A girl sat on the mossy river-bank in the dappled, golden sunlight.
Frowning eyes fixed on a sweeping eddy, she watched without seeing
the racing current. Her slim, supple body, crouched and tense, was
motionless, but her soul seethed tumultuously. In the bosom of her
coarse linsey gown lay hidden a note. Through it destiny called her
to the tragic hour of decision. The foliage of the young pawpaws
stirred behind her. Furtively a pair of black eyes peered forth and
searched the opposite bank of the stream, the thicket of
rhododendrons above, the blooming laurels below. Very stealthily a
handsome head pushed out through the leaves. "'Lindy," a voice
whispered. The girl gave a start, slowly turned her head. She
looked at the owner of the voice from steady, deep-lidded eyes. The
pulse in her brown throat began to beat. One might have guessed her
with entire justice a sullen lass, untutored of life, passionate,
and high-spirited, resentful of all restraint. Hers was such beauty
as lies in rich blood beneath dark coloring, in dusky hair and
eyes, in the soft, warm contours of youth. Already she was
slenderly full, an elemental daughter of Eve, primitive as one of
her fur-clad ancestors.
