Before it was completed, Eleanor had quite recovered her placid, sunshiny temper. "Consolation, thy name is satin and lace!" said Alice, thankfully, to herself, as she saw Eleanor so tired and happy about the wedding finery. At first Alice had been quite sure that she would go to Paris, and nowhere else; but Eleanor noticed that in less than a week Carrol's influence was paramount.
He only knew that his heart was thumping against his ribs, and that a moment later he was being introduced as Mr. Holden, and that Eve did not know him from Adam. Presently she laid the tips of her fingers on his arm, and they were going in to dinner. "I think Mrs. Carrol's a dear," said Fitz, "to give me you to take in and to sit next to.
"Every hour is precious, for my poor girl's sad solitude weighs on my heart, and this is my one hope." "I will stay with pleasure," answered Christie, thinking Mrs. Carrol's anxiety excessive, yet pitying the mother's pain, for something in her face suggested the idea that she reproached herself in some way for her daughter's state.
"He must be Southerner, judging by those trousers," suggested Harry mischievously. "Why, Harry!" Her surprised look must have irritated him. "Those damn Southerners!" Sally Carrol's eyes flashed. "Don't call 'em that." "I'm sorry, dear," said Harry, malignantly apologetic, "but you know what I think of them. They're sort of sort of degenerates not at all like the old Southerners.
The tears in Sally Carrol's eyes faded; her expression hardened slightly. "Very well I suppose I shouldn't have said that." Harry melted. "Dear little nut!" he cried. "Come and kiss me and let's forget."
One young man after getting well started on the subject of Sally Carrol's eyes and, how they had allured him ever since she entered the room, went into a violent convulsion when he found she was visiting the Bellamys was Harry's fiancee. He seemed to feel as though he had made some risque and inexcusable blunder, became immediately formal and left her at the first opportunity.
Carroll were driven to the depot, accompanied by Oscar, who went in his mother's place. Herbert purchased tickets for both, being intrusted with Mr. Carrol's pocketbook for that purpose. He found a comfortable seat for the old gentleman, and sat down beside him. I pass over the route pursued by the travelers from Columbus to Wheeling, in West Virginia, as it possesses no special interest.
Accompanied Mr. S r to Carrol's Island, having arranged to visit this celebrated ducking-ground on our way to Mr. Oliver's seat. We reached the house about eleven o'clock, the distance being sixteen miles: the cottage, which forms the head-quarters of the club of gentlemen who farm this sporting-stand, was plain enough for the most republican spirit.
Carrol's face and manner returned to her with sudden vividness, so did Augustine's gloomy expression, and the strange wish uttered over his sleeping sister long ago. Harry's reckless, aimless life might be explained in this way; and all that had perplexed her through that year.
