Very sweet and tender and beautiful Stephen looked at this moment. The strong lines of her face were softened by the dark fire in her eyes and the feeling which glowed in the deep blushes which mantled her cheeks. The proudness of her bearing was no less marked than ever, but in the willowy sway of her body there was a yielding of mere sorry pride. In all the many moods which the gods allow to good women there is none so dear or so alluring, consciously as well as instinctively, to true men as this self-surrender. As Leonard drew near, Stephen sank softly into a seat, doing so with a guilty feeling of acting a part. When he actually came into the grove he found her seemingly lost in a reverie as she gazed out over the wide expanse in front of her. He was hot after his walk, and with something very like petulance threw himself into a cane armchair, exclaiming as he did so with the easy insolence of old familiarity:

Her greeting was all sweetness: she was charmed to see him. How was his father, and what was the news? Miss Rowly looked on with smiling visage. She too had seen the look of admiration in his eyes, and it pleased her. Old ladies, especially when they are maiden ladies, always like to see admiration in the eyes of young men when they are turned in the direction of any girl dear to them.

For a while she stood at the edge of the cliff, and looked at the turmoil of the tide churning on the rocks below. Her heart went out in a great burst of thankfulness that it was her hand which had been privileged to aid in rescuing so dear a life. Then she looked around her. Ostensibly it was to survey the ruined house; but in reality to search, even then under her lashes, the whole green expanse sloping up to the windmill for some moving figure. She saw that which made her throat swell and her ears to hear celestial music. But she would not allow herself to think, of that at all events. She was all woman now; all-patient, and all-submissive. She waited the man; and the man was coming!

Remarks by the President at the National Fire and Emergency Services DinnerĀ 

Washington Hilton

Washington, D.C. 7:08 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. (Applause.) Please be seated.Thank you all very much. Thank you for that warm welcome. I'm honoredto be your President, and I'm honored to be a proud backer of theCrawford Texas Volunteer Fire Department. (Laughter and applause.) Anybody here from -- AUDIENCE MEMBER: We love you, George! (Laughter.) THE PRESIDENT: I was hoping somebody would be here from theCrawford Volunteer Fire Department. (Laughter.) It's a long drivefrom Crawford, but thanks for coming. (Laughter.) This evening, we pay a fitting tribute to our nation's firstresponders, the men and women who answer America's alarms. Yours isone of the highest callings in our country, and one of the hardest.Your neighborhoods depend on you, and so does your country. And you'venever let us down. It's good to be here with Hal Bruno. This man was one of thefinest names in TV journalism. You know him as a champion of fallenfirefighters, and a champion of their families. And as a lifelongvolunteer, Hal, you have the respect of the people in this room, and wethank you for your service. (Applause.) And America has come to know my friend, a steady and strong man,the man I picked to be the FEMA Director, Joe Allbaugh. I'm proud of-- (applause.) There's something reassuring about old Joe.(Laughter.) It might be his haircut. (Laughter.) But I know himwell, and trust him because he's got a big heart. And as Hal just toldme, I'm proud of the fact that he's welcome in any firehouse inAmerica. (Applause.) And I give my thanks to a former volunteer fire chief, an eloquentformer volunteer fire chief -- the man who founded the CongressionalFire Service's Caucus, my friend, Congressman Curt Weldon. (Applause.) I want to thank Chief Dave Paulison for his willingness to serveour country. I want to thank the congressmen who are here -- StenyHoyer; as well as Rob Andrews. I understand that Senator Biden andSenator Sarbanes are to be here. They might be trying to pass somelegislation right now -- I hope. (Laughter.) I've got a fewsuggestions in mind if they -- (laughter) -- if they're interested.But I want to thank the members of the Congress who are here. Thankyou for taking time out of your evenings to be here and support thisreally important evening. I want to thank Chief Nigro, Chief Plaugher, and Chief Shaffer fortheir leadership and for leading the Pledge of Allegiance. And I wantto thank you all for being such fine Americans. This annual event recognizes more than a million Americans whoaccept the difficult and dangerous work of fighting fires.(Applause.) At this hour, across our country, career and volunteerfirefighters are waiting for the next call, and prepared for anythingthat might come. Every one of them knows the risk that may be onlyminutes away, and every firefighter has made a decision. It has beensaid that a firefighter's first act of bravery is taking an oath tobecome a firefighter. We often read about surveys that ask Americans whom they trust andrespect the most. In addition to their own family, one of the groupsthe young people of America most often name is the firefighters of ourcountry -- and rightly so. (Applause.) You defend us against humanity's oldest enemy. In many ways,modern societies have gained control over fire. We have invented newmethods of detecting fires and new practices to prevent them. Yet weknow there will always be fires, and someone will have to face theflames. America will always need the kind of people who do that work.There is no substitute for the raw courage of the firefighter. On September the 11th, the world saw once again the true meaning ofheroism. Thousands of lives were saved from certain death by thecourage of rescuers. Thousands were killed in the attack on ourcountry. But not one of the victims was abandoned. Undoubtedly, for many who died that terrible day, the last voicethey heard was the voice of a rescuer. A woman who lost her daughterat the World Trade Center has written this: "We do not know what Ann'sfinal time on Earth was like. But one thing we do know; if she wereconscious of being in a fire, she would have known that somewherefiremen were looking for her, and if it were humanly possible, theywould save her, or give their lives trying. She learned that as afireman's daughter." Another fireman's daughter is here this evening, along with herthree brothers and their mom, Rosalie. They are the family of ChiefRay Downey, who will always be remembered as one of the heroes ofSeptember the 11th. (Applause.) Those who knew him would tell him-- tell you he was the bravest of the brave, a fireman's fireman. Andtoday I proudly sign legislation designating a post office in DeerPark, New York, as the Raymond M. Downey Post Office Building.(Applause.) It is our job to make sure that our country does not forget thesacrifices of that day, and the valor of those who made them. We'llremember all the innocent people who were murdered, and the terroristleaders who sent the murderers. And we'll remember our mission: torun down the terrorists one by one and bring them to justice.(Applause.) I can't imagine what went through their minds when they wereplotting this horrible evil. You know, they must have thought Americawas so materialistic, so self-centered, so self-absorbed, so weak thatall we were going to do was file a lawsuit. (Laughter.) They foundout we think a little different here in America. (Applause.) These people are nothing but cold-blooded killers. And that'sexactly how we're going to treat 'em. There is no cave --(applause). There's not a calendar on my desk that says, you know, yougot to quit by this date. I'm patient; so's the American people.We're united. You see, when it comes to defending that which we holddear, we're plenty tough, and we hold our freedoms dear. (Applause.) This is a different kind of war than we're used to in America. Thedays after September the 11th, I told the American people, and I'mtelling them every chance I get, that this will be a war that will befought on many fronts. Sometimes we'll use our military; sometimeswe'll cut off their money; sometimes, we'll conduct operations that noone will see -- except the enemy when we grab 'em. (Applause.) I want you to know we're making good progress. But it's going totake a long time. It's going to take a lot longer than some of thecalendar watchers would like. But that's okay. Because we've got theresolve. Much to the chagrin of the enemy, this nation has the resolveand the desire and the will to do what it takes to defend our freedoms,and to make sure our children and our grandchildren can grow up in afree and peaceful world. (Applause.) I sent up -- I sent up a budget to Congress that reflects thenature of the war we're in. It's a big increase, no question aboutit. It's a $48-billion increase for our Armed Forces. It's thelargest increase in defense spending since Ronald Reagan. (Applause.) And it's necessary. Here's my attitude. If we put our soldiers inharm's way, they deserve the best equipment, they deserve the besttraining, they deserve the best support possible from the United Statesof America. (Applause.) I've also made homeland security a priority in the budget, with$3.5 billion in proposed spending for our country's first responders.(Applause.) We must prepare our country for whatever emergency maycome and commit new resources to train and equipment our firefighters,our police, and EMS crews all around the country. You know, people oftentimes ask me what can they do to help fightin the war against terror. Firefighters answer that call every day.But there are other ways to fight in the war against terror, as well.If you want to fight evil, do some good. If you want to join the waragainst terror, love your neighbor just like you'd like to be lovedyourself. (Applause.) That's why I'm calling on people to join the USA Freedom Corps, andone of the initiatives is to help our firefighters and police and EMSteams -- have volunteers support you all, have elderly help out inNeighborhood Watch. I mean, there are ways citizens can join in thiswar against terror. And there are other ways, as well. If you mentor a child, you'redoing some good. If you say to a shut-in, what can I do to help youout, you're doing some good. If you go to your church or synagogue ormosque and help people feed the hungry, you're doing some good. And it's the millions of acts of kindness and compassion whichstand squarely in the face of evil. I am so proud -- (applause.) Iam so proud of the way America has responded. You know, I think we'rebeginning to defeat the old culture which said, if it feels good, justgo ahead and do it, and if you've got a problem, blame somebody else.You've lived the culture of personal responsibility, of beingresponsible for something greater than yourself. That's what thefirefighter does. And making the sacrifice and risking your life,you're a part of a movement, of a culture that says, it's important toserve something greater. That was best seen in Flight 93. It's one of the moments that I'llnever forget -- when brave men and women on a flight were told viatelephone on the plane that America was under attack, and they,themselves, had become a weapon. They said to their loved ones, theytold their loved ones they loved them, they said a prayer, one guysaid, "let's roll," and they drove an airplane in the ground, to servesomething greater than themselves in life. Out of this evil will come incredible good in America. Out of theevil done to our country will come more peace in the world, a cultureof personal responsibility, a willingness to serve something greaterthan ourselves in life. The enemy thought they hit a weak nation.But, instead, they hit the greatest nation on the face of the Earth.And it is my honor to be the President of the greatest nation.(Applause.) Thank you all. May God bless you. (Applause.) END 7:26 P.M.
