Loveliest of all lasses in the village by the sea was Pearl, the old fisherman's daughter. David Mallory had watched her grow to womanhood. One day he realized that Pearl loved his brother, Alan. Then a girl came to the village who was not like the simple fisher lasses, and Alan forgot Pearl. His infatuation for the novelist grew apace. Gossips carried the news to David and to Pearl. The girl was heartbroken; David accosted his brother and demanded an explanation. Hot words passed between them. Shrinking beside the window of the cabin, Pearl saw Alan rush out of the door, followed by David. At her touch on his arm, David turned. "Alan said I was making a fool of myself over the lady novelist," he stammered. At the same instant, Alan burst into the novelist's cabin and demanded passionately that she marry him. Fearing violence, she temporized, "I will marry you tomorrow," she said, and with that promise Alan went joyfully away. Next day he saw a young city fellow enter the girl's cabin, her fiancé, for whom she had telegraphed. When he realized that he had been tricked, a revolver flashed in his hand. David, who had followed his brother, flung himself upon the furious lad and disarmed him. The pity of it was that Pearl, too, had seen what passed. To David's pleas on his brother's behalf she was deaf. If only David would see, but he did not, so she threw maiden modesty to the winds. "Speak for yourself, David," she whispered.
