I asked like a brutal bear, bringing the realities of life into my darling's girlish dream. "Can't you practice law in Foxcroft, and drive over there every morning? People do." "And because they do, and there are enough of them, I must plod along in the ways that are made for me already. We can make pilgrimages here, you know." "I suppose so," said Bessie with a sigh.
Clarissa had her own ideas about the heir of the Grangers. Not a crumpled rose-leaf had rose-leaves been flying about just then must roughen her darling's bed. The softest lawn, the downiest, most delicate woollens, were hardly good enough to wrap her treasure.
Willie was too near her darling's age to be a welcome sight, but he was already a prime pet with the servants at Springfield; and Annaple, secure that her children were in safe and experienced hands, and overflowing with motherly sympathy for the grievous loss, was ready to devote herself to Nuttie, whether by talk, by letter writing, or by seeing inquiring friends.
At the end of the week, the devoted young nurse had the delight of hearing her "Angel" laugh outright, for the first time in so many days, and to feel her darling's arms about her own neck while the pale little lips cried out once more the familiar, "Bonny come! Bonny come!"
Yet there were few symptoms of the headache when I found her standing in the bow-window, watching the path by which I came, and the face of Aurora herself could scarcely be brighter or fresher than my darling's innocent blushes when I greeted her with the privileged kiss of betrothal.
Madam Liberality shed fewer tears after she grew up than she had done before, but she had some heart-aches which did not heal. The thing which did most to cure her of being too managing for the good of other people was Darling's marriage. If ever Madam Liberality had felt proud of self-sacrifice and success, it was about this.
Poor old grandmother wipes her eyes continually, leaving the house quickly at times to rush home and mourn alone, as she is so constrained to do, her sorrow for her darling's sufferings being very sincere.
Then my husband, my handsome husband my darling's father, walked in, with the bride on his arm, and the minister met them, saying: 'Dearly beloved . I ceased to be a woman then, I was a fury, a wild beast and two minutes later my darlings were mine once more, safe from that other woman dead at my feet. Then the ball I aimed at my own breast missed its destination.
Vincy seeing her darling's changed looks and general misery, began to cry and said she would send for Dr. Sprague. "Oh, nonsense, mother! It's nothing," said Fred, putting out his hot dry hand to her, "I shall soon be all right. I must have taken cold in that nasty damp ride." Lydgate, stopping to speak to some one. If I were you I would call him in. He has cured Ellen Bulstrode.
When HE comes and takes her from us, his love from the very beginning is like an axe laid to the root of all the old affection in our darling's heart, and all the ties that bound her to her family are severed. But yesterday our little daughter thought of no one but her mother and father, as we had no thought that was not for her; by to-morrow she will have become a hostile stranger.
