For some days there was an added gloom on Miss Rachel's countenance, but the wound was not deep; and after a time her disappointment ceased to rankle in her too sensitive heart. Seven years slipped by unmarked by any important change. The Hardings were still prosperous in an humble way.
Somebody spoke roughly to him. You can ruffle the feathers of them birds mighty easy." This was all the comment the ranger made upon the story; but later he wandered down to the new lot which the Hardings were clearing, and instead of lending a hand inquired particularly of Enoch where he had seen the campfire the night before.
"I'll roast the big one from two o'clock on," said Mary Lou, "and give the little ones turn and turn about. The oven won't hold more than two." "I'll be home in time to make the pudding sauce," her mother said, "but open it early, dear, so that it won't taste tinny. Poor Hardings! A sad, sad Thanksgiving for them!" And Mrs. Lancaster sighed.
I lived on Gallatin Pike long 'fore de war, an uster se'd de soldiers ride by." "Mah marsters name wuz Wm. Penn Harding. Mah daddy wuz sold at Sparta, Tennessee 'fore I wuz bawn en Marster Harding bought 'im. Mah mammy erready 'longed ter de Hardings." "I don' member much 'bout slavery I wuz small, but I know I wore a leetle ole slip wid two er three bottons in frunt.
Obed Taylor, driver of the Trumet bake-cart, and a devout believer, had been drawn from his home village; Miss Tamson Black, her New Hampshire visit over, was seated in the front row; Erastus Beebe accompanied his sister Ophelia.

After the opera he went to a party in Grosvenor Street where again he managed to produce talk of the Hardings. It seemed that Lady Mansford had not exaggerated very much. Among those who knew the Hardings a change in the rector of St. Joseph's had evidently been generally noticed. Malling took in to supper a Mrs.
But the Hardings had little time to waste upon politics. The boys had to drop the drilling soon, too, for it came ploughing and seed time. 'Siah Bolderwood remained about the settlement rather later than usual that year; and mainly for the reason that public affairs were so strained.
"I presume," I said, "that she will take up the game, and also the turf. The three Hardings doubtless will form one of those delightful family parties which add so much to the merriment of a golf course.
Chilvers pretends to think it does, and seems to take much delight in harping on that subject. As a matter of curiosity I should like to know when and where Carter first met the Hardings. Once or twice I have thrown out a hint to Carter, but he has not said a word. Carter is a good-looking chap, and I think he knows it. The fond mammas here in the club consider him a catch.
The leading topic of discussion is the coming of the Hardings or rather a fruitless inquiry as to what gowns and how many Miss Grace Harding will wear. They are due to-morrow. I wonder if old Harding knows anything about N.O. & G. stock? He probably does and will keep it to himself. There being nothing else to write about I shall write of myself.
