"You are doing that, Doctor, and I heartily sympathize with you in your labors," answered the Professor. "I only insist that, when permitted by the fair Feodora, we sail immediately for our destination." "That we will, Professor, and I promise not to enter into any arrangements that shall prevent our going as soon as possible," replied Dr. Jones.
If I do not, I shall remember the hours I have spent with you as the pleasantest of my life," continued Shuffles. "But I am not going to think of such a thing as not seeing you again," persisted Lady Feodora. "I shudder every time I recall the circumstances under which we met. But for your daring courage and your wonderful skill, both Sir William and myself would have been drowned."
The earl's party had taken apartments at the Hôtel Marquardt for the night, and Shuffles sent word to them that he was about to leave. He was invited to the elegant parlor occupied by his lordship, where he proceeded at once to take leave of Lady Feodora. "Probably we shall never meet again," said he. "If we "
He has even told me that I might dismiss Sir William, when we return to England, if I found it impossible to like him," answered Feodora, artlessly; and English girls speak on such subjects with less reserve than American damsels. "Here comes Sir William. I shall write to you at the first opportunity after we separate."
Perth and some others declared they should not return, but their parents thought otherwise, and with hardly an exception, they did return, and the institution continued to prosper. Shuffles, it need not be said, kept his promise to Lady Feodora, and hardly a week passed in which a letter did not cross the ocean from him to her, and from her to him.
"Feodora and I will pray before the ikon to the saints morning and night to protect you wherever you may be." "Pray for me as Godfrey Bullen, Mikail; that is my real name. I am English, and it is to England I shall make my way." "Godfrey Bullen," the man repeated four or five times over. "I shall not forget it. Feodora and I will teach it to our children if the good God should send us any."
As they approached the house, an elderly lady and gentleman rushed down from the veranda, and grasped Feodora in their arms at the same moment. They were her parents, and wept tears of joy over her safe return. "We thought you were lost," said the fond mother. "I have sent boats in every direction to look for you," added the father. "Mr.
"So I do, under ordinary circumstances," replied the baronet, rather nettled at the implied censure. "It was a very savage storm," added Shuffles. "I never saw anything like it, even in the Channel," said Feodora. "But you seemed to handle the boat just as easily as though the wind came only in zephyrs."
"Perhaps there is another objection to our meeting again, or at least to permitting a friendship to grow up between us," said Shuffles, continuing the subject. "What can there be?" asked Feodora. "You belong to the nobility of England, while I am only the son of a Republican American." "A fig for the nobility!" exclaimed she. "They are just like other people."
But sometimes when her mother had to stay at home, she was allowed to go out driving all alone with her dear Feodora and her dear Lehzen, and she could talk and look as she liked, and it was very delightful. The visits to Claremont were frequent enough; but one day, on a special occasion, she paid one of a rarer and more exciting kind.
