Thanksgiving
KATHLEEN did not GO to the
N veranda to watch the sunrise
the next morning. Instead, she
went to bed to sleep soundly for
many hours and then to dream of
Donald Macdonald and a painted
canyon, and of legal seals coming
up from the stream to run Donald
and herself to the caving tops of
Gregory cots.
The days went sliding along and
the snow held as though awaiting
its cue to fall. Kathleen and
Bridget felt as though they were
awaiting some cue. Their patients
returned home. the nurses re-
turned to the mine. and life fell
into routine.
The miniature castles Kathleen
had designed for the Gregory
miners were discarded and in their
place she sketched and planned
practical cottages with Jar closets
and enough ground around each
% grow vegetables for the jars.
There was also community hall
and in addition to the dance hall,
which could be turned into an
auditorium. and the billiard room
the Macdonald hall boosted. there
was sewing room. nursery and
kitchen.

them to join her family for
Thanksgiving and they had ac-
cepted with pleasure.
