The Noble's blood had long been forgotten, but grandma was never at a loss for a subject, and she commenced talking notwithstanding Carrie's efforts to keep her still. "Now I think on't, Car'line," said she at last, turning to her granddaughter, "now I think on't, what made you propose to have my dinner sent up to my room.
It seemed that my mute appeals greatly pained her, but she could give only high-sounding encouragement, while solemnly pledging everlasting devotion to one who 'mo' and mo' 'zembles my own little bressed baby, Mandy Car'line just 'fo' she died! "After weeks of suspense, only the girls returned from night visits to London scenes. They looked much depressed.
By the glances occasionally cast towards him, from the opposite end of the table, I could perceive that "Miss Alvina" and "Miss Car'line" were not insensible to his attractions. Neither, however, had reason to congratulate herself upon any reciprocity of her favouring glances. The young man either did not observe, or, at all events, took no notice of them.
Naomi Holland looked up at her sister-in-law with something like malicious enjoyment. "I ain't going to have any more spells, Car'line Anne. I'm going to die to-night. But you needn't hurry milking for that, at all. I'll take my time." She liked to see the alarm that came over the other woman's face. It was richly worth while to scare Caroline Holland like that.
Grandma, whose longevity had not impaired her guessing faculties, first suggested that "most likely it was Caroline Howard's beau." This was altogether too probable to be doubted, and as grandmother had long contemplated a visit to Aunt Eunice, she now determined to go that very afternoon, as she "could judge for herself what kind of a match Car'line had made."
"She told me that she intended to have her old looms set up again," she added, "and I think that I shall follow her example. Between us we might clothe a regiment of soldiers." "She has had the servants brushing off the cobwebs for a week," replied the Major, "and to-day I actually found Car'line at a spinning wheel on the back flagstones.
Feigning not to hear her, John Jr. ran back to the piazza, which he reached just in time to hear the presentation of his sisters. "This is Carrie, and this is Anna," said Mr. Livingstone, pointing to each one as he pronounced her name. Marching straight up to Carrie and extending her hand, Mrs. Nichols exclaimed, "Now I want to know if this is Car'line. I'd no idee she was so big.
For this conduct one is bound to advance the canonical reason that time could not efface from his heart the image of little Car'line Aspent and it may be in part true; but there was also the inference that his was a nature not greatly dependent upon the ministrations of the other sex for its comforts.
Car'line would have given anything to leave off; but she had, or fancied she had, no power, while Mop played such tunes; and thus another ten minutes slipped by, a haze of dust now clouding the candles, the floor being of stone, sanded. Then another dancer fell out one of the men and went into the passage, in a frantic search for liquor.
"I told you so," was grandmother's reply, when informed of all this. "I told you so. I knew Car'line warn't going to make out no great." Juliet and Anna thought so too, but this did not prevent them from running to the windows next morning to see Penoyer as he passed on his way to the cars.
