Was she looking at the plunging sleigh and at its driver, or at the chasms of light in the rent cloud beyond? His heart told him, as he drove on into the very midst of the sunset which had embraced the glistening land, that the maid, although not regardless of the outer glory, only rejoiced in its beauty because the vision of her heart was focused upon him.

In consequence of this, nature always asserting herself regardless of conventionalities, a quasi family arrangement often exists between white men and mulatto or quadroon women, whereby the children are recognized as legitimate.

Thither men, women and children had to descend regardless of weather or hour or season, and every visitor could be watched from the windows opening on the yard. The rear part of the house constituted practically a building by itself, with a stairway of its own, and the people living there seemed to form a world apart, with which Keith never became very well acquainted.

"And if the Milwaukee does not build one we are going to do our shipping over the Northwestern regardless of longer hauls." I had not talked this matter over with the settlers, but they would do it, all right. A flea attacking an elephant! But a flea can be annoying, and we would keep it up.
