But Miss Mildmay did not resent the little discourtesy her mind was pursuing its own train of thought. 'I don't know that it would follow that she could know anything of them, she said. 'Some of the last generation of Harpers were sadly unsatisfactory, and I believe the old man, Lady Myrtle's father, disinherited one or more of his sons.
A detailed and somewhat tedious account of these savage inroads, may be found in Warburton's Conquest of Canada, published by Harpers. New-York. 1850. This is the estimate of Bancroft and, I think, at least, thirty thousand too liberal. If the number were doubled, however, it would not weaken the position in the text.
The Miss Harpers, with his sisters, gathered round the piano, and Mrs. Edmonstone sat at Charles's feet, while Mary knitted and talked. 'So you get on well with him? 'He is one of those people who are never in the way, and yet you never can forgot their presence, said Mrs. Edmonstone. 'His manners are quite the pink of courtesy, said Mary. 'Like his grandfather's, said Mrs.
Dick, which the Harpers were republishing, in popular form, from the English edition, did much to increase and keep up this peculiar mania of the time, until the whole community at last were literally occupied with but little else than "star-gazing."
The recognition of another want of the public led, in 1857, to the establishment of an illustrated newspaper, "Harper's Weekly," which has at present a circulation of 100,000 copies. In 1869 they began the publication of a new weekly fashion paper, called "the Bazaar," which has reached a circulation of 75,000 copies. From the first, the Harpers made their house a popular establishment.
The gleemen rose and sang, the harpers harped, but something was wanting; they brought tears to the eyes of the fair queen by their plaintive songs of hapless lovers, which had superseded alike the war songs of Athelstane and the monkish odes of Edred. "Where is Elfric? He promised to be back by our wedding day; why does he delay, my Edwy?" asked Elgiva.
"Well, Squire, I'm from General Austin's headquarters, with orders to Captain Ferry." "Captain Ferry ain't stopping with us now, sir, he's 'way up at Hazlehurst." "Yes, sir. I didn't know but he might 'a' come down to spend to-morrow with you, it being the Sabbath. My name's Gholson, sir; I've got letters for the Miss Harpers; yes, sir; and one for Private Smith, from his mother, in New Orleans."
'I said it wasn't an uncommon name; that sounds quite different. 'Possibly the Harpers at Miss Scarlett's may be some connection distant, probably of the Elvedons, said Miss Mildmay, carelessly. 'But of course it is not, as Jacinth says, an uncommon name. But her remark set Frances's imagination to work. 'They are very, very nice girls the nicest at the school, she said.
Jacinth started, and the lines of her face hardened again. 'I thought it was that, she exclaimed. 'Those people they are at the bottom of it, then. 'Jacinth! said her mother. 'I beg your pardon, mamma, said the girl quickly. 'It must sound very strange for me to speak like that; but, you don't know how I have been teased about these Harpers.
And then she forgot about the Harpers again. But with her grateful feelings to Lady Myrtle, Miss Mildmay naturally felt that the least she could do was to clear a day for herself by working extra hard, so as to be able to spend part of it at Robin Redbreast, as the old lady much wished her to do.
