"He does not propose to give it to you," she interposed, quickly. "He would not venture to propose that, however much he might like to do so. His plan is to rebuild the mill, and for you to work it on shares you to have your share of the profits for your labor. You could have the chance to buy him out later, when you were able." Jerome was about to speak, but Abigail interrupted again.
Peggy was invited to divulge her intentions concerning supper and her proposed menu aroused enthusiasm. "I wonder if Aunt Abigail has missed us?" remarked Ruth, who hated above all things to be left alone for five minutes, so that her thoughts had invested Aunt Abigail's solitude with a pathos which the independent old lady would have instantly resented. Amy took it on herself to answer.
It was all grist to her mill, she perceived, and during the next summer it was a grimly amused old miller who watched the antics of Abigail Warner, arrayed in a pseudo-oldfashioned gown of green-flowered muslin, with a quaintly ruffled cap confining her rebellious white hair, talking the most correct book-brand of down-east jargon, and selling flowers at twenty times their value to automobile and carriage folk.
She stood momentarily at the gate. I gave her my hand, and with an impassive goodnight, she turned to the door and I went my way. Then regret came over me. Had I wounded her? And if I had, could I win her back? Did I wish to? I could not entirely bring myself to relinquish Dorothy for good. But did I really care for Abigail?
"Now, Miss Abigail," she added imperiously, "you run across lots and fetch him home." Ah! but Abraham slept that night as if he had been drawn to rest under the compelling shelter of the wings of all that flock which in happier days he had dubbed contemptuously "them air old hens."
The arraying would have been more speedy with the volunteer abigail out of the room; but not once did the mistress even suggest it, and, on the contrary, paused several times in the process to give the black a hug. Finally, a call from her mother put an end to this frittering and hurried the girl downstairs. Washington gave his hand to Mrs.
The tongues ceased wagging in order that they might turn hand-springs. Find Abigail Prim, whispered some, and the mystery will be solved. There were others charitable enough to assume that Abigail had been kidnapped by the same men who had murdered Paynter and wrought the other lesser deeds of crime in peaceful Oakdale.
"That is a most ignoble suggestion," I could not help saying, "when you know that the object in modern life is the cultivation of the mind, the elevation of women, and men also, in intellectual life." "I suppose so. I should like to have asked Abigail Adams's opinion on the way to do it."
And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite. And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Where were Abigail and Aldington, Reverdy, Sarah, this night? How could the millions storming over slavery and war, territories, sugar and cotton and iron, gold and railways think of these things if they were face to face with a reality as stark as I was, in a boat rolled by dark water, tossing forward toward Europe and with a burden like the dead body of Dorothy? All this night I walked the deck.
