After that she is good to live with for ever. A heart-break for that kind is their salvation: without it they go on breaking the hearts of others." As I read Belle's and Hungerford's letters my thoughts went back again as they did so often indeed to the voyage of the 'Fulvia', and then to Mrs. Falchion's presence in the Rocky Mountains.
Some of the girls began to giggle; the fat one looked a little scared, and for the moment seemed to lose a very hearty appetite. Carrie wrote something on a pad, tore off the paper, and thrust it into Belle's hand. Then she went along the row gravely, plainly eyeing those girls who belonged to her own half of the school. "Nasty thing!" Nancy heard somebody whispering shrilly.
Manda is helping me with the sweet pickles, and Tilly has gone to camp-meeting." Belle rose reluctantly, tossed back her hair, and went in search of her hat. "Be sure now to get a receipt," Mrs. Parton said, as she gave the money into Belle's hands. "I am not afraid of Morgan, but the colonel is certain to accuse me of not paying it if I haven't a receipt to show him."
"Well," retorted he, "jest as you like 'bout that;" and addressing himself to some one else he continued, "the Belle's the conquering boat for twenty dollars! Twenty dollars on the Belle!" I confess I had no very pleasant reflections at that moment.

Strolling down the board-walk with many stops she came at last to the foot of the Green Stairs. Richard sat on the top step, tugging at a knotted string. "Come on up," he called. "See what I've taken away from Captain Kidd. He was just starting to bury it.
It may have been fear of spoiling her complexion that kept her at one side whispering with Link, but it served them both right that Dolly Martin should choose that very moment for her stage entrance. She and her mother joined the group of butterers, and I noticed that Mrs. Martin returned Belle's cordial greeting rather stiffly.

Almost at once a summons came from the up-stairs room for Miss Belle's maid. The rest of the servants were dismissed, and Genevieve signalled over the balusters for me to wait.
Every day she drove out, dressed in black bombazine, and heavily veiled. But she was blind. As the mother-in-law of the stalwart Union leader of the city, Miss Belle's comment about her appearance in Camp Jackson was not out of place.
