They were, both of them, as strong as horses, but very hypochondriacal, and Dr. Armstrong of Mulberry Place made a very pleasant little income out of them. I have mentioned them at length, because they had a great deal to do with Angelina's quiet behaviour. No. 21 was not a house that welcomed a child's ringing laughter.
Hotly Maria Angelina's precipitous intuitions endorsed that supposition. Of course this Leila liked that Barry Elder. Of course. .
Angelina's diary, commenced in 1828, is most characteristic, and in the very beginning shows that inclination to the consideration and discussion of serious questions which in after years so distinguished her.
Angelina's parents were in India, and she was not conscious, very acutely, of their existence. Every morning and evening she prayed, "God bless mother and father in India," but then she was not very acutely conscious of God either, and so her mind was apt to wander during her prayers. She lived with her two aunts Miss Emmy Braid and Miss Violet Braid in the smallest house in the Square.
Johnny Byrd had an infectious way of making a party go and Maria Angelina's sweet soprano had become so much a part of every gathering that its absence now made song a dejection. Other things of Maria Angelina than her soprano were missed, also. Julia Martin found the popular bachelor decidedly absent-minded. The crack young polo player thought the scenery disappointing.
It seemed as though I was walking on the very confines of hell; and this winter, being obliged to pass it to pay a visit to a friend, I suffered so much that I could not get over it for days, and wondered how any real Christian could live near such a place." It may appear to some who read this biography that Angelina's expressions of feeling were over-strained. But it was not so.
Unused to be treated with judicious kindness, Angelina's heart was deeply touched by it, and she opened her whole mind to Lady Frances, with the frankness of a young person conscious of her own folly, not desirous to apologize or extenuate, but anxious to regain the esteem of a friend.
She was with him every day, for with that amazing American freedom, Bobby Martin came down to see Ruth every day and the four young people with other couples from the Lodge were always involved in some game, some drive, some expedition. But it was not accident nor a lazy concurrence with propinquity that kept Johnny Byrd at Maria Angelina's side. Openly he announced himself as tied hand and foot.
"Pless us, Cot pless us!" said the Welsh girl, who was quite overpowered by the Irishman's flow of words and she was on the point of having recourse, in her own defence, to her native tongue, in which she could have matched either male or female in fluency; but, to Angelina's great relief, the dialogue between the coachman and Betty Williams ceased. The coachman drew up to Mrs.
Coldly Johnny's slow voice broke it. "Who said anything about marriage?" defiantly he demanded. "I never asked you to marry me." "I never asked you to marry me," he repeated very stiffly. The crash of all her worlds sounded in Maria Angelina's ears. An aghast bewilderment flooded her soul. Pitiably she stammered, "Why it it was understood, was it not? You cared you you "
