"Oh, I can't bear to have people know about it," said Frances, her face white with horror. "Let us go home now and think it over, and let us be oh! so careful not even to hint at what has happened. We may have to confide in some others, but let us not give up the chance of keeping our secret by telling the wrong people now. And let us meet again tomorrow afternoon."
"It's no use wishing," James replied. "We can't risk anything of that sort and, probably, all the farm houses are full of troops. We have got a little bread left. That will hold us over tomorrow comfortably." "It may hold us," Middleton said; "but it certainly won't hold me comfortably. My idea of comfort, at the present time, would be a round of beef and a gallon of ale." "Ah!
But Marion, don't look so at me, as if I had died." Marion tried to say something, but then stole anxiously and in silence from the room. "Lina," Betty directed the chambermaid, "tomorrow I wish to sleep late, and no one, do you hear? no one must disturb me." Left alone, she began to walk up and down quietly and busily.
"I know I'm not an inspiring object to look upon, but you must be quite frank and sensible about that and get used to it at once, for we've no time to lose. And if I'm a trifle irritable you won't mind? for I'm more than usually nervous." "Don't bother with me this morning, if you are tired," urged Everett. "I can come quite as well tomorrow."
I'll not go back to my anchoress lodge in the north till I see what works out of them! Meantime, to our beds, sweet Anne, since 'tis an early start tomorrow.
"I am confident that he will accept the situation and render you faithful service." "Well, then send him around tomorrow and if there is anything in him I may be able to do better by him when the fall trade opens." And so Charley Cooper was fortunate enough in his hour of perplexity to find a helping hand to tide him over a difficult passage in his life. Gratefully and faithfully did he serve Mr.
"I would go with you but on my honor I'm up to here" and he pointed to his throat. "I'm galloping to the commander of the corps. How do matters stand?... You know, Count, there'll be a battle tomorrow. Out of an army of a hundred thousand we must expect at least twenty thousand wounded, and we haven't stretchers, or bunks, or dressers, or doctors enough for six thousand.
"Let tomorrow answer," I thought, as the piano-forte in the next room played "La Reve." Then fell asleep. And when I awoke next morning to the full knowledge that it was Sunday, I could have murdered the calendar. For Sunday was Dies Irae. After Sunday-school, at least.
