Why, you're going to have dinner with us; of course that was understood. Not by Emily, however. It cost a good deal of firmness, for the Cartwrights one and all would lay hands on you rather than lose a guest; but Emily made good her escape. Once well on her way to Banbrigg, she took in great breaths of free air, as if after a close and unwholesome atmosphere.
'You don't say this just to put me off? he asked, with a roughness which was rather the effect of his attempt to keep down emotion than intentional. 'I have told you the truth, Emily replied firmly. 'Do other people know it? Do the Cartwrights? 'You are the only one to whom I have spoken of it. 'Except your father and mother, you mean? 'They do not know.
The materials were stone, brass, ivory, gold, ebony cypress-wood; and the arts or trades that wrought and fashioned them were smiths and carpenters, molders, founders and braziers, stone-cutters, dyers, goldsmiths, ivory-workers, painters, embroiderers, turners; those again that conveyed them to the town for use, merchants and mariners and ship- masters by sea, and by land, cartwrights, cattle-breeders, waggoners, rope-makers, flax-workers, shoe-makers and leather-dressers, roadmakers, miners.
In order to furnish himself with carts, waggons, ploughs, harrows, wheel- barrows, hurdles, and all such necessary utensils of husbandry, there would be an absolute necessity of wheelwrights or cartwrights, one at least to each division. Thus, by the way, there would be employed three servants to each farmer, that makes sixty persons.
Those elders who knew Dunfield best could not point to a single youth of fair endowments who looked forward to remaining in his native place. The tone of Dunfield society was not high. No wonder that Emily Hood had her doubts as to the result of study taken up by one of the Cartwrights.
I'd go mesilf, for I'm a good, fair cook, but I can't be afther makin' them fiddly-faddly contraptions Miss Galbraith has." "Well, Susan, if we can find a cook, will you come as helper? Just for a few days, till Miss Galbraith can get some people down from New York." "Yes, Miss Patty; I'll do that. Now, I'm bethinkin' me, there's the Cartwrights' cook.
If the town were visited by an opera company, or by some dramatic star going the round of the provinces, the Cartwrights were sure to have prominent seats, and to exhibit themselves in becoming costume. If a bazaar were held, their ready-money was always forthcoming. At flower shows, galas, croquet parties, they challenged comparison with all who were not confessedly of the Dunfield elite.
The whole family's pretty fine not the usual sort. Watch Mrs. Clifford Cartwright. Even she's impressed. Odd, eh? with all the country cousins about, too." "I know. It's in the air. And of course everybody knows the family blood is of the bluest. Unostentatious but sure of itself. The Cartwrights couldn't get that air, not in a thousand years." "Rich himself has it, though and the grandfather."
The girl's mind seemed to have been sullied by some contact, and previous indications disposed Emily to think that this Mrs. Tichborne was very probably a source of evil. She was the wife of an hotel-keeper, the more vulgar for certain affectations of refinement acquired during bar-maidenhood in London, and her intimacy with the Cartwrights was now of long standing.
Shortly after the close of the war, the Cartwrights removed from Virginia to Kentucky, which was then an almost unbroken wilderness. The journey was accompanied with considerable danger, as the Indians were not yet driven west of the Ohio, but the family reached their destination in safety.
