Where is she ?" "I will call her," said Mrs.Comstock.
She followed the path again, and this time found Elnora sitting on the log.

Her face was swollen and discoloured, and her eyes red with crying.
She paid no attention to her mother.
"Mag Sinton is here," said Mrs.Comstock harshly.

"I told her you had changed your mind, but she said you asked her to go with you, and she had nothing to go for herself." Elnora arose, recklessly waded through the deep swamp grasses and so reached the path ahead of her mother.

Mrs.Comstock followed as far as the garden, but she could not enter the cabin.

She busied herself among the vegetables, barely looking up when the back-door screen slammed noisily.
