"It makes 'em idle and restless for days, Miss Goldthwaite," said Aunt Hepsy, with grim decision, "an' I ain't a-goin' to have it, so let it a be." Miss Goldthwaite held her peace a moment, and then went straight up to Aunt Hepsy, and, to Lucy's amazement, laid her two hands on her shoulders and looked into her face with laughing eyes.
"This is September," said Aunt Hepsy very slowly; "October, November, December, January perhaps nigh half a year. Well, Miss Goldthwaite, excuse me sayin' it, but the Lord'll need to help your husband; he'll not be able to help hisself, that's certain. Ye'd move the Peak, as I've said afore." "Am I to take that as your permission, Miss Hepsy?" "Hev ye spoke to Lucy?"
Two days after this, Leslie Goldthwaite was as cosily established in the Josselyns' room as if she had been there every day all summer. Some people are like drops of quicksilver, as Martha Josselyn had declared, only one can't tell how that is till one gets out of the bottle.
"Yes, ma'am," Harry answered back, in an excessively cheery way. "We're coming"; and up the stairs all three came together, greatly to Mrs. Holabird's astonishment. "You never know where help is coming from when you're trying to do your duty," said Barbara, in a high-moral way. "Prince Percinet, Mrs. Holabird." "Miss Polly-put " began Harry Goldthwaite, brimming up with a half-diffident mischief.
We were as sure as if she had said it, that these were the things that were in her mind, and that these were what she had run away from. How she had done it we did not know; we had no doubt it had been something awful. The next morning nobody called. Father came home to dinner and said Mr. Goldthwaite had told him that Harry was under orders, to the "Katahdin."
It was proof of the rare delicacy of Robert Keane's nature that he put the matter in the light of a favour to himself. Mr. Goldthwaite admired and honoured his friend at that moment more than he had ever done before. Aunt Hepsy preserved a rigid and unbending silence. Uncle Josh stood twirling his thumbs reflectively.
"Neither at that, nor treble the sum," responded the gaunt, grizzled and threadbare Peter Goldthwaite. "The fact is, Mr. Brown, you must find another site for your brick block and be content to leave my estate with the present owner. Next summer I intend to put a splendid new mansion over the cellar of the old house." "Pho, Peter!" cried Mr.
Goldthwaite came in with Carrie on his arm, and they took their places silently; and in a very few minutes Frank had uttered the irrevocable words, and the wedding was over. Then Mr. and Mrs. George Keane received abundant congratulations, and they adjourned to partake of breakfast. In the hall stood a quantity of baggage labelled "Mrs.
Holabird went home at last, he walked over with him. Just after they had gone Leslie Goldthwaite and Harry stopped, "for a minute only," they said; for the south-wind had brought up clouds, and there was rain threatening. That was how we all happened to be just as we were that night of the September gale; for it was the September gale of last year that was coming.
"Miss Goldthwaite Miss Walcott; Miss Shannon Miss Goldthwaite; my sister, Mrs. Linceford." "Me voici!" And a third came up suddenly, laying a hand upon each of the Haddens from behind. "You, Sin Saxon! How many more?" "We're coming, Father Abraham! All of us, nearly, three hundred thousand more or less; half the Routh girls, with Madam to the fore!"
