She has been a little mysterious of late." "Did she say she was going to bring her daughter with her?" "Yes, she mentioned Angeline. Also the name of the ship on which they expected to sail." "Was this letter mailed from Paris or London?" "It came from Paris." "Did you understand that she was leaving France for good?" "I got that idea, certainly." "But not her reasons for it?" "No.
She was ready to accept the traditional honors of the wild legend worthy of the pen of a Cooper. On returning from our visit to old Angeline, we asked Hon. Henry Yesler, the now rich pioneer, why the princess was not better cared for by the people of the city. He himself had been generous to her. "Why," he said, "if you were to give her fifty dollars, she would give it all away before night!"
"They won't BE done till you go, Ase," continued the master of the house. "She'll stay with us till the last gun fires. T'other day Angie Phinney called and I turned Debby loose on her. I didn't believe anything could wear out Angie's talkin' machinery, but she did it. Angeline stayed twenty minutes and then quit, hoarse as a crow."
Here Blossy gurgled and gave the man at her right so coy a glance that Samuel's face flamed red and he hung his head lower to one side than usual, like a little boy that had been caught stealing apples. "I left the tea a trifle early you must forgive me, Brother Abe, but I heard the train-whistle." Abe stood beside Angeline, rooted in astonishment, while Blossy continued to address him directly.
Then Dominie Payson took his place at the altar; and Hanz and Angeline, representing age beautified by simplicity, walked slowly up the aisle, and took their place on one side, followed by Critchel, the inn-keeper and the schoolmaster, who stood just behind them. A few minutes later and Mrs.
"Don't you take him in!" exclaimed Angeline, the kitchen girl; "it's a bad sign to have birds come fluttering round a window." "What do you mean by a sign?" asked Dotty, who had never heard of any silly superstitions in her life. "Let him alone," cried Johnny, "or you'll die before the week's out, sure's you live!" Dotty laughed.
"Yes Angeline; and one line of writing from some poem, I judge. I put it back where I found it. When we know more, it may help us to find her friends." "And is that all?" "Almost, but not quite. The young girl had a bag too. It stood on a table " "Well?" "Empty. Everything had been tumbled out turned upside down and the contents scattered. I looked them carefully over.
She was for years my Aunt Lucy's hired girl, Angeline Peters, who married Isaac Brown, the hired man, and became plain Mrs. Ike Brown, until some lucky speculation turned the tide and gave them immense wealth, when she blossomed out into a fine lady, and, dropping the Ike, adopted her husband's middle name, Rossiter, with a hyphen to heighten the effect, and so became Mrs. Rossiter-Browne."
There was a great deal of talk and gossip among the neighbors, who had known the Rossiter-Brownes with out an "e" or a hyphen, when he was simply Ike and she was Angeline, Miss Lucy Grey's hired girl.
