"Dar ye go agin," said she; "now quit a callin' me witches and sich, or else say why?" "Didn't I see you dis berry even'?" said Dolf. "In course ye did; we was to Mrs. Hopkins's when de meeting was ober." "And wasn't Elder Spotts dar, too?" "In course he was; yer knows it well enough." "I knows it too well," said Dolf.
"Riekje," Dolf whispered, "I shall always love you." "Dolf," replied Riekje, "I shall love you till death." "I am two years older than you are, Riekje. When you were ten I was twelve, and I think I loved you then, but not so much as now." "No, dear, you have only known me since last May. All the rest is not true. Tell me, Dolf, that all the rest is not true.
Dolf took off his hat and entered the church. He hid himself behind a pillar and saw the silver-nailed coffin disappear beneath the black catafalque. "Lord God," he said, "may Thy will be done. Forgive him as I have forgiven him."
After their return home, that young gentleman lingered in the basement, looking so miserable that Clorinda asked the cause. "Yer knows," said Dolf, prolonging the situation as much as possible, in the hope that some bright thought would strike him by which the conversation might be led round to the subject uppermost in his worldly mind; "yer knows very well."
'Spec it don't consarn nobody here; only, as Miss Clorindy's a lady of property, she naterally feels interested in what happens to oder folks wid fortins." Clo bridled, and Dolf said majestically, feeling that he had already a share in her wealth: "In course, in course; perceed, Mr. Othello."
Dolf put his head beside her on the pillow, and their breath and their hearts were as one during that sleep. Dolf went off into the town one morning. Funeral bells were tolling, and their knell echoed through the air like the hoarse cry of gulls and petrels above the shipwrecked.
A gemman, too, as has been a visitor in dis dentical house. Marster catched him in de act ob takin' out de silver, and de gemman robber, I mean felt so 'shamed ob himself dat he up and banged a bullet straight frough his own bussom, afore Miss Elsie, too!" "Poor thing; precious little darling," cried Tom; "Mellen's left her all alone, and Elizabeth away; dear me! Dolf, Dolf, what was that?"
Dolf and Tobias clapped their hands and Riekje admired Nelle's dexterity. "A plate, quick!" The first koekebakke was spread out, golden and juicy, the color of a fried sole. Who would have this first one? It should be for Tobias; Tobias passed it on to Riekje, and the young girl cut it in pieces and shared it with Dolf.
Dolf was frightened at once; when Clo got into one of her desponding humors she became very religious without delay; and he trembled with fear that she would condemn him to Methodist hymns and a prayer-meeting that very night. "Don't say dat, Miss Clorindy, now don't!" he exclaimed pathetically.
Clorinda, filled with indignation by this strange proceeding, turned in search of the cause, and lo! there was Dolf, Mr. Mellen's own man, crossing the lawn, with two other gentlemen of color, evidently from the city.
