So Marjorie stepped out of the lift with the Randolphs, while Elsie went up another floor to her own apartment. Mrs. Randolph had insisted that Miss Graham should be her guest on leaving the hospital, and one of the most comfortable rooms in the apartment had been a.s.signed to her.
It was Mrs. Randolph herself who opened the door for the young people; she was smiling, and looked as if she were pleased about something.
"Has Aunt Jessie gone to bed?" Marjorie asked.
"No, dear, she is in the parlor with Uncle George, and I think she wants to see you."
Barbara hurried her mother off to her room, to tell of the events of the evening, and Beverly followed, at a mysterious signal from Mrs.
Randolph, so Marjorie was the only one to enter the cozy little parlor, where she found her aunt and the doctor sitting on the sofa side by side.
"I just came in for a minute to say good-night," she began. "I've had a lovely evening, and--and--" here Marjorie paused abruptly, struck by something unusual in the faces of her two listeners.
"Is--is anything the matter?" she inquired anxiously.
"Do we look as if there were?" inquired the doctor, and he smiled such a radiant smile that Marjorie's sudden anxiety melted into thin air.
"No, not exactly, but Aunt Jessie looks so--so different. Oh, Aunt Jessie darling, I know something has happened--is it good news?"
"The very best news in the world for me," said the doctor, laughing, while Aunt Jessie drew her niece into her arms, and hid her smiling, blus.h.i.+ng face on Marjorie's shoulder. "Your aunt has promised to give me something that I want more than anything else. Marjorie, do you think you would like to have me for an uncle?"
"And that was just the crowning happiness of all," said Marjorie, when she and Elsie were talking things over half an hour later. "I thought I was just as happy as any girl could be before, but when I saw that look on Aunt Jessie's face, and thought of all she had suffered, and how brave she had been, it seemed as if my heart would burst with gladness.
It's just the most beautiful ending to a beautiful winter."
"I wish I had done more to make the first part of the winter happy,"
said Elsie, with a remorseful sigh. "I don't see why you didn't hate me, Marjorie; I'm sure I deserved it."
"Why, I couldn't," said Marjorie, simply, "you were my own cousin, you know."
Elsie went up to her cousin, and put her arms round her. That was such an unusual proceeding from cold, undemonstrative Elsie that Marjorie was speechless with astonishment.
"I believe you are the best girl in the world, Marjorie," she said, unsteadily. "I'm not worthy of your friends.h.i.+p, but if you will really love me, and forgive me for all the mean, hateful things I've done, I will try to deserve it--I will indeed."
