As Floracita pointed to the ottomans their mother had embroidered, and the boxes and table she had painted, she said: "Our good friend the Signor sent those. He promised to buy them." "He could not buy them, poor man!" answered Fitzgerald, "for he was in prison at the time of the auction; but he did not forget to enjoin it upon me to buy them."
When they re-entered the house, Floracita occupied herself with various articles of her wardrobe; consulting with Rosa whether any alterations would be necessary before they were packed for France. It evidently cost Rosa some effort to attend to her innumerable questions, for the incessant chattering disturbed her revery.
He'd give his biggest diamond for such a dancer as Floracita; and what is his Flower of the World compared to my Rosamunda?" Floracita, whose warm heart always met affection as swiftly as one drop of quicksilver runs to another, became almost as much attached to him as she was to Rosa. "How kind Gerald is to me!" she would say to Tulee.
Delano, slipping a gold eagle into her hand. "And now go, my dear, before you tell me more than you wish to." "Not more than I wish," rejoined Floracita; "but more than I ought. I wish to tell you everything." In a childish way she put up her lips for a kiss, and the lady drew her to her heart and caressed her tenderly. When Flora had descended the steps of the piazza, she turned and looked up.
"I don't know of any new trouble that can come to us now," said Rosa, "unless you should be taken from us, as our father was. It seems as if everything else had happened that could happen." "O, there are worse things than having me die," replied Madame. Floracita had paused with her thread half drawn through her work, and was looking earnestly at the troubled countenance of their friend.
What shall you tell them about us when you get back from Nassau?" "I don't intend to tell them much of anything," replied Madame. "I may, perhaps, give them a hint that one of your father's old friends invited you to come to the North, and that I did not consider it my business to hinder you." "O fie, Madame!" said Floracita; "what a talent you have for arranging the truth with variations!"
While she was doing this, tears fell on her dear young mistress, lying there so broken and helpless, talking incoherently about her father and Floracita, about being a slave and being sold. This continued eight or ten days, during which she never seemed to recognize Tulee's presence, or to be conscious where she was.
Talbot; "but he has the name of being something of a roué, and rather fond of cards." "Can the death of Floracita be apocryphal?" thought Alfred. "Could he be capable of selling her? No. Surely mortal man could not wrong that artless child." He returned to his lodgings, feeling more fatigued and dispirited than usual.
After a while he forgot to count; and as his spirit hovered between the inner and the outer world, Floracita seemed to be dancing on the leaf shadows in manifold graceful evolutions. Then he was watching a little trickling fountain, and the falling drops were tones of "The Light of other Days."
Rosa sighed as she pressed her sister's hand, and said: "Perhaps I have already conjectured rightly about it, Floracita. My eyes were opened by bitter experiences after we were parted. Some time I will explain to you how I came to run to Europe in such a hurry, with Madame and the Signor." "But tell me, the first thing of all, whether Tulee is dead," rejoined Flora.
