Car'line pretended to be engrossed with the rippling of the stream under the arches, but in reality she was listening, as he knew.

Hairston Breckinridge, too, I imagine. Tell Car'line." Miss Lucy readdressed the letters for her brother, a year older than herself, and the master of Greenwood, a strong Whig influence in his section of the State, and now in Richmond, in the Convention there, speaking earnestly for amity, a better understanding between Sovereign States, and a happily restored Union.
She listened to them, making no response, with slow tears falling from shut lids to the pillow. "'Tain't for myself I'm a-pinin', 'tis for Depper," she said, the parson being gone. "All the same, Car'line," Mrs Brome said, sharply admonishing, "I'd marmar a ward now and agin for myself, as the reverend ha' been advisin' of ye, if I was you.
Whether he were really in London or not at that time was never known; and Car'line always stoutly denied that her readiness to go and meet Ned in town arose from any rumour that Mop had also gone thither; which denial there was no reasonable ground for doubting. And then the year glided away, and the Exhibition folded itself up and became a thing of the past.
Car'line says you told her not to make sugar cakes for Sunday?" "Yes, dear, I did. I am sorry, for I know that you like them. But everything is so hard to get and the armies and the poor people. I've told Car'line to give us no more desserts." "Oh!" cried Molly. "I wasn't complaining! It was Car'line who was fussing. I'd give the army every loaf of sugar, and all the flour.
"I hate boys," she exploded, "they're the worry of our lives, Car'line and mine, they get into our garden, and steal all our fruit, and they hang on behind our chaise when we ride out, and keep me a-lookin' round an' slashin' the whip at 'em the whole livelong time; O my boys!" "What in the world is Polly Pepper doing up on those rocks?" cried Jasper, just spying her.

When the young ladies were about leaving, I was greatly shocked to see Mr. Ashmore offer to accompany Carrie and Agnes home.

Aunt larfed waal, an' told me tew try ag'in; so a couple er nights arfter, I spruced up, an' went over to Car'line Miles's; she was as smart as old cheese, an' waal off in tew the barg'in. I was just as sure she'd hev me, as I be that I'm gittin' the rewmatiz a settin' in this ma'sh.
"Was it gold around it?" asked Polly, poking away busily. "Gold? I guess it was; and there was dents in it, where Car'line an' I bit into it when we were babies, 'cause mother give it to us when our teeth was comin' 'twas better'n a chicken bone, she said."
