But during those\ndays of his enforced idleness a change came over the\npeople of Rathard. It was nothing dramatic, but more a\nsubtle sxidt anu shift in the pattern they wove ceaselessly\nand unfittingly as a background to their lives.\n\nThe weight of the farm-work had fallen on Frank.\nThe young man found himself immersed once more in those\nduties that he had relinquished, in his despondency, to\nHamilton. Now he undertook them so cheerfully and\npainstakingly that a suspicion naturally entered Sarah\u2019s\nmind. Naturally, that is to say, because having the clay\nof avarice in her own heart, she assumed that Hamilton's\nbrother was now seizing this chance to reinstate himself\nas master of the Echin farm. Yet she knew that her\nsuspicion was foolish, in a week or two Hamilton would\nbe well again. And Frank himself had never been so\nconsiderate in his attitude to his brother, so genial\nand yet non-commitai with herself.\n\nBut she could not rid herself of the impression\nthat something of great importance had happened to Frank\non the evening that Hamilton had been wounded.As she\nwatched she realised that Frank\u2019s happiness had no\nconnection with his brother s mishap. Once more she\nwent over the events of that evening. Frank had been to\nthe school fete, already sne had thought of him meeting\na girl there but had thrust the idea out of her mind for\nreasons that she declined to examine too closely, but\nnow, the more she pondered on it, the more she realised\nthat this was the only explanation.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
