In one brief minute the place was apparently empty save for Ambrose. Still tied to his chair, he inquired: "Is any one hyar?" For a second there was silence, then the dulcet tones of Miss Aphrodite fell on the big negro's ear: "Ah's hyar, Ambrose," she said. "Well, den" recognizing her voice "would you mine lightin' de gas till Ah can tie mahself loose from dis hyar throne ob glory?"
"Why always mention Jasper Eau-douce, Pathfinder? he can have no concern with our friendship; let us talk of yourself, and of the manner in which you intend to pass the winter." "Ah's me! I'm little worth at the best, Mabel, unless it may be on a trail or with the rifle; and less worth now that I have discovered the Sergeant's mistake. There is no need, therefore, of talking of me.
Do you think any the worse of him for that?" Whyland had come to fetch the men and to show them his model farm. They spent the forenoon in going over this expensive place. Bond gave vent to all the "oh's" and "ah's" that indicate the perfect visitor. Abner took their host's various amateurish doings in glum silence.
The Princess interrupted him: "What do you mean with your ah's?" He replied, "Ah! the Prince of Modena is under great obligations; I have made him happy." He had begun the same follies here, and was in the habit of entering the Princess's chamber at all times, and he even had the impudence to be jealous.
Sewell was one of the reflecting kind of men, whose thoughts have a thousand meandering paths, that lead nowhere in particular. His sister's brisk little "Well's?" and "Ah's!" and "Indeed's!" were sometimes the least bit in the world annoying. "What is to be done?" said Miss Emily; "shall we speak to Mrs. Pennel?" "Mrs. Pennel would know nothing about her."
Jack obeyed by stepping into the next room, though he kept watch over the dogs out of the corners of his eyes. "Now, yo' lie right down on de flo', Marse Benson," commanded the master of the situation. "Ah's gotter tie yo' up, befo' Ah can staht yo' back ter 'Napolis, but dere ain' no hahm gwine come ter yo'."
Dignity is commanding and useful, and there is no getting on without it, as respects the men; but if you would be thoroughly esteemed by a woman, it is necessary to condescend a little on occasions." "Ah's me, Sergeant, I sometimes fear it will never do." "Why do you think so discouragingly of a matter on which I thought both our minds were made up?"
Mabel is too tender to walk through swamps and among roots of trees in such a night as this promises to be, and then I always feel myself stouter of heart and truer of eye when afloat than when ashore." "Stout of heart you always be, lad, and I think tolerably true of eye for one who has lived so much in broad sunshine and so little in the woods. Ah's me!
Nothing human greeted me, and conscious of a strange feeling of horror, I slipped over onto the deck. The next moment the negro and Dutchman joined me, the former staring about wildly, the whites of his eyes revealing his terror. "My Gawd, sah," he ejaculated. "Ah done know dis boat it's shore de Santa Marie. "Ah's cooked in dat galley. What's done happened ter her, sah?" "You know the schooner?
The countenances of both were deadly pale, and their lips blue. It required no doctor's skill to tell that both were dead. "Ah's me! Tommy, 'tis a sad sight," said Bax. Tommy made no reply for a few seconds, but after an ineffectual effort to command himself, he burst into tears. "If we had only been here last night," he sobbed at length, "we might have saved them."
