Only yesterday, that inquisitive Mrs. Tiddy was at our house, and, in conversation respecting you, asked if I knew you to be married to Mr. Garie. I turned the conversation somehow, without giving her a direct answer. Mr. Garie, I must say, does act nobly towards you. He must love you, Emily, for not one white man in a thousand would make such a sacrifice for a coloured woman.
"Draw a chair up to the bed, and let us have a talk about old times. You must excuse my lying down; I don't intend to get up to-day; I feel quite indisposed." Mrs. Ellis took off her bonnet, and prepared for a long chat; whilst Mr. Garie, looking at his watch, declared it was getting late, and started for down town, where he had to transact some business.
"We did not make up any fire," said she, "the weather is very warm to us. I don't know how it may feel to you, though." "It is a little chilly," replied Mrs. Garie, as she sat down upon the sofa, and looked round the room with a smile of pleasure, and added, "All this place wants, to make it the most bewitching of rooms, is a little fire."
But you need have no fear respecting Em getting on with Miss Jordan: I don't believe she could be unkind to any one, least of all to our little darling." "Then you will take them down in the morning," suggested Mrs. Garie; "but on no account leave Emily unless she wishes to stay." Charlie at Warmouth. After the departure of Mrs.
"What are you thinking of, Garie?" asked his wife, looking up into his face. "I hope I have not vexed you by what I've said." "Oh, no, dear, not at all. I was only thinking whether you would be any happier if I acceded to your wishes and removed to the North. Here you live in good style you have a luxurious home, troops of servants to wait upon you, a carriage at your disposal.
Divers were the lamentations heard on all sides, when they were positively convinced that "massa was gwine away for true;" but they were somewhat pacified, when they learned that no one was to be sold, and that the place would not change hands. For Mr. Garie was a very kind master, and his slaves were as happy as slaves can be under any circumstances.
"This way, dear this way!" he cried, leading on toward the back door; "out that way through the gate with the children, and into some of the neighbour's houses. I'll stand here to keep the way." "No, no, Garie," she replied, frantically; "I won't go without you." "You must!" he cried, stamping his foot impatiently; "this is no time to parley go, or we shall all be murdered.
She was waiting there for Clarence and Em. I endeavoured to persuade her to go on without them, but she would not. From what I could understand, she waits for them there every day." "Her mother cannot be aware of it, then; for she has forbidden her children to associate with mine," rejoined Mrs. Garie. "I wonder she permits her little girl to go to the same school.
Depend upon it, we will do all in our power to make our quiet city pleasant to you both." Mr. Garie thanked him, and after some further conversation, rose to depart. As he was leaving the room, he stopped before the picture which had so engaged his attention, when Mr. Walters entered. "So you, too, are attracted by that picture," said Mr. Walters, with a smile.
Garie, who had been reclining on the lounge, partially raised herself and gave Mrs. Stevens a withering look.
