The widow was also stout-hearted, and, evidently considering it right to take the only young lady under her chaperonage, advised her after breakfast to remain below and work with her. Bluebell was of a grateful disposition, and acquiesced, but secretly thought it rather dismal, so, when Mr.
In the meantime, Bluebell, tempted by a shady creek, abandoned her canoe, and, flinging herself down on a bed of wild flowers, remained a prey to the consideration of this new view of Lilla's, which would account, in the most unwelcome manner, for the inconsistency of Du Meresq's conduct with his professions. Cecil a rival!
"On the 22nd inst., at Leighton Court, of scarlet fever, Evelyn Cora, only child of Mrs. and the late Henry Leighton, Esq., aged eleven years." Bluebell sat petrified, the ground cut beneath her feet, she could only be shocked for the poor child whom she had never known. But what was to become of herself in a strange land, with no place to go to?
I'll give the bairn shelter till she hears from her kin, but I'll have no marrying or such like, to be called to account for mayhap afterwards." But Mr. Dutton, only made more eager by opposition, sprang away to the saloon, where Bluebell was sitting. "Yes, I have a message for you," said he, in answer to her inquiring look. "Will you come on deck? Here are your cloak and hood."
"I always take it to sea with me," said he, "and make out problems." Bluebell was beaten, and he tried to teach her a more scientific game. And the evening passed away pleasantly to those two at any rate. On retiring to her cabin, she perceived a strong smell of brandy, and found Mrs. Oliphant ensconced in the lower berth.
Sweet pollen from many a bluebell and anemone was stored and sealed for a generation unborn; the asphodels and violets, the velvet wallflower and yellow crocuses had already yielded treasure; and now new honey jewels were trembling in the trumpets of the honeysuckle, at the heart of the wild rose, within the deep cups of the candid and orange lilies, amid the fairy caps of columbines, and the petals of clove-pinks.
But bad luck had come and continued until the fortune dwindled down to nothing but the ownership of the old Bluebell. It was then that the captain had determined on a voyage to Alaska, taking with him a party of men who wished to explore the new gold mines in that territory. The Bluebell was supposed to have gone down in sight of the coast and only two of the survivors had thus far returned.
"She brushed by me so suddenly, and looked so strange." "Nearly knocked me over," said the Colonel, who had caught the last words. "Don't notice it; I am afraid Bluebell has lost her heart to young Vavasour; and she is miserable at going home, because she thinks she will not see him."
Markham's from him, and send another letter to Bluebell. How could I tell I should love thee to-day, Whom that day I held not dear? How could I know I should love thee away, When I did not love thee a near? Jean Ingelow. We must now see whither the vicissitudes of fortune have conducted Mrs. Dutton. Her pleasant home at the Markhams' was gone.
"Shall I cultivate our visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens?" "Not for the world; we must let them slide quietly, and then people will begin to understand we don't wish to be called on." "I daresay you are right; this house must be an oubliette till your awful uncle is confessed to." Bluebell spoke with some asperity; the concealment had become so unbearable.
