"Look! Look!" cried Sylvia, gasping, "the mouth!" Deborah looked and gave a moan. Aaron's mouth was rigidly closed under a glittering jewel. Deborah bent down, still moaning, so great did the horror of the thing paralyse her speech, and saw the lights flash back from many diamonds: she saw bluish gleams and then a red sparkle like the ray of the setting sun.
"The daughter of Har-hat!" he cried, retreating a step. "The daughter of mine enemy," she went on. "She found me here by accident and took me to her home in Memphis. There Deborah died. And there, eighteen days agone, I discovered who it was that sheltered me, and now I return to my people." "The fan-bearer did not find thee?" he demanded at once. "Nay. Unseen, I looked upon his man.
The Squire made one or two futile attempts to engage me in a game, but Cousin Amelia was determined to have him all to herself; and as it was getting near the time at which I take Aunt Deborah her broth for poor Aunt Deborah, I am sorry to say, is very ill in bed I made my escape, and as I ran upstairs heard the billiard-room bell ring, and Squire Haycock summon up courage to "know if Lady Horsingham was at leisure, as he wished to see her for five minutes alone in the drawing-room."
There'll be no living in the house!" With deepening displeasure he watched the struggle between them go on. Sometimes it seemed to Roger there was not a topic he could bring up which would not in some way bring on a clash. One night in desperation he proposed the theatre. "I'm afraid we can't afford it," said Edith, glancing at Deborah.
It's a positive fact." "You must be a smart clerk!" "Well, it isn't for me to say," said Ferdinand, laughing. "When be you goin' out?"

"I'm real glad to see you, Ferdinand," said Aunt Deborah, the more warmly because she considered him so prosperous that she would have no call to help him.
At last the nightmare ended. One afternoon as he sat in his study, Allan came in slowly and dropped exhausted into a chair. He turned to Roger with a smile. "Safe now, I think," he said quietly. Roger went to Deborah and found her asleep, her face at peace. He went to his room and fell himself into a long dreamless slumber.
His son's daughter should never be brought up by an actress; it was bad enough that her mother had been one and had doubtless transmitted the taint to her child. But in Spring Valley, if anywhere, it might be eradicated. At first neither Cyrus nor Deborah cared much for Joscelyn.
Accordingly, there have been in the Church, in all ages, holy women who have received the Spirit and been called to a ministration in the things of God, such as Deborah, Huldah, and Anna, the prophetess. In our own days, most uncommon manifestations of divine grace have been given to holy women.
Because she is the sister of Miss Deborah, you understand, Gifford. Perhaps you will be so good as to hand me the square package from that same little drawer? Here is the key." Gifford brought it: it was a daguerreotype case, much worn and frayed along the leather back, and without the little brass hooks which used to fasten it; instead, a bit of ribbon had been tied about it to keep it closed.
"Certainly, Miss Deborah," he replied, not daring to preface the words with even a "How-do-you-do". "I want to see him I want to see him particularly." Deb swept round to lead the way downstairs. An embarrassing march it was, tandem fashion, through the long passages of the rambling house.
