And Adeline crossed the room to a window where Elinor was sitting quietly as a looker-on, having just escaped from a long conversation with the talkative old friend. "Now, Miss Wyllys, I am sure you must wish to promenade!" "Would you like to walk?" quietly asked Hazlehurst, who had followed Miss Taylor. "No, indeed," said Elinor, smiling and shaking her head good-naturedly.
Since Hazlehurst's return, Elinor's manner towards him had been just what her aunt thought proper under the circumstances; it was quite unembarrassed and natural, though, of course, there was more reserve than during the years they had lived so much together, almost as brother and sister. We are obliged to leave the ladies for the present, and follow Hazlehurst to his tete-a-tete dinner with Mr.
We were going to Hazlehurst, to issue clothing and shoes to those ragged and barefoot fellows we had seen that afternoon, and the light of whose tentless camp was yonder in the sky, now, toward Brookhaven.
"Perhaps so," said Miss Agnes; although she did not seem wholly to be of Elinor's opinion. "Hazlehurst is no such tender chicken, Nelly; you must not spoil him, child do you hear?" said her grandfather, smiling in a way that made Elinor colour.
"Thank you, ma'am; I am engaged to dine with Mr. Henley, who is only here for the day, and wishes to have a little business-talk with me. We are to eat a bachelor's dinner together, in his room." Elinor returned with the book, and Harry made his bow. As he left the room, Mary Van Alstyne observed that Mr. Hazlehurst seemed quite attentive to his friend's sister.
"He must have been very confident that it was a good imitation," said Hazlehurst; "for, of course, he knew you must possess letters of William Stanley's. I don't remember to have seen anything but his signature, myself." "Yes; it is a good imitation very good; of course Clapp was aware of it, or the letter would never have been sent."
"What was the fault?" said Elinor; "what was wanting?" "A few houses and a steamboat, to make it lively." "You are making up a good story, Mr. Hazlehurst," said Mrs. Creighton, laughing. "I give you the critic's words verbatim. I really looked at the young lady in astonishment, that she should see nothing but a want of liveliness in a picture, which most of us feel to be sublime.
The discord between its members and the Colonial Government continues with unabated bitterness. Mr. Hazlehurst regrets that the missionaries were identified with the colonists, in our great palaver with the four-and-twenty kings and headmen, at Cape Palmas. He believes, that, in case of any outbreak of the natives, the missionaries on the out stations would fall the first victims.
But I can tell you, that after we had been there a week, two of the Chime were in great danger, and one of them no less a person than your humble servant; the other was Anne Hunter Jane, you remember Anne Hunter, who was at Mrs. G -'s with us? Well, Anne and I were in great trouble, one day. Now, Mr. Hazlehurst, I hope you can keep a secret." "A lady's secret? Can you doubt me, Miss Taylor?"
Creighton blushed; and Harry coloured, too. "The very idea of such an ally would frighten Mr. Henley out of his wits," said the lady, recovering herself; "he is an incorrigible old bachelor; that, you must allow, is a great fault of his, Mr. Hazlehurst." "If he be incorrigible," said Harry. "But that is not clear," said Mr. Stryker to the lady; "he is a great admirer of yours."
