Three shillings a day for twelve days or more seemed like a fortune to Adah, and so she tore herself away from Willie's clinging arms and went willingly to labor for the capricious 'Lina, ten times more impatient and capricious since she "had come into possession of property."
Cain's rallying from stupor CAIN. Leave me. ADAH. Why all have left thee. CAIN. And wherefore lingerest thou? Dost thou not fear? ADAH. I fear Nothing, except to leave thee. CAIN. Eastward from Eden will we take our way. ADAH. Leave! thou shalt be my guide; and may our God Be thine! Now let us carry forth our children. CAIN. And he who lieth there was childless.
Shall I give him your trunk?" Adah answered in the affirmative, and then hastened to wrap up Willie, glancing again at the carriage, which, now that it was associated with the gentle Anna, looked far better to her than it had at first. She was ready in a moment and descended to the room where Jim, the driver, stood waiting for her.
In her response to my ardent words she seemingly had satisfied her conscience, and she acted like one bent on making the most of this one occasion of fleeting pleasure. Adah was the only one who mentioned the banker. "How Mr. Hearn would have enjoyed being here with us!" she exclaimed. Miss Warren's response was a sudden pallor and a remorseful expression; but Mr.
Adah saw all this, but it conveyed no meaning to her mind except a vague remembrance that at some time or other, very, very long years it seemed, Anna had bidden her keep from her mother any letter directed to herself in a mourning envelope. Adah retained just sense enough to do this, and separating the letter from the others, thrust it into her pocket, and then took her way back to Terrace Hill.
"I fully expected the ladies here; pray, send for them at once," she said, but Adah interposed: "Her mother would not willingly be separated from Hugh, and as he of course would remain at the hotel, it would be useless to think of persuading Mrs. Worthington to come to Terrace Hill." "But Miss Johnson surely will come," persisted Mrs. Richards.
"What He does we know not now, but we shall know hereafter," Adah said, reverently, adding: "If George had feared God, he would not have left me so; but he didn't, and perhaps he says there is no God but you don't, Mr. Worthington. Your face don't look like it. Tell me you believe," and in her eagerness Adah grasped his arm beseechingly.
She, knew, however, that it could not be pleasant for him to speak of 'Lina, and so she led him back to Adah by saying: "I had thought to talk with you of a plan which Mrs. Hastings has in view, but think, perhaps, I had better wait till you are stronger." "I am strong enough now stronger than you think.
In a most aggrieved tone, Mug explained how Miss Adah and Aunt Eunice had spoiled their handiwork, but could not talk long of anything without bringing in Miss Alice. "Where does Miss Alice pray for me?" he asked, and Muggins replied: "Oh here, when she bese alone, and downstairs, and everywhere. You wants to hear her?" Yes, Hugh did. "Mug," he said. "I am going to be crazy as a loon.
I would not look at them as they went down the lane together, but shut my eyes and tried to breathe in life and health. Adah read to the two little girls for some time, and then came hesitatingly toward me. I feigned sleep, for I was too weak and miserable to treat the girl as she deserved. She stood irresolutely a moment or two, and then slowly and lingeringly returned to the house.
