While standing near a large mirror in one of the courts devoted to furniture, Car'line started, for in the glass appeared the reflection of a form exactly resembling Mop Ollamoor's so exactly, that it seemed impossible to believe anybody but that artist in person to be the original. On passing round the objects which hemmed in Ned, her, and the child from a direct view, no Mop was to be seen.
"Old Sarah never flinched, but threatened to murder the first one who touched 'dat po' sick, unfortunate chile, who has no kind mudder to gib her good device, an' 'zembles my own little angel baby, Mandy Car'line! "The girls were not so far gone as to have no fear of results. They succeeded in getting these drunken villains into the other room. The excited wench slammed the door and bolted it.
Julius opened the long windows, the negroes came in, Mammy in her turban, Easter and Chloe the seamstresses, Car'line the cook, the housemaids, the dining-room boys, the young girls who waited upon the daughters of the house, Isham the coachman, Shirley the master's body-servant, Edward's boy Jeames, and the nondescript half dozen who helped the others.
You pretty well, Car'line?" Very haughtily Carrie touched the ends of her grandmother's fingers, and with stately gravity replied that she was well. Turning next to Anna, Mrs. Nichols continued, "And this is Anny. Looks weakly 'pears to me, kind of blue around the eyes as though she was fitty. Never have fits, do you, dear?"
In a reel for three there was no rest whatever, and four or five minutes were enough to make her remaining two partners, now thoroughly blown, stamp their last bar and, like their predecessors, limp off into the next room to get something to drink. Car'line, half-stifled inside her veil, was left dancing alone, the apartment now being empty of everybody save herself, Mop, and their little girl.
Go and tell Car'line to give Christopher some of that grape jelly on his bread before he goes to bed. She'll find it in the cupboard under the stairs." Presently the house grew very still. Caroline had dropped asleep on the sitting-room lounge, across the hall. Sarah Spencer nodded over her knitting by the table in the sick room. She had told Eunice to go to bed, but the child refused.
Virginia from her curule chair, tranquil and fast in the Union, will persuade, will reconcile these differences! Amen to that!" said Miss Lucy, and took up another bundle. "The Staunton Gazette The Farmer's Magazine The Literary Messenger My Blackwood Julius!" "Yaas, Miss Lucy." "Julius, the Reverend Mr. Corbin Wood will be here for supper and to spend the night. Let Car'line know."
"The door is shut, is it, Eunice?" Eunice nodded. "Because I don't want Car'line or any one else peeking and harking to what I've got to say. She's out milking now, and I must make the most of the chance. Eunice, I'm going to die, and..." "Ma!" "There now, no taking on! You knew it had to come sometime soon. I haven't the strength to talk much, so I want you just to be quiet and listen.
Eunice's face was white and tense. She clasped her hands as one in prayer. "Mother, I promise it!" Naomi relaxed her grip on the girl's arm and sank back exhausted on the pillow. A death-like look came over her face as the excitement faded. "My mind is easier now. But if I could only have lived another year or two! And I hate Car'line hate her! Eunice, don't you ever let her abuse my boy!
I suggested a trout-fly; which so tickled John Leech's fancy that he promised to draw it for next week's 'Punch. Albert Smith went with us to Southampton to see us off. On our way to Jamaica we stopped a night at Barbadoes to coal. Here I had the honour of making the acquaintance of the renowned Caroline Lee! Miss Car'line, as the negroes called her.
