Further Chronicles of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . ONLY A COMMON FELLOW XIV. ONLY A COMMON FELLOW On my dearie's wedding morning I wakened early and went to her room. Long and long ago she had made me promise that I would be the one to wake her on the morning of her wedding day. "You were the first to take me in your arms when I came into the world, Aunt Rachel," she had said, "and I want you to be the first to greet me on that wonderful day." But that was long ago, and now my heart foreboded that there would be no need of wakening her. And there was not. She was lying there awake, very quiet, with her hand under her cheek, and her big blue eyes fixed on the window, through which a pale, dull light was creeping in—a joyless light it was, and enough to make a body shiver. I felt more like weeping than rejoicing, and my heart took to aching when I saw her there so white and patient, more like a girl who was waiting for a winding-sheet than for a bridal veil. But she smiled brave-like, when I sat down on her bed and took her hand. "You look as if you haven't slept all night, dearie," I said. "I didn't—not a great deal," she answered me. "But the night didn't seem long; no, it seemed too short. I was thinking of a great many things. What time is it, Aunt Rachel?" "Five o'clock." "Then in six hours more—" She suddenly sat up in her bed, her great, thick rope of brown hair falling over her white shoulders, and flung her arms about me, and burst into tears on my old breast. I petted and soothed her, and said not a word; and, after a while, she stopped crying; but she still sat with her head so that I couldn't see her face. "We didn't think it would be like this once, did we, Aunt Rachel?" she said, very softly. "It shouldn't be like this, now," I said. I had to say it. I never could hide the thought of that marriage, and I couldn't pretend to. It was all her stepmother's doings—right well I knew that. My dearie would never have taken Mark Foster else. "Don't let us talk of that," she said, soft and beseeching, just the same way she used to speak when she was a baby-child and wanted to coax me into something. "Let us talk about the old days—and HIM." "I don't see much use in talking of HIM, when you're going to marry Mark Foster to-day," I said. But she put her hand on my mouth. "It's for the last time, Aunt Rachel. After to-day I can never talk of him, or even think of him. It's four years since he went away. Do you remember how he looked, Aunt Rachel?" "I mind well enough, I reckon," I said, kind of curt-like. And I did. Owen Blair hadn't a face a body could forget—that long face of his with its clean color and its eyes made to look love into a woman's. When I thought of Mark Foster's sallow skin and lank jaws I felt sick-like. Not that Mark was ugly—he was just a common-looking fellow. "He was so handsome, wasn't he, Aunt Rachel?" my dearie went on, in that patient voice of hers. "So tall and strong and handsome. I wish we hadn't parted in anger. It was so foolish of us to quarrel. But it would have been all right if he had lived to come back. I know it would have been all right. I know he didn't carry any bitterness against me to his death. I thought once, Aunt Rachel, that I would go through life true to him, and then, over on the other side, I'd meet him just as before, all his and his only. But it isn't to be." "Thanks to your stepma's wheedling and Mark Foster's scheming," said I. "No, Mark didn't scheme," she said patiently. "Don't be unjust to Mark, Aunt Rachel. He has been very good and kind." "He's as stupid as an owlet and as stubborn as Solomon's mule," I said, for I WOULD say it. "He's just a common fellow, and yet he thinks he's good enough for my beauty." "Don't talk about Mark," she pleaded again. "I mean to be a good, faithful wife to him. But I'm my own woman yet—YET—for just a few more sweet hours, and I want to give them to HIM. The last hours of my maidenhood—they must belong to HIM." So she talked of him, me sitting there and holding her, with her lovely hair hanging down over my arm, and my heart aching so for her that it hurt bitter. She didn't feel as bad as I did, because she'd made up her mind what to do and was resigned. She was going to marry Mark Foster, but her heart was in France, in that grave nobody knew of, where the Huns had buried Owen Blair—if they had buried him at all. And she went over all they had been to each other, since they were mites of babies, going to school together and meaning, even then, to be married when they grew up; and the first words of love he'd said to her, and what she'd dreamed and hoped for. The only thing she didn't bring up was the time he thrashed Mark Foster for bringing her apples. She never mentioned Mark's name; it was all Owen—Owen—and how he looked, and what might have been, if he hadn't gone off to the awful war and got shot. And there was me, holding her and listening to it all, and her stepma sleeping sound and triumphant in the next room. When she had talked it all out she lay down on her pillow again. I got up and went downstairs to light the fire. I felt terrible old and tired. My feet seemed to drag, and the tears kept coming to my eyes, though I tried to keep them away, for well I knew it was a bad omen to be weeping on a wedding day. Before long Isabella Clark came down; bright and pleased-looking enough, SHE was. I'd never liked Isabella, from the day Phillippa's father brought her here; and I liked her less than ever this morning. She was one of your sly, deep women, always smiling smooth, and scheming underneath it. I'll say it for her, though, she had been good to Phillippa; but it was her doings that my dearie was to marry Mark Foster that day. "Up betimes, Rachel," she said, smiling and speaking me fair, as she always did, and hating me in her heart, as I well knew. "That is right, for we'll have plenty to do to-day. A wedding makes lots of work." "Not this sort of a wedding," I said, sour-like. "I don't call it a wedding when two people get married and sneak off as if they were ashamed of it—as well they might be in this case." "It was Phillippa's own wish that all should be very quiet," said Isabella, as smooth as cream. "You know I'd have given her a big wedding, if she'd wanted it." "Oh, it's better quiet," I said. "The fewer to see Phillippa marry a man like Mark Foster the better." "Mark Foster is a good man, Rachel." "No good man would be content to buy a girl as he's bought Phillippa," I said, determined to give it in to her. "He's a common fellow, not fit for my dearie to wipe her feet on. It's well that her mother didn't live to see this day; but this day would never have come, if she'd lived." "I dare say Phillippa's mother would have remembered that Mark Foster is very well off, quite as readily as worse people," said Isabella, a little spitefully. I liked her better when she was spiteful than when she was smooth. I didn't feel so scared of her then. The marriage was to be at eleven o'clock, and, at nine, I went up to help Phillippa dress. She was no fussy bride, caring much what she looked like. If Owen had been the bridegroom it would have been different. Nothing would have pleased her then; but now it was only just "That will do very well, Aunt Rachel," without even glancing at it. Still, nothing could prevent her from looking lovely when she was dressed. My dearie would have been a beauty in a beggarmaid's rags. In her white dress and veil she was as fair as a queen. And she was as good as she was pretty. It was the right sort of goodness, too, with just enough spice of original sin in it to keep it from spoiling by reason of over-sweetness. Then she sent me out. "I want to be alone my last hour," she said. "Kiss me, Aunt Rachel—MOTHER Rachel." When I'd gone down, crying like the old fool I was, I heard a rap at the door. My first thought was to go out and send Isabella to it, for I supposed it was Mark Foster, come ahead of time, and small stomach I had for seeing him. I fall trembling, even yet, when I think, "What if I had sent Isabella to that door?" But go I did, and opened it, defiant-like, kind of hoping it was Mark Foster to see the tears on my face. I opened it—and staggered back like I'd got a blow. "Owen! Lord ha' mercy on us! Owen!" I said, just like that, going cold all over, for it's the truth that I thought it was his spirit come back to forbid that unholy marriage. But he sprang right in, and caught my wrinkled old hands in a grasp that was of flesh and blood. "Aunt Rachel, I'm not too late?" he said, savage-like. "Tell me I'm in time." I looked up at him, standing over me there, tall and handsome, no change in him except he was so brown and had a little white scar on his forehead; and, though I couldn't understand at all, being all bewildered-like, I felt a great deep thankfulness. "No, you're not too late," I said. "Thank God," said he, under his breath. And then he pulled me into the parlor and shut the door. "They told me at the station that Phillippa was to be married to Mark Foster to-day. I couldn't believe it, but I came here as fast as horse-flesh could bring me. Aunt Rachel, it can't be true! She can't care for Mark Foster, even if she had forgotten me!" "It's true enough that she is to marry Mark," I said, half-laughing, half-crying, "but she doesn't care for him. Every beat of her heart is for you. It's all her stepma's doings. Mark has got a mortgage on the place, and he told Isabella Clark that, if Phillippa would marry him, he'd burn the mortgage, and, if she wouldn't, he'd foreclose. Phillippa is sacrificing herself to save her stepma for her dead father's sake. It's all your fault," I cried, getting over my bewilderment. "We thought you were dead. Why didn't you come home when you were alive? Why didn't you write?" "I DID write, after I got out of the hospital, several times," he said, "and never a word in answer, Aunt Rachel. What was I to think when Phillippa wouldn't answer my letters?" "She never got one," I cried. "She wept her sweet eyes out over you. SOMEBODY must have got those letters." And I knew then, and I know now, though never a shadow of proof have I, that Isabella Clark had got them—and kept them. That woman would stick at nothing. "Well, we'll sift that matter some other time," said Owen impatiently. "There are other things to think of now. I must see Phillippa." "I'll manage it for you," I said eagerly; but, just as I spoke, the door opened and Isabella and Mark came in. Never shall I forget the look on Isabella's face. I almost felt sorry for her. She turned sickly yellow and her eyes went wild; they were looking at the downfall of all her schemes and hopes. I didn't look at Mark Foster, at first, and, when I did, there wasn't anything to see. His face was just as sallow and wooden as ever; he looked undersized and common beside Owen. Nobody'd ever have picked him out for a bridegroom. Owen spoke first. "I want to see Phillippa," he said, as if it were but yesterday that he had gone away. All Isabella's smoothness and policy had dropped away from her, and the real woman stood there, plotting and unscrupulous, as I'd always know her. "You can't see her," she said desperate-like. "She doesn't want to see you. You went and left her and never wrote, and she knew you weren't worth fretting over, and she has learned to care for a better man." "I DID write and I think you know that better than most folks," said Owen, trying hard to speak quiet. "As for the rest, I'm not going to discuss it with you. When I hear from Phillippa's own lips that she cares for another man I'll believe it—and not before." "You'll never hear it from her lips," said I. Isabella gave me a venomous look. "You'll not see Phillippa until she is a better man's wife," she said stubbornly, "and I order you to leave my house, Owen Blair!" "No!" It was Mark Foster who spoke. He hadn't said a word; but he came forward now, and stood before Owen. Such a difference as there was between them! But he looked Owen right in the face, quiet-like, and Owen glared back in fury. "Will it satisfy you, Owen, if Phillippa comes down here and chooses between us?" "Yes, it will," said Owen. Mark Foster turned to me. "Go and bring her down," said he. Isabella, judging Phillippa by herself, gave a little moan of despair, and Owen, blinded by love and hope, thought his cause was won. But I knew my dearie too well to be glad, and Mark Foster did, too, and I hated him for it. I went up to my dearie's room, all pale and shaking. When I went in she came to meet me, like a girl going to meet death. "Is—it—time?" she said, with her hands locked tight together. I said not a word, hoping that the unlooked-for sight of Owen would break down her resolution. I just held out my hand to her, and led her downstairs. She clung to me and her hands were as cold as snow. When I opened the parlor door I stood back, and pushed her in before me. She just cried, "Owen!" and shook so that I put my arms about her to steady her. Owen made a step towards her, his face and eyes all aflame with his love and longing, but Mark barred his way. "Wait till she has made her choice," he said, and then he turned to Phillippa. I couldn't see my dearie's face, but I could see Mark's, and there wasn't a spark of feeling in it. Behind it was Isabella's, all pinched and gray. "Phillippa," said Mark, "Owen Blair has come back. He says he has never forgotten you, and that he wrote to you several times. I have told him that you have promised me, but I leave you freedom of choice. Which of us will you marry, Phillippa?" My dearie stood straight up and the trembling left her. She stepped back, and I could see her face, white as the dead, but calm and resolved. "I have promised to marry you, Mark, and I will keep my word," she said. The color came back to Isabella Clark's face; but Mark's did not change. "Phillippa," said Owen, and the pain in his voice made my old heart ache bitterer than ever, "have you ceased to love me?" My dearie would have been more than human, if she could have resisted the pleading in his tone. She said no word, but just looked at him for a moment. We all saw the look; her whole soul, full of love for Owen, showed out in it. Then she turned and stood by Mark. Owen never said a word. He went as white as death, and started for the door. But again Mark Foster put himself in the way. "Wait," he said. "She has made her choice, as I knew she would; but I have yet to make mine. And I choose to marry no woman whose love belongs to another living man. Phillippa, I thought Owen Blair was dead, and I believed that, when you were my wife, I could win your love. But I love you too well to make you miserable. Go to the man you love—you are free!" "And what is to become of me?" wailed Isabella. "Oh, you!—I had forgotten about you," said Mark, kind of weary-like. He took a paper from his pocket, and dropped it in the grate. "There is the mortgage. That is all you care about, I think. Good-morning." He went out. He was only a common fellow, but, somehow, just then he looked every inch the gentleman. I would have gone after him and said something but—the look on his face—no, it was no time for my foolish old words! Phillippa was crying, with her head on Owen's shoulder. Isabella Clark waited to see the mortgage burned up, and then she came to me in the hall, all smooth and smiling again. "Really, it's all very romantic, isn't it? I suppose it's better as it is, all things considered. Mark behaved splendidly, didn't he? Not many men would have done as he did." For once in my life I agreed with Isabella. But I felt like having a good cry over it all—and I had it. I was glad for my dearie's sake and Owen's; but Mark Foster had paid the price of their joy, and I knew it had beggared him of happiness for life.

ONLY A COMMON FELLOW

Image via pualinevandougen.nl In 2017, Dutch designer Pauline Van Dongen revealed her “Issho jacket” at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas – a smart denim jacket that strokes the wearers back in response to touch. Who is Pauline Van Dongen? Pauline van Dongen is a Dutch fashion designer who specializes in wearable technology. She is one of Europe’s leaders and pioneers in her field. She opened her own design studio, Pauline van Dongen Studio, in 2010, and has collaborated with several tech companies to create different wearable technology garments. The designer is motivated by a desire to make technology more ‘human’ and ‘mindful’. The aim of the studio is to use technology as a way to add value and innovation to fashion. The brand views technology as not just a tool, but rather an aesthetic, focusing on the materiality of the clothing and how that can enhance and change the performance of the body. It is a unique approach to design that uses technology as a means to bring life into the clothing. Aside from the Issho jacket, the studio worked with Dutch sustainable retailers to create a solar power windbreaker, as well as working with leading technology companies to create light-up sportswear. Image via dezeen.com What is Wearable Technology? Wearable technology, also known as “wearables” are a category of technology that can be worn as accessories and/or embedded in clothing. They are made to be able to track, analyze and transmit personal data such as heart rate and sleep patterns. The most popular example of wearable technology is the smart watch. Wearable technology is all about practicality, the aim is to assist the wearer of the clothing in some way. This technological innovation has made strides in the health industry, and has vastly improved people’s lives, especially those with health concerns. An example of wearable technology is the fitness tracker, which is made to aid the consumer in tracking their fitness goals. Now, consumers are able to access the internet, make calls, and access apps with the addition of smart watches. The gaming industry also sells wearable technology, with virtual reality headsets. Wearable technology has greatly advanced over the recent years, expanding from the health industry into the gaming industry with wearable accessories. Recently, wearable technology has expanded even more outside of wearable accessories, and into wearable clothing. Technology is now being embedded into clothing such as sportswear and outerwear in order to enhance and assist the wearer’s in their everyday lives. Image via forbes.com How does Wearable Technology work? Most people are aware of the Fitbit and the Apple watch, of how they function and what they do. Wearable technological accessories have been around for almost a decade, and consumers have become familiar with them. However, wearable technology embedded in clothing is a virtually new phenomenon, here are some of the exciting tech garments that have surfaced over the past few years: – Levi’s partnered with Google to launch their touch-sensitive commuter jacket in 2018. With a tap or a swipe on the sleeve, the jacket allows users to dismiss phone calls, get directions, and listen to music all without touching their phones. Levi’s Commuter trucker jacket – Sydney-based company Wearable X created the Nadi X fitness pants in 2017, they have built-in vibrations that pulse at the knees, hips, and ankles to assist the user in being able to move and/or hold yoga positions. They also sync up to the user’s phone via an app to give feedback on the workout performance. Nadi X yoga pants – this sock is put on babies, it is able to monitor their heart rate, sleeping and breathing patterns, as well as identifying issues such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and different heart defects. Owlet Smart Sock The Issho Jacket Pauline van Dongen’s Issho jacket uses conductive , sensors, and motorized parts. When integrated all together it gives the wearer the feeling of a “gentle stroke” on the upper back. By doing so, it invites the wearer to be in the present moment. The jacket uses senses that detect if the wearer is constantly reaching for their phone, giving a physical response back to them. fibres “Issho motivates the wearer to be more aware and present through the sensations experienced when wearing the jacket,” said the designer, who designed the unisex jacket to “wrap around the wearer like a cocoon” with a high collar and zip on the lower back, the jacket creates a feeling of security while simultaneously creating more room for the wearer. Van Dongen stated that she particularly wanted to work with denim fabric because denim is familiar to everyone. “I particularly wanted to work with denim fabric because it’s a material that everyone can identify with – everyone has a piece of denim in their wardrobe,” van Dongen states. Unlike the garments competitors, the Issho jacket works without a smartphone, which according to van Dongen, was done deliberately to “move away from using gadgets as interface”. Instead, it features its own microcontroller that is automatically turned on when it senses the jacket being worn. Van Dongen presented this garment at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas in March 2017. SXSW is an annual festival that celebrates music, film, art, and technology. Gif via giphy.com The Verdict Although wearable technology has been around for almost a decade, there is still progress to be made in the industry. There is so much room for creativity within wearable technology and the industry is still fairly new, it will be exciting to see brands release new wearable technology garments as new advancements are being made every day. Will wearable technology be the norm in ten years? Will it be more accessible and affordable for all?

The DePIN sector is experiencing a surge, drawing attention as more people recognize its potential in reshaping the digital landscape. Recently, a viral poll, conducted by CoinList, asked users, “What category of projects do you want to see most on CoinList?” DePIN emerged as the top choice, a testament to its rising prominence. Following this, U2U Network - a DePIN-focused Layer 1, announced a collaboration with CoinList for an exclusive incentivized mainnet campaign. This means U2U Network is the first DePIN project to launch a growth campaign on CoinList in Q4 2024. DePIN - Beyond a Passing Trend DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) stands out as one of today’s promising technologies, challenging the skepticism often directed at the blockchain industry. Unlike fleeting trends, DePIN aims to represent a foundational shift in managing infrastructure. By decentralizing essential services such as computing, energy, and telecommunications, DePIN delivers scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency that surpass the usual capabilities of centralized systems. This innovation could mark the next wave of technological progress - one that democratizes access and unlocks wealth-generation opportunities for communities historically excluded from economic advancement. DePIN’s impact is poised to be more than incremental, serving as a catalyst for widespread change. The DePIN sector is gaining attention but also substantial investment as well, with a market capitalization exceeding $33.6 billion (Coingecko). Esteemed venture capitalists have begun investing in innovative DePIN projects, underscoring the sector’s vast potential. According to a 2023 report by Messari, the market potential for DePIN is valued at $2.2 trillion, with projections to surge to $3.5 trillion by 2028. To date, leading DePIN projects have collectively secured over $1 billion in funding, illustrating the growing confidence of investors in this space. Acknowledging the potential thrive of DePIN with the successful listing from peaq, U2U Network, a leading DePIN Layer1 in Asia, has just announced its new collaboration with CoinList, a top token launch platform in crypto with many successful DePIN projects such as Filecoin, NATIX, Koii, peaq, etc., for a new pre-listing campaign. CoinList x U2U Network: U2U Incentivized Mainnet Saga Campaign U2U Network, backed by Kucoin Ventures, Chain Capital, IDG Blockchain, JDI, Cointelegraph, Crypto Assets Japan, and V3V Ventures, is a modular Layer 1 network that uses advanced directed acyclic graph (DAG) technology and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility to provide fast transactions and quick finality. U2U Network aims to address the fragmented nature of the DePIN market, where full integration across applications is rare. Its vision is to create a complete blockchain solution for DePIN. The network’s unique subnet technology allows for the creation of customizable, independent sub-networks that offer scalability and flexibility tailored for DePIN applications. This design provides high performance, strong security, and adaptability, giving developers the tools to build and launch DePINs efficiently while enabling users to connect, contribute, and potentially earn from various DePIN projects. CoinList’s collaboration with U2U Network reflects their shared commitment to advancing the DePIN sector. This collaboration is highlighted by the U2U Incentivized Mainnet Saga Campaign, marking a key step in driving the growth and adoption of DePIN technology. This campaign could serve as gateway to earning $U2U tokens before they hit the market. Participants can gain access to $U2U tokens through Owlto Finance by bridging $USDT to receive $pUSDT, which can then be staked in the U2U Incentivized Staking Pool. The program offers a reward pool of 10,000,000 $U2U tokens for eligible participants.

With its vision to be a comprehensive blockchain solution for DePIN, U2U Network is positioned to make a significant impact on blockchain space, bringing robust innovation and value to its ecosystem and users alike. As the listing approaches, the path forward for U2U Network indicates significant opportunities and impactful contributions to the blockchain industry and beyond.

The ZK-L2 community network, ZKFair, will go live on December 20th. ZKFair is the first Mainnet ZK-L2 based on Polygon CDK & Celestia, powered by Lumoz's ZK-RaaS. After the launch of the mainnet, 100% of the ZKF Token will be distributed to the community immediately in the form of airdrops to be completely fair and impartial. ZKFair's original intention was to build a fully community-driven ZK-L2, and ZKFair is an experimental project and a community resistance movement. Nowadays, several ZK-L2 projects are generally overvalued, and VC investors monopolize their revenues while ordinary users can hardly get returns from them. On top of that, these ZK-L2s also encourage ordinary users to pay huge gas fees to transact frequently but are slow to issue token incentives. . So, these ZK-L2s are not friendly or fair to the general public ZKFair hopes to do this by creating a fair-launch, community-driven ZK-L2 network. 100% of ZKF tokens will be airdropped to the community immediately after the mainnet launch. All future Gas fee profits will also be returned 100% to the community. ZKFair will be completely fair-launched, community-driven, community-built, and community-shared revenue. This will be an L2 that gathers the power and wisdom of the masses, stimulates creativity, and empowers all kinds of communities through ZK. It is worth mentioning that security and stability are the focus of ZKFair. Before going online, ZKFair also passed the audits of several globally renowned auditing organizations to ensure the security and stability of the code. The audit reports can be viewed on the website after the mainnet launch. ZKFair always puts the safety of users' assets in the first place.
