Then, too, there was an eager, loud medley of bird-voices trying to outsing each other, for all over the ceiling and at the window hung canaries in cages; there were perhaps ten or twelve, and the little creatures, excited by the light, trilled as if they were intoxicated by their own singing. "Oh, the birds," said Billy surprised. "Them!" said Lina peevishly, "they yelp all daylong."
"If Miss Barker comes to the house again she will have the goodness to see that I am informed. Miss Lina is anxious to renew her studies." "Yes Missus." "Give my message faithfully," answered Mabel. "I must speak with her before the duties of her situation are resumed. Good night." "Good night to you," muttered the woman, as Mabel walked away. "I understand you, never doubt that.
Aunt Millicent gave them to me, and maybe I'd like to wear them sometime, but," she continued, "I'll not be selfish and keep them for some time. I'll give them to Lina, in place of those that she has lost." Hurrying along the upper hall, Lina was surprised to see that the next door that she would pass, stood open.
Last of all, he filled the flagon from the cask he had first visited, replaced then the vent-peg, took up his candle, and turned toward the door. 'There is something wrong here! thought Curdie. 'Speak to him, Lina, he whispered. The sudden howl she gave made Curdie himself start and tremble for a moment.
Sooner than not have you come I shall go to drag you here by the hair. I embrace you most warmly on this good hope. G. Sand CVI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 24 February, 1869 I am all alone at Nohant as you are all alone at Croisset. Maurice and Lina have gone to Milan, to see Calamatta who is dangerously ill.
You said rightly that in order to work, a certain lightness was needed; where is it to be found in these accursed times? Happily, we have no one ill at our house. When I see Maurice and Lina acting, Aurore and Gabrielle playing, I do not dare to complain for fear of losing all. I love you, my dear old friend, we all love you. Your troubadour, G. Sand
Betimes next morning the forester got up and went out hunting, and when he was gone the children were still in bed. Then Lina said to Fundevogel, "If thou wilt never leave me, I too will never leave thee." Fundevogel said, "Neither now, nor ever will I leave thee." Then said Lina, "Then I will tell thee.
Worthington replied, "I fancy he begins to look old and worn with this perpetual call for money from us. We must economize." "Never mind, when I get Bob Harney I'll pay off old scores," 'Lina said, laughingly, as she arose from the table, and went to look over her wardrobe. Meanwhile Hugh had returned, meeting in the kitchen with Lulu. "Well, Lu, what is it? What's happened?"
Hugh was strong as a young giant, and lifting gently the yielding form, he bore it from the room the bridal room, which she would never enter again, until he brought her back and laid her softly down beneath the windows, dropping tears upon her white, still face, and whispering: "Poor 'Lina!"
The Greenwich authorities were delighted with his instrument; they have seen what Herschel calls "my fine double stars" with it. "All my papers are printing," he tells Lina with pardonable pride, "and are allowed to be very valuable." But he himself is far from satisfied as yet with the results of his work. Evidently no small successes in the field of knowledge will do for William Herschel.
