Pelle went about blushing and quite bewildered, as though something had happened to him that no one else had ever experienced. At first he took Master Beck's work home with him and looked after the child himself at night. Every other moment he had to put down his work and run in to the mother and child.
"Mom Beck's goin' to stay heah with me, too, while mothah an' Papa Jack go down South where the alligatahs live. Then when they get well an' come back, Papa Jack is goin' to build a house on the othah side of the lawn. I'm to live in both places at once; mothah said so." There were music and light, laughing voices and happy hearts in the old home that night.
"My countrywoman, on examination, turned out to be the English teacher at Madame Beck's pensionnat. She was perfectly unconscious, perfectly bloodless, and nearly cold. "'What does it all mean? was my inquiry. "He communicated a curious account; that you had been to him that evening at confessional; that your exhausted and suffering appearance, coupled with some things you had said "
"And fancy!" she went on with animation, "Fru Jurgensen knows Marie Forstberg. So I asked her to remember me to her." "Marie Forstberg? who is she?" asked Salvé. "She who was so kind to me," she stopped here, and the colour came and went in her face as she continued "it was she who married Beck's son the lieutenant."
Mivers, good-humouredly, turning round, and wiping the tear from her eye. "You ought to make much of him, poor lad, -he has turned out a godsend indeed; and, upon my word, he looks very respectable in his new clothes. But what is this, a child's coral?" as, opening a drawer in the dresser, she discovered Beck's treasure.
We stayed some hours at two villages near the east end of Amboyna, at one of which we had to discharge some wood for the missionaries' house, and on the third afternoon reached Captain Van der Beck's plantation, situated at Hatosua, in that part of Ceram opposite to the island of Amboyna.
"I like your playing ever so much better than Paul Beck's." "You are too kind," said Philip, with another bow. "Isn't he just lovely, Jedidiah!" said Maria, as she walked away with her lover. "Maybe he is I ain't a judge!" said Mr. Burbank, not very enthusiastically. So the evening passed. Philip continued to win the favorable opinion of the merry party by his animated style of playing.
Beck's unreasonableness provoked him. "I engaged a musician to play this evening, but it was not in your place, for you had sent us word that you could not appear." "Where is he, I say?" continued Paul Beck sourly. "Here he is," replied Blake, drawing toward our hero, who felt that he was placed in an awkward position. "Why, he's only a baby!" said Beck, surveying our hero contemptuously.
She begged her cousin's forgiveness for past unkindness, told her that she had left her the savings of her lifetime though the main part of the estate passed to Mr. Beck's nephew and besought Mrs. Shelton, as her only relation, to follow her to her grave. Young Mr. Beck, the said nephew, who wrote the letter, added that the house should be kept up for Mrs.
She could feel that Carl Beck's eyes were never off her as long as she was in sight, and she seemed to know that it was she whom his eye wandered in search of first whenever he came home. In a hundred small ways he made her conscious of the interest which he felt in her; and whenever there was a commission to be particularly remembered, he never gave it to his sisters alone, but to her also.
