If two stranger queens, sole survivors of two shipwrecked vessels, were cast, half-naked, on a rock together, each would at once address the other as "Our Royal Sister." Helen Darley looked into the dark eyes of Bernard Langdon glittering with the light which flashed from them with his question.
They must be servant some day." "Amen!" responded Asher Aydelot, and the Sabbath service ended. Two weeks later Darley Champers came again to the barren valley and met the settlers in the sod schoolhouse. Not a cloud had yet scarred the heavens, not a dewdrop had glistened in the morning sunlight. Clearly, August was outranking July as king of a season of glaring light and withering heat.
Mark knew of his danger, but it did not trouble him, for his brain was too much occupied by the presence of young Darley; and as he descended he felt a slight flush of pride in doing what he was certain his young enemy dare not attempt.
Darley looked at her sharply, but with some signs of sympathy on his grave face. 'My woman, he said 'a could ha' wished as you'd niver seen t' watch. It's poor, thankless work thinking too much on one o' God's creatures. But a'll do thy bidding, he continued, in a lighter and different tone. 'A'm a 'cute old badger when need be.
The poor girl's breast rose and fell tumultuously as she spoke, and her voice labored, as if some obstruction were rising in her throat. A scene might possibly have come of it, but the door opened. Mr. Silas Peckham. Miss Darley got away as soon as she well could. "Why did not Miss Darley go to the party last evening?" said Mr. Bernard. "Well, the fact is," answered Mr.
But Mark Eden had not drawn his sword to begin cutting and thrusting; and instead of leaving the lad to hang till he fell, he, Ralph Darley, had, in opposition to his father's men, risked his own life to save that of his enemy going down over a hundred feet, swinging at the end of a couple of ropes badly tied together. "Seems very stupid," the two lads thought.
What said Helen Darley, when she saw with her woman's glance that more than one girl, when she should be looking at her book, was looking over it toward the master's desk? Was her own heart warmed by any livelier feeling than gratitude, as its life began to flow with fuller pulses, and the morning sky again looked bright and the flowers recovered their lost fragrance?
A similar scene had taken place in the dry moat of Cliff Castle; and at the head of his little party of eight, Ralph Darley was silently on his way to the Steeple Stone, a great rugged block of millstone-grit, which rose suddenly from a bare place just at the edge of the moor.
Lewis Darley to-night, by Fall River boat. John Oberville, from Boston at five P.M. Why, I didn't know John Oberville? John Oberville? Here? To-day at five o'clock? Let me see let me look at the list. Are you sure you're not mistaken? Why, she never said a word! Why the deuce didn't you tell me? Isabel. I didn't know. Warland. Oberville Oberville ! Isabel. Why, what difference does it make?
"Splendid!" said the Widow, and to tell the truth, she was not far out of the way, and with Helen Darley as a foil anybody would know she must be foudroyant and pyramidal, if these French adjectives may be naturalized for this one particular exigency. So the Widow sent out her notes.
