If it happened to be Sankey's run and a regular West End day, sunny and delightful, you would be sure to see standing under the catalpas a shy, dark-skinned girl of fourteen or fifteen years, silently watching the preparations for the departure of the Overland.
I thought with horror that Madame de Meilhan would continue to be a prey to soucis if I did not come to her rescue, so I said: "Etienne, what a pity to cull them all! they are so effective in a garden; let us go look for some other flowers it is a shame to ruin your beautiful beds!" The flattered Stephen eagerly followed me to a corner of the garden where I had admired some superb catalpas.
Camors raised his eyes and saw a white hand, resting on the slats of the blind, bathed in sunlight. "That is my wife. Conceal yourself!" cried Lescande, briskly; and he pushed Camors behind a clump of catalpas, as he turned to the balcony and lightly answered: "Yes, my dear; do you wish anything?" "Maxime is with you?" "Yes, mother. I am here," cried the child. "It is a beautiful morning.
Even the firemen used to observe that the young engineer, always neat, looked still neater on the days when he took out Sankey's train. By and by there was an introduction under the catalpas. After that it was noticed that Georgie began wearing gloves on the engine not kid gloves, but yellow dogskin; and black silk shirts he bought them in Denver.
The home is over yonder, only half a day's ride or so." "Is it a nice place?" "I think it's a nice place. There's prairie, but there's timber too. And there's money to be made. You go to sleep now. You'll wake your grandma, and I expect she's tired." "Yes, sir, I'm going. Is there a garden?" "There's a good bit of ground for a garden; and there's a planting of young catalpas.
The May sunshine and shadow had something to do with it; the thickness of foliage and the heavy smells had more; the sense of atmosphere, almost new, had perhaps as much again; and the brooding indolence of a warm climate and a negro population hung in the atmosphere heavier than the catalpas.
The statue is not the work of Phidias, but its dark, rocky background, the flowery catalpas which shadow it, and the bright shower through which it shows itself, altogether make the scene one of singular beauty; add to which, the evening on which I saw it was very sultry, and the contrast of this cool spot to all besides certainly enhanced its attraction; it was impossible not to envy the nymph her eternal shower-bath.
I saw nothing but a vista of catalpas, leafless, loaded with icicles, and terminating in four chimneys and a painted roof. My fancy outstripped my footsteps, and was busy in picturing faces and rehearsing dialogues.
In a short time I spied its painted roof and five chimneys through an avenue of catalpas. When opposite the gate which led into this avenue, I paused. It seemed as if this moment were to decide upon the liberty and innocence of this being. In a moment I might place myself before her, ascertain her true condition, and point out to her the path of honour and safety.
