'There is some news, said mine host of the Candlestick, pushing his lantern-jawed visage and bare-boned nag rudely forward into the crowd 'there is some news; and, if it please my Creator, I will forthwith obtain speirings thereof. Waverley, with better regulated curiosity than his attendant's, dismounted and gave his horse to a boy who stood idling near.
Grace had purposely voiced their request in so low a tone that Mabel had not heard her mention the patient's name, and she accompanied the four girls without the faintest idea of what their call might mean to her. "Now for it," breathed Grace, as they paused at the door of 47. "Come in," said a sweet voice, in answer to the attendant's knock, and the five girls were ushered into Mrs.
Here tears stifled her voice, and obeying the desire to pour out to another the overflowing gratitude and love which had taken possession of her soul, she threw herself upon the gray-haired attendant's breast, and amid her weeping exclaimed: "I shall see him with these eyes, I can clasp his hand, I shall hear his voice that voice His first cry A thousand times, waking and sleeping, I have fancied I heard it again.
We went out for air yesterday morning three or four miles beyond the town-walls, where I looked steadily at the sea, till I half thought myself at home. The ocean being peculiarly British property favoured the idea, and for a moment I felt as if on our southern coast; we walked forward towards the shore, and I stepped upon some rocks that broke the waves as they rolled in, and was wishing for a good bathing house that one might enjoy the benefit of salt-water so long withheld; till I saw our laquais de place crossing himself at the carriage door, and wondering, as I afterwards found out, at my matchless intrepidity. The mind however took another train of thought, and we returned to the coach, which when we arrived at I refused to enter; not without screaming I fear, as a vast hornet had taken possession in our absence, and the very notion of such a companion threw me into an agony.

With an affectionate kiss they parted; and Annorah went slowly back to her young mistress's room. "How is this, Annorah?" asked Mrs. Lee, as she entered. "How happened you to return so soon?" "I have not been home, an' ye please, ma'am." "Are you not going to-night?" asked Annie, raising her head from her pillow, and noticing, with a little anxiety, the unusual expression of her attendant's face.

I'm to keep you cheerful."

Put no address on either; and on coming to anchor, send notice to old Peterkin in the lodge at the Master Attendant's, and he will relieve you and the pies de gallo, some calm evening, of all farther trouble regarding them. Don't forget the turtle from Crooked Island, and the cigars." "Always, my dear Transom," "Yours sincerely," "Oh, I forgot.
Once in the street, at night, and in darkness, Della grew timid, and clutched convulsively her attendant's arm; but they went on steadily, until arriving at an adjacent corner, a third person joined them, and helped them into the carriage, which stood waiting near by.
The room to which he conducted his lagging charge was furnished in every particular like a room in a new hotel; and Bibbs found it pleasant though, indeed, any room with a good bed would have seemed pleasant to him after his journey. He stretched himself flat immediately, and having replied "Not now" to the attendant's offer to unpack the bag, closed his eyes wearily.
