You're a beautiful girl, my dear you're the pick of my bevy. But I must bring back the roses to those cheeks Mildred Grant, eh? Jack Etherington used to call you that: he was a great rose-fancier old Jack. Do you remember our tea-party last summer? And how happy we were? Let's be happy again, my lamb! Come, my child, can't you squeeze me out one little smile?
Not a wig among them. The lodges must have been full of them, but their legs saved their scalps." "Is it for this they call them wigwams?" cries naughty Miss Chew. "Fie! fie!" says her mamma, while my aunt laughed merrily. "A mere Potomac planter," said Etherington, "'pon my soul and with such airs, as if they were gentlemen of the line."
"But thou hast kept the good wine until now." By George, he must remember that for old Welbore. And now he came to think of it, old Jack Etherington had come in one morning full of Percival's daughter "A lovely gal" he had said, that old Jack "colour of a Mildred Grant quiet as the truth."
I will just state, however, that most of what I have here related has been transmitted to me by direct oral traditions, for I seldom saw my ancestor, and when we did meet, it was only to settle accounts, to eat a leg of mutton together, and to part like those who, at least, have never quarrelled. Not so with Dr. Etherington.
Montresor and that ape Etherington grinning, and, worst of all, a charming young woman just come to live here with her aunt, and she too must have her say when the Quakers and the men were gone." "And what did she say?" I did not care much. "And what is her name?"
My father gazed for a whole minute intently on the placid features of his wife, and left the room in silence. He was followed by Dr. Etherington, who accompanied him to the private apartment where they had first met that night, neither uttering a syllable until both were seated. "She was a good woman, Dr. Etherington!" said the widowed man, shaking his foot with agitation.
Etherington, laughing, "for no other reason than that it is an uncertain calling one that is liable to sudden reverses what is termed gambling and whatever renders property insecure is sure to obtain odium among those whose principal concern is its accumulation; those who consider the responsibility of others of essential importance to themselves." "But is it a dishonest pursuit, father?"
As I entered she rose, expecting an older guest, and, as I had been bid, I bowed low and touched her hand with my lips, as I said: "Dear Aunt Gainor, it has been so long!" I could have said nothing better. She laughed. "Here is my nephew, Mr. Etherington" this to an English major; "and, Captain Wallace of the king's navy, my nephew."
Etherington will consent to receive him, I will send Jack to his house this very evening; for, to own the truth, I am but little qualified to take charge of a child under a year old. A hundred a year, more or less, shall not spoil so good a bargain."
