"Why, it's Flidda Ringgan!" said Miss Gall, after a dubious look or two at her visitor. "How do you do? I didn't 'spect to see you. How much you have growed!" She looked really pleased, and gave Fleda's hand a very strong grasp as she shook it.
James." More was said, but so thick and low that she could understand nothing. She had heard enough. She shut the window, trembling, and fastened again the parts of her dress she had loosened; and softly and hastily went down the stairs into the kitchen. "Cynthy! what is the matter with grandpa!" "Why aint you in bed, Flidda?" said Cynthy, with some sharpness. "That's what you had ought to be.
Well Flidda," he added, with somewhat of a sly gleam in his eye, "do you think you're going to make up your mind to stay to hum this time?" "I have no immediate intention of running away, Mr. Douglass," said Fleda, her pale cheeks turning rose as she saw him looking curiously up and down the edges of the black fox.

Come!" "It'll make an awful smoke, Flidda; you'll fill your grandpa's room with the smoke, and he wont like that, I guess. "O, he wont mind it," said Fleda. "Will you, grandpa?"
"Well your grandpa thought he'd like to have her come down, and he don't feet right well, so I sent Watkins up; but you'd better go to bed, Flidda; you'll catch cold if you sit up o'night." Fleda was unsatisfied, the more because Cynthy would not meet the keen searching look with which the little girl tried to read her face.
