There was still Jake, who wrote occasionally, asking for his lill Miss and telling of Mandy Ann, whom the war had made free, and who had married Ted, and was living in her own house outside the clearing. Everything was out of the way except Eudora, who, before he had proposed his trip to Europe, took herself from him in a most summary manner.
He had driven his wife and Adah first to church, as the day was stormy, and ere returning for the ladies, had escorted Adah up the aisle and turned her into the family pew, where she sat unconscious of the admiring looks cast upon her by those already assembled, or of the indignant astonishment of Miss Asenath and Eudora when they found that for one half day at least they must he disgraced by sitting with their servant.
"How could you have heard of it?" inquired Philothea, with an accent of strong surprise. "Alcibiades had a more eager curiosity than yourself," replied Eudora. "He soon ascertained the name of the lovely Canephorae that he saw in the Gardens of Urania; and he has never ceased importuning Aspasia, until you were persuaded to visit her house."
Eudora paced down the sidewalk with a magnificent, stately gait. There was something rather magnificent in her whole appearance. Her skirts of old, but rich, black fabric swept about her long, advancing limbs; she held her black-bonneted head high, as if crowned. She pushed the cumbersome baby-carriage with no apparent effort. An ancient India shawl was draped about her sloping shoulders.
"Of what consequence is it, in what sea, or on what voyage, a seaman goes into his watery tomb? but for thee, my hapless and playful Eudora, I could wish another fate ha! she tacks! the sea-green lady has an instinct for her children, after all!" The brigantine was in stays. In ten or fifteen minutes more, the vessel was again abeam of the raft, and to windward.
Neither Asenath nor Eudora, nor the lady mother liked this kind of conformation, but Anna was generally right, and they did not annihilate Mrs. Roe with a contemptuous frown as they had fully intended doing. Mrs. Johnson and her daughter Alice had been present, they heard, the latter actually joining in some of the plays, and the new clergyman, Mr.
Let your Greek costume be laid aside; for I would not have my daughter appear like a foreigner, in the presence of her king." With a palpitating heart, Eudora resigned herself into the hands of her Persian tire-women, who so loaded her with embroidery and gems, that she could scarcely support their weight. She was conveyed to the palace in a cedar carriage, carefully screened from observation.
"No, dear. We must shield him all we can." Yes, they would try always. There was a little rift in the cloud of pain. The next evening Captain Hawthorne came over to bid them a formal good-by. Helen Chapman and her lover and Eudora were there, so it was an unembarrassing affair with many good wishes on both sides. Doris thought she would like to run away and hide.
She forgot all my pride, and consented to marry you, that she might become your nurse, when we all feared that you would be restored to us no more." Paralus looked up with a bright expression of gratitude, and said, "I thank you, father. This was very kind. Now you will be her father, when I am gone." Perceiving that Pericles and Eudora wept, he added: "Do not mourn because I am soon to depart.
