"Oh, my dear boy, I have so much to say! Where shall I begin?" "At the end," I said quietly. "Send for Dr. Wilder." "But don't you want to hear what a naughty girl " "No, I want to hear nothing but 'I, Elizabeth, take thee " "But I've been so very jealous, so suspicious and angry. Don't you want to hear how bad I am?"
Elizabeth was, however, consistently opposed to the acceptance of a new sovereignty. England was a weak power. Ireland was at her side in a state of chronic rebellion a stepping-stone for Spain in its already foreshadowed invasion.
The morning and the evening were the first day; the comings and goings of the inquisitive and the sympathetic were alike unremarked by Elizabeth. Only for that first hour did her grief run to tears; it was beyond tears.
She threw a brief "good-night" to Elizabeth, and turned a cheek to Nannie for the kiss that had fallen there, soft as a little feather, in all the nights of all the years they had lived together. "'Night, Blair," she said shortly; then hesitated, her hand on the door-knob. There was an instant when the command "Go to church!" trembled upon her lips, but it was not spoken.
"And what would you have for yourself?" said Miss Elizabeth, wishing to hear more. "I should have leisure," said Katie decidedly, as though she had thought it over and made up her mind. "I should have time for fine sewing, and to learn things not just making lessons of them, and hurrying over them as they do at the school.
"I may be big, and I may have just crawled from the pond, but I deny the stick." "I'm sure we would have been here forever if Mr. Foster hadn't " began Cora. "Been here first," interrupted Jack. "That's all very well, sis. But I told you so! A brand-new, spick-and-span car like this! And to run it into a muddy ditch!" "Indeed!" exclaimed Elizabeth. "We were almost killed!
Gently they gathered around him, and Elizabeth laid the sleeping child on a pillow by his side. Richard saw him glance at the chubby little hand stretched out, and he lifted it to the squire's face. The dying man kissed it, and smilingly looked at Elizabeth. Then he let his eyes wander to Richard and his daughter-in-law.
Did he tell you that?" asked Elizabeth. "He said he thought the music did him good," acknowledged Adolphus. "May-be it was the same as with Saul when David played for him. But he does not look like a bad man, papa. He looks grander than any of our officers. And he has fought battles, they say. He is very brave."
"I know that they are worth much money," said Elizabeth. "I have heard it said so." "Do your friends know that you are going to sell them?" "No," Elizabeth said, a faint color rising in her delicate face. "But it is right that I should do it." The man spent a few moments in examining them again and, having done so, spoke hesitatingly. "I am afraid we cannot buy them," he said.
