"I thought ye'd be coming after somewhat to eat," Chloe said; "but I knew, if I asked you, you'd sure say, No, honey'"; and she went about to "do me good," in her own way. I heard the afternoon's latest hymn sung in the church whilst I waited. I saw the great congregation come out, and, with divided ways, go each homeward. Sophie had not returned. I wanted to hear from Miss Axtell.
"Bernard McKey, whom I have made most miserable, Lettie's life-long suffering, is there any atonement that I can offer to them?" "Yes, Mr. Axtell"; and I, too, arose, for the party had gone whilst I was telling my story. "Will you name it?" "Give unto the two a brother's love. Good night, Mr. Axtell." "I will," said a deep, solemn voice close beside me. I turned, and Mr. Axtell was gone.
Isn't it time you were asleep?" "Don't you know that my mother is dead?" said poor motherless Katie. "And so is mine," said Miss Axtell. "And mine," added I. "And is it for that that you don't sleep, Kate?" "No, Ma'am; but it is because you won't try to sleep; and you told us all, when my mother died, that" and Katie stopped there. "Why don't you go on?" I asked, in a low voice.
The prairie of Time rolled out limitless before my imagination. I built pyramids of fame; I laid the foundation of Babel once more, in my heart, for I said, 'My name shall touch the stars, my name! Abraham Axtell! It is only written in earth, ground to powder, to-day."
It so happened, however, that the latter entered it without opposition, and "Colonel Axtell, with some twelve of his men, went up to the top of the mount, and demanded of the governor the surrender of it, who was very stubborn, speaking very big words, but at length was persuaded to go into the windmill at the top of the mount, and as many more of the chiefest of them as it could contain, where they were disarmed, and afterwards all slain."
From her manner, I fancied it was to be known to me alone, and, concealing it, I said, "I will keep it securely for you." Sophie came playfully up, and said, "Now, Anna, I'm empress here; no secret negotiations to overthrow my power." "I'm just going to say good-bye to Miss Axtell," I said, "for I am going home to-morrow;" and I told her of the letter from father, that I had received.
Katie went to carry the message. Miss Axtell wandered a little. Between her words and memories I picked up the thread for her, and she went on before me. "I took the direction of the village-pier, when I fled from Doctor Percival. An unusual number of boats had come in. I heard noises amid the shipping. At any other time I should have avoided the place. Now I drew near.
Sophie asked, just as I had decided not to think of the things that misted around me. My answer was a taste of it. I really thought I was doing my duty, when Sophie's words came upon me, a little distractingly, "Will you have more sugar in your tea, Anna?" "No, I thank you." Aaron said, "The house of Axtell seems to have stolen away your proper self, Anna.
Ar this time Carteret county was inhabited only by Indians; but in Colleton county there were no less than two hundred freeholders, who had a right to vote for delegates to assembly. The principal plantations in it were those of the late Sir John Yeamans, Landgraves Morton, Ballenger and Axtell, and those of Blake, Boone, Gibbes, Schinking, and others.
Uncertain if she might mean it as well, I went back to ask. "Yes," she said; and I opened it. The first object that met my sight was the painting the young girl's face that had been in the library. The hair was covered, as if one had been trying effects of light and shade. I saw this instantly, and turned away. "I would like you to raise the shades in there," Miss Axtell said.
