She did not like him and she did not actually fear him, but she had a feeling that he listened to what she said, and that she must tell him any news she had. There was never much except on "Aunt Clarkson's day", as she called it.
Marvyn's eyes turned on him an anxious look of inquiry. He answered, however, calmly: "Doctor, I have thought of the subject, myself. Mrs. Marvyn has lately been reading a pamphlet of Mr. Thomas Clarkson's on the slave-trade, and she was saying to me only last night, that she did not see but the argument extended equally to holding slaves.
"I don't mean to argue the matter," the Doctor answered. "You've had warning enough; and I mean you to go. Loose my horse." Clarkson's face was growing darker every moment. He held the bridle more firmly, and began to speak again.
Clarkson's name was Henrietta, but her pet name was Henie. Mr. Clarkson said. "Henie, I shan't hurt Isom." Isom, who had a smooth, black, round face, full eyes, white teeth, was a very beautiful negro.

It was the custom of the ladies at Mrs. Clarkson's to stroll about the lovely rural walks after dinner and until twilight; and on this particular evening they departed in twos and threes, leaving me to make my apology without witnesses.
"It seems as if we were to blame, because it was my poor Bella's loss that brought this on him." "It was Clarkson's wickedness, nothing else. But do not let us talk of that. Some good has come out of the evil, as you see." The eyes of both the friends rested on the father and daughter so strangely brought together.
