Yet, whenever she went for a walk, she felt her feet taking her towards Undern. Then, quite suddenly, one morning Reddin rode past the house. Mrs. Marston saw him. 'Edward must know of this, she said, very much flustered. 'You ought to go away somewhere, Hazel. 'Away? Why ever? 'Out of temptation. Why not to your aunt's? 'Aunt Prowde wouldna have me. And Ed'ard wouldna like me to go.
"Ah, Dinah, what a sweet thought! and who shall say it may not be so!" "Dar's Massa Edward!" exclaimed Dinah, as a quick, manly step was heard, followed by a light rap upon the door. She hastened to open it "We's ready, Marse Ed'ard." He did not seem to hear or heed her; his eyes were fastened upon his beautiful sister, more beautiful at this moment, he thought, than ever before.
D'ye see, Master Cockrell, me and Bill took Cap'n Bonnet into our confidence. He is an honorable man and to be mentioned along with the great Cap'n Ed'ard Davis what I was shipmates with in the South Sea and at the sack of " "Stow it, grandsire," cried Bill. "I don't want to linger in gaol while you spin that long-winded yarn. Tell the lads what they want to know."
What for didna you tell me in the spring o' the year, Ed'ard? It be winter now, and late and cold. 'There, there! you don't know what you're saying. Come home! Edward did not listen to her, she knew. And, indeed, his brain was weary, and could take in no more. He only knew he must care for Hazel as Christ cared for the lambs of His fold.
Later, she said: 'How'd you like it, Ed'ard, if somebody was after you, like a weasel after a rabbit or a terrier at a fox-earth? What'd you do? 'What morbid things you think of, dear! 'What'd you do? 'I don't know. 'There's nought to do. Edward remembered his creed. 'I should pray, Hazel. 'What good'd that do? 'God answers prayers. 'That He dunna!
"Dis am de sewin'-room an' fo' de present yo' dinin'-room also," she announced as she ushered them in; "an' dat am de bedroom whar Mr. Ed'ard an' Miss Zoe tole me you uns is to sleep. Dar's watah dar an' soap an' towels, s'posin' you likes fo' to wash off de dust ob trabel befo' you sits down to de table.
'What would you say to May, Hazel, early May lilac-time? 'I'd like it right well. 'And suppose we fix it the day after the spring flower-show at Evenwood, and go to it together? 'I'm going with father to sing. 'Well, when you've sung, you can have tea with me. 'Thank you kindly, Mr. Marston. 'Edward. 'Ed'ard. Abel came round the house.
She stood uncomfortably looking up at him as a rabbit looks, surprised half-way out of its burrow. 'Where be going? she asked at last. 'Looking for you. Hazel could not enjoy the flattery of this; she was so perturbed by his nearness. 'Where's your lord and master? 'Ed'ard inna my master. None is. A hot indignant flush surged over her. 'Yes, said he; 'I am.
'Tenty's breath fluttered, and she turned cold. Just at that moment, one of her neighbors murmured under her bonnet, "That's Hanner-Ann, next to Miss Parker; only to think how sly she's kep' it a hull year! And she engaged to Ed'ard all that time!
If I broke that oath, when I was jead, my cold soul 'ud wander and find ne'er a bit of rest, crying about the Mountains and about, nights, and Ed'ard thinking it was the wind. 'If you chuck him, he'll soon get over it; if you chuck me, I shan't. He's never gone after the drink and women. It was a curious plea for a lover. 'Miss Clomber said you wunna a good man. 'Well, I'm blowed! But look here.
