Just at this moment Ensal's mother informed him that a committee was in their parlor, having come for the purpose of pleading with Ensal to reconsider his determination to leave America. "Madam," said Mr.
So he journeyed along cherishing an ever-increasing attachment, but content for the present to worship her at a distance. Mrs. Crawford, with all her quietness, was an exceedingly wise woman. She did not know exactly what it was, but she knew as well as did Ensal and Tiara that there was an artificial barrier between them.
Ensal had been following her to the door, and the two now stood near each other. "She is just tall and large enough to be grand in appearance, which, coupled with her beauty of face and symmetry of form, make her fit to set a new standard of loveliness in woman," mentally observed Ensal. "Mr. Ellwood," said Tiara, "I perceive that you are an admirer of Frederick Douglass.

Ensal's mother went to the parlor with his final word, and Ensal returned to Mr. A. Hostility. Tiara was now at home praying that Ensal might not leave America yet awhile. Mr. A. Hostility was also praying to his evil genius for a like result. Monstrous incongruity! How often do diverse spirits from widely differing motives work toward a common end! Two of a Kind.
Ensal had come to the conclusion many years previous that marriage was not for him, and hitherto woman had had no entrance into the inner chambers of his thoughts.
At about one o'clock Ensal, standing in the shadow of the framework of the bridge, saw Earl walking rapidly in his direction. As the latter was about to pass, Ensal laid a hand firmly upon his shoulder. Earl looked around quickly to learn the meaning of the firm grasp and recognized him.
Her eyes would have made a face of less regular features appear beautiful. As for Tiara, they made her beauty simply dazzling. When Earl's wits, swept away by Tiara's beauty, slowly returned, it dawned upon him to his great astonishment that he was face to face with the young woman who had ridden into Almaville with Ensal and himself.
"Earl," began Ensal, slowly, earnestly, "do you know the Anglo-Saxon race and particularly that brand found in the South? Provoke the passions of that race, arouse the dormant but ever-present fear of secret plottings for a general uprising, and you will inaugurate the wholesale slaughter of innocent men, women and children.
