He said nothing at first, but cried like a child, while Miss Betsey cried, too, a little, and blew her nose loudly, and told him not to be a fool, but to go outdoors on the plateau, where the children were, and sit there in the shade, and try to get some strength, for she wanted him very soon.
Bird brought him here for; she says he is sick, had a broken arm or something; I can't imagine what use she intends to make of him," remarked Betsey. "I don't think she intends him to be a servant here, at any rate," said Eliza; "or why should she have him put in the maple chamber, when there are empty rooms enough in the garret?"
They had taken the Sausalito road, to get the cool air from the bay, and it flashed across her that if she COULD persuade them to drop her at the foot of the hill, she could be at home in five minutes, back in the dear familiar garden, with Anna and Phil lazily debating the attractions of a walk and a row, and Betsey compounding weak, cold, too-sweet lemonade.
There was an American bank bill for a small sum, and the inclosure to his father, and that was all. "Poor Hughie! poor dear, bonnie laddie!" said Betsey softly. "Can it be possible that your father never opened or read this? It was written within a week of the poor boy's death," added she, looking at the date on the letter.
He was, indeed, a gentle-hearted, willing-handed, brown-eyed youth who had been a great help to his father. Every winter morning he and Betsey had done the chores and ridden on the back of Colonel to Mentor Graham's school where they had made excellent progress. Joe and his father set out on a cold clear morning in February. They got to Brimstead's in time for dinner. "How d'y do?"
Betsey is quite as stylish and ever so much prettier than Perky, and she knows it, which is an aggravation." Polly could n't help laughing, but grew sober a minute after, as Trix said, pettishly, "Well, I 'm sick of hearing about beggars; I believe half of them are humbugs, and if we let them alone they 'd go to work and take care of themselves.
An aunt of my father's, and consequently a great-aunt of mine, of whom I shall have more to relate by and by, was the principal magnate of our family. These evidences of an incompatibility of temper induced Miss Betsey to pay him off, and effect a separation by mutual consent.
"But she repented, Betsey, and was forgiven, we trust," said Mrs. Wynn, gently, thinking of one at home who had wrung her aged heart by a similar misstep. "That is not all I have to say upon the subject, either," said Mrs. Garnet, spiritedly. "Since the minister's dashing lady has commenced this cowardly attack upon one I love, I shall not hesitate to speak the entire truth.
Two of the train-men stood by and watched the careful stitches, and even offered her a place as spare brakeman, so that they might keep her near; and Betsey took the offer with considerable seriousness, only thinking it necessary to assure them that she was getting most too old to be out in all weathers.
It is Phil's brother. Why don't Betsey speak to him? Why don't he speak to Betsey? Why are his lips so ashen white? Poor Betsey! she knew it all; though he has not spoken a word. Tom is drowned. Phil lifts Betsey from the floor, chafes her hands, and speaks to her pitifully. Betsey does not answer: she does not even hear him. By and by she comes to herself and opens her eyes.
