There was one night when Mr. Meredith paced his study floor , and Faith and Una huddled in their bedroom and cried , and Jerry , wild with remorse , refused to budge from the floor of the hall outside Carl 's door . Dr. Blythe and the nurse never left the bedside . They fought death gallantly until the red dawn and they won the victory . Carl rallied and passed the crisis in safety . The news was phoned about the waiting Glen and people found out how much they really loved their minister and his children . `` I have n't had one decent night 's sleep since I heard the child was sick , '' Miss Cornelia told Anne , `` and Mary Vance has cried until those queer eyes of hers looked like burnt holes in a blanket . Is it true that Carl got pneumonia from straying out in the graveyard that wet night for a dare ? '' `` No . He was staying there to punish himself for cowardice in that affair of the Warren ghost . It seems they have a club for bringing themselves up , and they punish themselves when they do wrong . Jerry told Mr. Meredith all about it . '' `` The poor little souls , '' said Miss Cornelia . Carl got better rapidly , for the congregation took enough nourishing things to the manse to furnish forth a hospital . Norman Douglas drove up every evening with a dozen fresh eggs and a jar of Jersey cream . Sometimes he stayed an hour and bellowed arguments on predestination with Mr. Meredith in the study ; oftener he drove on up to the hill that overlooked the Glen . When Carl was able to go again to Rainbow Valley they had a special feast in his honour and the doctor came down and helped them with the fireworks . Mary Vance was there , too , but she did not tell any ghost stories . Miss Cornelia had given her a talking on that subject which Mary would not forget in a hurry . CHAPTER XXXII . TWO STUBBORN PEOPLE Rosemary West , on her way home from a music lesson at Ingleside , turned aside to the hidden spring in Rainbow Valley .
She had not been there all summer ; the beautiful little spot had no longer any allurement XXXXX her .
