'Why, you are putting the cart before the horse, child! We don't even know that the new clergyman has any daughters his family may be all boys. Besides, I don't know when you'd be likely to see them or their governess either. 'They'd be sure to come to the shop sometimes, father, Celestina replied eagerly. 'Even old Mrs. Bunton does I've often seen her.
Bunton came there, and there's not much been done in the way of repairs, save a little whitewashing now and then. The doctor and Mrs. Bunton haven't needed much just by themselves but a family's different; they'll be needing nurseries and schoolrooms and what not, especially if they have been used to grand London ways.
It was not done rudely, and indeed it was only natural that the arrival of a new rector and his family at Seacove should attract a good deal of attention, considering that old Dr. Bunton and his wife had been fixtures there for more years than Mr. Vane himself had been in the world. 'Oh yes, said Rough in an off-hand way, 'I can ask any one. But we may as well walk on a little and look about us.
I stayed in Savannah some time, anxiously trying to get to Montserrat once more to see Mr. King, my old master, and then to take a final farewell of the American quarter of the globe. At last I met with a sloop called the Speedwell, Captain John Bunton, which belonged to Grenada, and was bound to Martinico, a French island, with a cargo of rice, and I shipped myself on board of her.
"Where are you going, Dogidog?" said the deer. "To the cock fight at Magsingal," said the man. "Wait, I go with you," said the deer. Then they went again. In the way they met Bunton. "Where are you going?" said it. "To Magsingal to the cock fight," said the man. "Wait, I go with you," said the mound. Then they went again and soon they met a monkey. "Where are you going, Dogidog?" said the monkey.
Bunton going away, mother? she asked eagerly, though the moment after she reddened slightly, not at all sure that she was not going to be told that 'little girls should not ask questions. But both Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild were interested in the subject I think for once they forgot that Celestina was only 'a little girl. 'Yes, the mother replied; 'he is giving up at last.
It was rough and stony, and to call it a field was a figure of speech; the soil was nothing but sand, and the grass was of the coarsest. But the Rectory stood on rather rising ground, and old Dr. Bunton and his wife had fortunately been fond of gardening.
Heber Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Bunton, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Dutcher, Mr. and Mrs. Elihu Higgins, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Cook, Mrs. Simeon Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Cheney Adams, Mr. Sands Cook, and others. The financial ability of the charge was moderate, and hence the erection of the Church required a great effort.
Bill Bunton resisted arrest and was pugnacious, of course declaring his innocence. At the last he showed great gameness. He was particular about the manner in which the knot of the rope was adjusted to his neck, seeming, as did many of these men, to dread any suffering while hanging. He asked if he might jump off the platform himself, and was told he might if he liked.
It was a bright pleasant morning, 'quite spring-like, said the young governess, and a walk at that early hour was of itself a pleasure to Celestina. She had not been inside the Rectory since the Vane family had replaced old Dr. Bunton and his wife, and scarcely was the door open when the little girl noticed a difference.
