Never had Edward Hallett's resolution been more severely tried than when he saw her kneel, with clasped hands and uplifted face, at her father's knee, and heard her pray in her own simple words that "God would bless the poor little dumb boy whom he had sent to them, and that he would make him speak, and give him a good heart, that he might love them."
I went to the person who was threshing some out, and having been informed that it was sown only with one seed in a hole, I procured some of Mr. Hallett, of Brighton; and, being anxious to try the system, I planted it according to Mr. Hallett's directions one grain in a hole, the holes nine and a half inches apart, with six inches between the rows.
Edward Hallett's first thought was for Emily; he felt for her on every side, but she was not in the state-room; he groped his way into the cabin, but he could not find her, and he heard no sound that told of her existence. In terror for her, self was forgotten love conquered fear, as it had already obtained the empire over hate, and he called her "Emily dear Emily! hear me answer me, Emily?"
Sophrony Hallett's gone to Ostable, but she won't be back till to-morrow I cal'late. Hello! there she whistles now." Needless to say it was the train, not the widow Hallett, that had whistled. The depot master rose from his chair. A yellow dog, his property, scrambled from beneath it, and rushing out of the door and to the farther end of the platform, barked furiously.
Mary-'Gusta could hear the hens clucking and the voices of people talking. The voices were two: one was that of Mrs. Hobbs, the housekeeper, and the other belonged to Mr. Abner Hallett, the undertaker. Mary-'Gusta did not like Mr. Hallett's voice; she liked neither it nor its owner's manner; she described both voice and manner to herself as "too soothy." They gave her the shivers. Mr.
For a few seconds nothing was heard but quick, short breaths on all sides. Presently Hallett's voice, hoarse and low, asked: "What does it mean, Brady?" Jack, white to the lips, pointed from the Hare to Armitage, then to the spot where he had found him. The Hare was shivering and sobbing. "Hallett I hear you say knifes war wiz knifes! I on'y go to ze Toppeen-drowner.
"Nor with the others, for the matter of that," returned Jack, looking straight into Hallett's face. Hallett moved away with a short grunt, for want of an answer. Then, remembering one, he turned back. "What about young Frere? What did you think of that?" "I'd have stopped him if I could. But he didn't mean any harm.
Miss Phipps put in a word. "But perhaps Nelson's right, after all, Lulie," she said. "There is no reason in the world why he shouldn't come to see you, and maybe he and Cap'n Jeth might as well have a plain understandin' now as any time." Miss Hallett's agitation increased. "Oh, no," she cried, again. "Don't you see it mustn't happen, on father's account?
Galusha, crouching behind the tomb and wondering if the time had come for him to show himself, waited anxiously. But Captain Hallett's answer, when at last he did reply, sounded no nearer. Apparently the men were now standing still. "Well," grunted the light keeper, "I'll listen to you for the five minutes, Raish, but no more. I hadn't ought to do that.
"That is all, I believe.... I I am very sorry.... After your extreme kindness to me, it was I... I think perhaps, if you will excuse me, I will go to my room. I am ah somewhat agitated. Good-night." He was turning away, but Cabot called to him. "Here, wait a minute, Loosh," he cried. "There is one thing more you haven't told us. Why on earth did you buy Hallett's four hundred shares?"
