"So the Berinthia will soon be sailing," said Miss Newville, "and we shall all want to keep track of her; and whenever we read of her coming and going we shall all recall this delightful day, made so enjoyable for us this morning by Berinthia and so charming this afternoon by your kindness." She turned her face towards Robert. The afternoon sun was illumining her countenance. He had seen in Mr.
With the flag of the new nation the banner of crimson stripes and fadeless stars flying at her masthead, the ship Berinthia Brandon, Major Tom Brandon owner, comes proudly sailing into Halifax harbor. The anchor dropped, he makes his way to the vine-clad cabin, listens a moment by the latticed window to hear a sweet voice singing words that thrill him. "Dearest, I love thee yet, My darling one."
When through with the piece, the organist explained the mechanism of the instrument, playing softly and then making the windows rattle. An hour at noon, and then the meetinghouse bells were tolling for the afternoon service. "We will go to our own meeting; I want you to hear Reverend Doctor Cooper," said Berinthia. The meetinghouse was in Brattle Street, close by the barracks.
"I am calling on my acquaintances, and I was not quite sure whether I ought to skip you or not." "Skip me! What have I done that you should think of dropping me from your acquaintance?" Berinthia saw a wondering and injured look in the loving eyes. "Oh, you haven't done anything; it is what the king, Lord North, and Parliament are doing.
The very life of such characters as Berinthia is their licentiousness, and it is with them, as with objects that are luminous from putrescence, to remove their taint is to extinguish their light.

It was natural that Berinthia and Abraham Duncan, who had put his heart into his work while carving her features, should sit side by side, and that Tom Brandon and Mary Shrimpton should desire to be tucked under the same bearskin. It was a pleasure to Roger Stanley to ask Miss Walden to keep him company. "They have decided, Mr.

Robert was pleased, also, to meet Mr. Knox, the bookseller, who was polite and affable to all, particularly to Miss Flucker. When Berinthia and Robert were by themselves she informed him that Mr.
The busy brain of Berinthia planned the way. The British had seized all the boats along the wharves, and sentinels were guarding them, but there was an Indian canoe in the loft of the shipyard. Abraham Duncan would put it in trim and render all possible assistance. No tears dimmed Ruth Newville's eyes when she bade him good-by and gave him a parting kiss.
Picturesque the scene: gentlemen wearing white wigs, blue, crimson, and scarlet cloaks, carrying gold-headed canes, taking pinches of snuff from silver-mounted boxes; young gentlemen with handsome figures and manly faces; ladies with tippets and muffs; girls in hoods, all congratulating Berinthia, admiring the beauty and tidiness of the ship, and the lovely figure of herself.
