downy thing with bright black eyes and crowded full of lively motion where
keep them together. We see a worm turn to a butterfly and go on unconcerned.
We see a baby begin to walk and to talk, and we behave as though that were to
be expected—and so it is, for we live in the midst of marvellous happenings,
as I began by saying.
And here were Rose and Ruth in the thick of the miracle of spring. Only
yesterday there was nothing much to speak of. Just a beginning, a hint, a mist
burning with yellow and rose, windflowers nodded, and Marmie’s snowdrops and
crocuses were all abloom along the south wall of the house. There was a
over the yellowest crocus.
The girls were wild for the school hours to pass—Marmie always taught them,
for there was no school within reach—so that they could be out in it all. And
“Be home by sunset, dears,” she had said, “and have a good time. There are
many, many nice things in this old world, but being a child in spring is one
of the best.”
They had a wonderful day of it, and each of them had caught plenty of fish,
fine fellows that would make dandy eating for supper. Lunch had been
delicious, and the spring day increasingly beautiful. Now, in the warm, mild
afternoon, they felt delightfully12 lazy.
hung up on the limb of a tree, where it reached the water. Side by side the
sisters lay, their heads resting on their saddles, drinking in the lovely day
through every pore.
“Winter’s really gone,” remarked Rose, dreamily. “And what a splendid
winter it’s been, Ruth.”
“Yep. We haven’t been a bit lonely this year, just because of Fairy
Honeysqueak. She’s given us a lot of glorious experience, hasn’t she?”
“It’s some time since we’ve seen—I mean heard her. I wonder if she isn’t
coming any more, now that spring is here at last? I wish we could at least say
good-bye and thank you, don’t you?”
clear and chiming voice they knew and loved so. “For I’m come, and I’m
going to take you one last trip for a sort of farewell, because I’m too busy
now that spring’s here to be able to play any more; and I daresay you’ll not
have any too much time on your hands yourselves.”
“Oh, Fairy Honeysqueak, how sweet and kind of you to come once more. We shall
you. When it’s cold again and you have nothing to do, perhaps you’ll come
back. Please.”
She laughed, and the sound was like the rocking of canterbury-bells atop of
their long stalks, if you could only hear them.
“It has been lots of fun for me too, and maybe I’ll see you next year,
though no one can tell about a fairy,” she answered. “Anyway, here we are
now. And now for our last trip. How about going to Quaker-town to see a small
maid called Darthea Penniston?”
“I’m sure I don’t know what you’ll see or not see; keep your eyes open,
that’s what they’re for. Except that you must shut them now, and grab my
hands tight....”
So that’s what was done, and once more the two felt the singular sensation,
ending in a slight jar, which always accompanied their trips through the Magic
Gate.
They found themselves in a garden, very bright and pretty with many flowers
growing in beds bordered by little box hedges and separated by paths of red
brick. A sun-dial was in the centre of the garden, where the paths met, while
at the bottom of the garden ran a clear stream. Willows bowed over this,
dipping the fine long ends of their slender branches in the water. A couple of
benches stood under these trees. On one of these sat a little girl in a rose-
leghorn with roses round the brim. She seemed to be studying, for there was a
school book open on her knees.
Rose and Ruth were dressed in flowered muslin skirts, very full and reaching
dark-haired maid seated on the bench. She pored over her book, and seemed in
no special good spirits.
Just as they were on the point of speaking she looked up. Instantly a smile
flooded her face like sudden sunshine on a dark day.
Up she jumped and was beside them in an instant.
have promised them if you came that we will go to Hugh’s house after school;
his mother has told him to bring one or two or his school-mates to play in the
garden this afternoon. And they look forward to meeting you. But we must
hurry, we shall be late else, and there is no knowing what that hateful David
Dove may not do in such a case.”
Somewhat to their surprise Rose and Ruth found they had a few books strapped
together under their arms. Evidently school it must be. So with Darthea they
set off, through the gate that opened on a pretty street faced by neat houses,
bound the same way with themselves. Many of these were clad in sober grey,
with white kerchiefs worn fichu-wise on the girls, and broad-brimmed Quaker
hats on the boys.
“How grown-up they look in those funny clothes,” Ruth whispered to Rose.
“Not at all like children. And how gravely they go along.”
Just here two boys, clad like those Ruth was criticising, in full-skirted
hats, sober-hued as mice, came round the corner of another street. When they
saw Darthea and her friends they hastened their steps, and presently bowed
before them gravely.
“This is Hugh Wynne, and his friend Jack Warner, Rose and Ruth. They are
coming with me to your mother’s after school,” she added, turning to the
boys.
“That is fine news,” answered Hugh smiling. “And she will have good cakes
for us, and damson jam, and has promised to play at hide-and-find in the
“What a dear mother you have, Hugh,” Darthea replied. “She is like one of
us, yet so lovely a lady, too.”
Hugh nodded, looking much pleased. By this time the five of them had reached
the school, a brick building rather plain and grim in appearance. The room
where they were to study was long and low, with a huge blackboard at the upper
end, near the master’s desk, and a globe by that. The master himself, a thin
man with a prominent nose on which rested a pair of horn-bowed spectacles, sat
Then he rose and began the afternoon exercises in a high, disagreeable voice.
these he or she stood up, put hands behind back, and answered in the best
manner possible. Often they failed to please the master, however, whereupon he
stand up beside his desk with a paper pinned foolscap fashion on his head, at
Suddenly his eye fell on Ruth, and pointing a long finger at her, he asked her
“What did you say, sir?” she asked, her voice trembling a little.
“You know very well what I said,” returned the teacher, in a cold, slow way.
“Answer me at once, or ’twill be the worse for you.”
Ruth looked helplessly at Rose, who flushed, fire leaping into her eyes.
“My sister is not a liar,” she said, addressing the teacher. “She told you
she didn’t hear what you asked her, and she didn’t. Ask it again.”
Darthea jumped to her feet.
“These are friends of mine, sir,” she called out, though her voice shook
more than Ruth’s had done. “They do not know the ways of this school yet,
and have only come this morning for trial.”
“Ha,” exclaimed the teacher. “Then, since they are no scholars of mine, and
and take a whipping for them.”
motionless. Then they rushed after her, and all three came to halt before the
master.
The two sisters were shaking with excitement and anger, so unjust and brutal
Mr. Dove, Rose spoke.
“Do you mean to say you are going to hit her! A man, and ... and ... you
coward!”
For Rose had never imagined such a thing as this.
”
the boys, including Hugh and Jack, stood up. The master 281faced the crowd of
children for an instant, his eyes glittering.
“I will take this to your parents,” he said presently, looking icily around
the room. Motioning to the girls, he added, “Sit down.”
Silently they returned to their places, though their hearts beat hard for some
time. The hour dragged along, and at last the master rose, dismissing the
school. In a moment every one was outside, crowding round the newcomers.
“You’ll catch it yet,” they said. “Wait till he’s had time to think over
what to do.”
“Come along,” said Darthea. Hugh and Jack had quickly joined them, and off
gardens. At the garden gate they were met by Mrs. Wynne, lovely in her Quaker
dress, her eyes as blue as lakes, and a smile on the merriest mouth in the
world.
“So here you are, the little friends of this boy of mine,” she cried. “And
I have a bite or two of good things out in the garden for you. How went it at
school to-day?”
They all told her at once, and she was much interested. “Brave words,” she
said, “and brave behaviour too. And now let us forget all about this unkind
As they went into the garden, where under a sort of summer-house was set a
table looking most hospitably52 loaded, she told them that Hugh’s 282father was
at a friend’s house talking over the troubles between the Colonies and
England.
“Colonel Washington and his lady are in town, up from Virginia on a visit,
and the Colonel is pressing for some decisive action, so I heard your father
say, Hugh. Naturally he is not too pleased at this, being a man of peace.”
“George Washington near here!” It was Rose who ejaculated these words, while
“Yes,” returned Mrs. Wynne, calmly, and turning to Hugh, “your father
thinks him a dangerous man, my son.”
“But, but, can we see him?” stuttered Rose.
Hugh’s mother laughed. “Are you so fond of the soldiers, Rose? But ’tis
long since the colonel served. He is a married man now, very much settled and
with a big estate to take care of in Virginia. Of course you shall see him, if
you wish to. The meeting will be over in half an hour, and he and his friends
will pass here on the way to take a boat down the river.”
“It isn’t only that we love soldiers, it’s because, because....” Rose
couldn’t remember just why it was so important to see Washington, though she
puzzled excitement.
Mrs. Wynne turned to Darthea.
“I hear thy mother is better, child, which is good news. And you make school
a far pleasanter place for Hugh, for which I thank you. Now come and help me
with the tea and cakes.”
“Thank you, Mistress Wynne,” replied Darthea, smiling shyly. “Hugh and Jack
and I have grown good friends at school, even though they be Quakers and I of
Christ Church. May I fill these cups?” And very prettily she set about
boys fell to in high delight, presently joined by Darthea. Then came the
of Rose of Sharon, saw a group of gentlemen appearing down the street.
Instantly she rushed across the lawn, calling out, “Here comes Washington,
here comes Washington,” and waving her arms. Rose was beside her in a moment,
and the rest came laughing, Mrs. Wynne greatly amused at the two girls’
excitement over the Colonel.
“One would think him a hero to hear you two,” she declared. “But be quiet
or Mr. Wynne will not be pleased. Softly now, we will walk down to the gate
and speak to the gentlemen.”
maids in front and Mrs. Wynne, with the boys either side of her, looking
uncommonly62 pretty, behind them. Rose 284and Ruth saw some four or five men,
two of unusual height, one of these in Quaker clothes, the other in a blue
coat and cocked hat, with his hair in a queue ... the great Washington beyond
a doubt!
As soon as they saw the lady the men removed their hats and bowed gravely,
while the tall Quaker, frowning somewhat, asked what was wanted.
“These two maids were desirous of seeing you pass, Colonel Washington,” Mrs.
Wynne told the man in blue, who stood smiling. “They could only tell me
‘because’ when I wanted to know why they were so pressing, but so it was.”
Rose and Ruth blushed, but they looked hard at the wonderful Washington,
smile, as though his mind was busy with thoughts beyond the present moment,
touched them. They curtsied instinctively64, and Darthea did the same, flashing
a mischievous65 look upward as she dropped her bonny head.
“Why these maids should desire to see me is beyond my guessing, Mistress
Wynne,” he replied to the lady. “But after the somewhat grim consultation67 we
have been engaged in, I know it is a pleasure to look on them.”
Every one bowed once more, and with another smile at the young girls,
Washington turned to resume his way, bending once again to the speech 285of
Mr. Wynne. The other men had meanwhile strolled on ahead.
The boys and Mrs. Wynne turned back to the house, but Rose, Ruth and Darthea
remained hanging over the gate, watching their hero depart. At the street
corner the group turned and disappeared. With a sigh the girls were about to
follow their hostess into the house, when Rose noticed something lying on the
pavement just where the men had turned.
“They’ve dropped something ... see!” she said, pointing this out to the two
others.
“So they have!”
“Let’s go after them....”
And through the gate they flew, down the street, and there Rose picked up a
wallet, initialled G. W.
Already the men were out of sight. There stood the three girls, the wallet in
Rose’s hands, all their eyes big with the wonder of it. What to do next?
“We must take it to him,” Darthea said. “He may not miss it until he is on
board, and so too late.”
It certainly seemed the thing to do. With a backward glance at the house, but
in vain so far as seeing Mrs. Wynne or the boys went, the three set briskly
off down the street.
“You know the way, do you, Darthea?” Ruth panted, as they flew along.
“Oh yes! It is not far. Two turns, and then straight down to the river and
the dock where the ship lies. Is this not fortunate? But how fast they have
gone.”
They reached the next corner just in time to see the Colonel with Mr. Wynne
turn again out of sight. Passers-by stared at them, for the streets of
Philadelphia were unused to seeing three girls, bare-headed and panting,
hurrying frantically69 along.
“We won’t,” Rose returned. “Look, there’s the river now.”
There was the flash of water, to be sure, and the street down which Darthea
now led them stepped to its edge. At the foot of it there was a dock, busy
with all the stir of departing ships and arriving passengers. Sailors were
other, women and children too were to be seen.
Grasping the wallet firmly, and closely pursued by Ruth and Darthea, Rose
soldier was stationed, and as the three came running up, looking everywhere
for Colonel Washington or the men of his party, he halted them.
“Are you sailing by this ship?” he wanted to know, looking doubtfully at
their hatless state.
“No, but we have something of Colonel Washington’s which he let fall on the
way here,” said 287Rose. “Let us in quickly, so that we can find him before
the ship sails.”
The man hesitated. “Colonel who? I know him not. What game are you playing?”
Wynne appeared on deck, coming toward the gangway.
Rose flourished the wallet at him. “Make this man let us through,” she
cried. “Colonel Washington dropped this beyond your gate, and we’ve brought
it.”
pass.
“It is not meet for you to come like this,” he said sternly, looking at them
gravely as they came timidly up to him. “Where was Hugh that he could not
have fetched the packet hither?”
“They had gone into the house, and I happened to see it as you all turned the
corner,” explained Rose. “Please, may I give it to the Colonel?” and she
clutched the wallet tightly to her breast.
“Nonsense. Give it to me,” said Mr. Wynne.
Rose stood uncertainly, and Darthea gave her a look of encouragement, just a
flash, but it heartened her.
“I want to give it, please, myself,” she repeated.
Mr. Wynne looked surprised, but before he could say anything Ruth saw the
Colonel, talking with two of the men who had passed their gate, 288standing
just inside a door leading into the ship’s cabin. She slipped hastily up to
him.
sister has brought your wallet, which you dropped....”
Washington clapped his hand to his breast, a look of consternation76 on his
face. “Dropped ... good heavens, so I did,” he exclaimed. “What, your
sister you say?” he added, looking down at Ruth’s flushed face.
Darthea faced Mr. Wynne.
As the two approached, the Colonel stepping eagerly forward, Rose saw him, and
ran to meet him, holding up the precious find.
“Thank you, a thousand thanks,” he said, in his deep voice, as he took the
thing from her hand. “Did you three race hither with this for me? It was a
sweet and thoughtful act, and I cannot tell you how much I am under obligation
to you. Even the temporary loss of this wallet would mean more to me than I
care to think of.”
“But it’s wonderful to do something for you,” returned Rose, and her eyes
filled with tears.
“Dear maid,” said the tall Colonel, touched to the quick, “I hope your
kindness to me will not prove more than I deserve. You have done me no small
smiling so winningly that without an instant’s hesitation79 Rose put hers into
them and lifted her face to be kissed. Then Ruth and then Darthea must have
one too, while they all laughed, even Mr. Wynne.
“Foolish children,” he said. “You must forgive them, Colonel. Since
Braddock’s day, you have been a hero, you know.”
The Colonel shook his head.
“The maids have put me doubly in their debt,” he said. The soldier now

till the Quaker bade them follow him home, and be sensible.
and a chantey rose upward as the sailors worked at the ropes. Rose and Ruth
Darthea they followed the tall Quaker back through the streets, chatting of
the adventure they had had.
“Why do you think so much of Mr. Washington?” Darthea was asking, as they
reached the gate of her house, to which Mr. Wynne had taken them.
It was odd that Rose and Ruth could not quite remember what it was they knew
of him. Surely he ... he....
“Why, he was the Father of his country,” exclaimed Ruth, and at the same
instant Rose actually shouted: “He is the first, the greatest, the man who
made us America.”
But where was Darthea? Where the bricked street, the green-bowered garden, the
stiff figure of the Quaker moving off?
grazing ponies and the sun low in the western sky.
It was time to saddle and get home.
They rode back talking of it, and wondering why they hadn’t been able to tell
Darthea about Washington. But at last Rose thought she understood.
“You see, where we were, it hadn’t happened yet,” she said. “The fairy
took us to the time before Washington had beaten the English and made us a
nation, so of course we didn’t remember ... what hadn’t yet happened.”
“But I almost did,” Ruth asserted.
“Think of having been kissed by Washington,” Rose continued. “I guess
we’ll never forget that, anyhow.”
And they never did, though they never remembered at the right time to tell
Marmie or Dad or anybody else, except once when Rose was talking in her sleep,
her mother heard her say something to the effect that she and Ruth were the
only little girls in America Washington had ever kissed. When she told Rose
about it next morning, the little girl was confused.
“Somehow I think he really did, Marmie ... only I can’t explain,” she said.
But Marmie only laughed, calling her a funny little dreamer.
In the summer that followed Rose and Ruth saw no more of the Winter Fairy who
had taken them on so many delightful11 excursions through the Magic Gate. Often
they talked of her, and occasionally, just before falling asleep, they thought
they caught a faint sound of her voice, almost like moonbeams singing. But of
this they could not be quite sure. When they turned the pages of the books in
which lived the heroines she had taken them to see, it almost seemed to them
at times that she had left the key of that Gate in their hands, and that the
story was real to them ... real as the house in which they lived, real as
themselves.
But when they told this to their mother she smiled, and said it was
imagination, and kissed them.
