As much as he had expected her departure, and looked painfully forward to it, this certainty that she was leaving on the morrow and without a word to him bewildered him. He abandoned at once the work that was occupying him. “I didn’ know Miss Melicent was goin’ away to-morrow,” he said in a strange pleading voice to Hosmer. “Why, yes,” Hosmer answered, “I thought you knew.
Sam! you lazy feller, you han't got nothing to do but gape at folks ha' you seen the doctor go by this forenoon?" "I seen him go down to Mis' Perriman's," said Sam, "Mis' Perriman was a-dyin', Jim Barstow said." "How long since?" said his mistress. But Sam shuffled and shuffled, looked every way but at Ellen or Mrs. Forbes, and "didn' know." "Well, then," said Mrs.
"She didn' look lak no lady what was goin' on no excu'sion," he muttered, darkly. Laurie rushed back to his rooms with pounding heart and on the way opened and read at a glance his first note from Doris. It was written in pencil, seemingly on a scrap of paper torn from the pad he had seen on her desk. Long Island, I think. An old house, on the Sound, somewhere near Sea Cliff.
I didn' go much, 'cause I didn' have 'ligion, den. Us didn' have no schoolin'. Us could go to school wid de white chillun if us wanted to, but didn' nobody teach us. I's educated, but I aint educated in de books. I's educated by de licks an' bumps I got. "My white folks was good people an' didn' whup nobody, 'less dey needed it. Some o' de Niggers was sho' 'nough bad.
"She'd be an old bird before she got there, at our pace," Tilda agreed. "But, o' course, Mr. Bossom, if we want to get to Stratford quick, an' you don't, you'll make the pace what you like an' never mind us." "Who said I didn' want to get to Stratford?" he asked almost fiercely, and broke off with a groan.
'That's odd, I thought: for I'd never heard of his collectin' such things. But he's often told me how lonely a constable feels, an' I thought he might have picked up wi' the habit to amuse himself. So on I walked, waitin' for him to catch me up; an' by-an'-by turned about to look for en. There he was, on the path, an' be damned if he didn' dodge behind another bush! I wonder if 'tis sunstroke?
Captain Cai stooped, picked it up, and held it gingerly in his hand. "She didn' seem a careless sort, neither," he mused. "Not altogether," the child agreed with him. "Dinah," said Mrs Bosenna, halting suddenly as they walked homeward in the dusk, "I've left one of my cuffs behind!" "Yes, mistress." "'Yes, mistress," Mrs Bosenna mimicked her.
The look on his face smote her, and the spark died out of her eyes as he said, slowly: "No, I knowed you didn'! I don't know as anybody does, exceptin' my old woman. Maybe she will a little. I jist wanted to tell you that I wouldn't a' fit them boys if they hadn't a' pushed me so hard, and I wan't afeared to fight your old man, I jist wouldn't that's all."
Graye," says I from the top o' church'ard wall, "how's yerself?" Mr. Graye never spoke he'd prided away his hearen. Seize the man, I didn' want en to spak. Teddy hears it, and turns round: "All right, Gad!" says he, and laughed like a boy. There's more in Teddy.
"No, I didn'. It was 'Ucks that mentioned Stratford said you'd find a cargo of beer there, which sounded all right: an' Mortimer jumped at it soon as ever he 'eard the name.
