Someone didn't do their research properly, I guess.
Barnabas came back to Maggie with a weary look on his gaunt face. "You belong here," he said. "You must not leave. Maggie, I watched you with David tonight. He's so fond of you. And you of him. Everything can still work out. Believe me." Maggie was gazing at him in wide-eyed wonder. "I do believe you," she said, surprised at the way she felt -- at the intensity of her feelings for this man she'd known for such a short while. "You see," he said. "I feel as if I've known you for ever so long," she went on. "But we just met." They studied each other with deep affection. Barn- abas smiled down at her, There was a hypnotic some- thing in his face which all at once broke the spell and frightened her. She turned away. Barnabas was close to her. He urged, "Go tell Cousin Elizabeth that you will stay. She wants you. David does. I do." She turned and looked at him. "You do?" "Things will be different. Very different.!" "You make me believe they can be," she said, the magic of his eyes taking hold of her once more. "I'll see that they are," he promised her. They were gazing at each other silently again when Carolyn strode into the room. She stood by the library door fuming. In a taunt voice she said," Mother wants to talk with you, Maggie." Barnabas took it calmly. "And Maggie has some- thing to say to her." He glances at Maggie. "Don't you?" Maggie was staring at him. "How did you persuade me? How?" Barnabas smiled. "It is your own decision." Maggie turned to Elizabeth's daughter and exclaimed, "Oh, Carolyn, I'm going to stay!" Carolyn took Maggie's arm and with a backward glance of fury for Barnabas she said, "You'll have to discuss that with Mother!" And the two girls left the room. Barnabas stood alone in the shadows and in a low voice murmured, "Josette! Josette! You have come back to me." |
