among the officers planning them. ■ - •' With the approachxjf Christmas, thera was scornful talk of the new officer whs h*4 succeeded General Van Rensselaer in command of the i'~ > I " ' -■ 17 ' ’ i

If they’d all go away from the frontier, thought Quint with a Weary scorn, these vainglorious officers and their underfed, undisciplined soldiers, there - would be peace, at least here. There was peace in his household. Sarah and Becky and Jennet were managing it, not with Rhoda’s efficiency, but well enough. He could leave, it to them. The two younger girls spent the evenings jefore the fire in the parlor, and he often sat with them there. Jennet, was continuing Becky's lessons; it was arithmetic now. “She learhs very fast. Uncle Quint,” said Jennet one evening, her voice full of pride in her pupiL She’s going into division soon.” Becky looked proud of herself, top. Her trouble over, she had lost the shrinking manner she had had, held her head higher. Along with arithmetic she Was learning from Jennet little graces of movement And speech.
