I have no friends here now. I have no friends anywhere except you. I know you both want to see your home again you must. And and your home will be mine now." So we decided to sail for America, and that without delay. And the next morning, before breakfast, Hephzy came to my room with another suggestion. "Hosy," she said, "I've been thinkin'. All our things, or most of 'em, are at Mayberry.
She said 'Forget! and the way she said it made me sure she never would forget. And then and then she asked me if I would please go away and leave her. Would I PLEASE not say any more now, but just leave her, only leave her alone. So I came away and and that's all." "That's all," I repeated. "It is enough, I should say. Oh, Hephzy, why did you do it?
Some, so the brokers were particular to inform us, were celebrated for their "shooting." The villas were not good enough; the estates were altogether too good. We inspected but one and then declined to see more. "Shootin'!" sniffed Hephzy. "I should feel like shootin' myself every time I paid the rent. I'd HAVE to do it the second time.
Some time later I don't know how much later it may have been I heard someone calling me again. "Hosy!" called Hephzy in a loud whisper; "Hosy, where are you?" "Here I am," I answered. She came to me across the lawn. I could not, of course, see her face, but her tone was very anxious. "Hosy," she whispered, putting her hand on my arm, "what are you doin' out here all alone?" I laughed.
"And there, among her relatives, she thought she would be free from our persecution." "There's some things worse than persecution," Hephzy declared; "and, so far as that goes, there are different kinds of persecution. But what makes those Crippses willin' to take her in and look after her is what I can't understand.
It was evident that he considered Hephzy and me disturbers of the peace; in fact he intimated as much when he joined us in the sitting-room in a few minutes. "I am afraid I made a mistake in permitting the conference," he said. "The young lady seems much agitated, Mr. Knowles. If she is, complete nervous prostration may follow. She may be an invalid for months or even years.
What do you mean?" "Why, I mean about Little Frank. It makes me feel surer than ever that we shall run across him." I suppressed a groan. "Hephzy," said I, "why on earth should the fact that Captain Stone knew my father encourage you to believe that we shall meet a person we never knew at all?" "Hosy, how you do talk!
After your treatment of my mother and my father, I I I... Oh!" She staggered, put her hands to her head, sank upon the bed, and then collapsed in a dead faint. Hephzy was at her side in a moment. She knew what to do if I did not. "Quick!" she cried, turning to me. "Send for the doctor; she has fainted. Hurry! And send that that Briggs woman to me. Don't stand there like that.
It doesn't trickle down one's neck now, does it, Hosy. A 'nahsty' cross-in' comin' and a smooth one comin' back. I wonder if that's a sign." "Oh, don't talk about signs, Hephzy," I pleaded, wearily. "You'll begin to dream again, I suppose, pretty soon." "No, I won't. I think you and I have stopped dreamin', Hosy. Maybe we're just wakin' up, same as I told you." "What do you mean by that?" "Mean?
"There are SOME pretty fair Yankees," she observed, drily. "ALL the good folks haven't moved back to England yet." The captain solemnly assured her that he was certain of it. "Though two of the best are on their way," I added, with a wink at Hephzy. This attempt at humor was entirely lost. Our companion said he presumed I referred to Mr. and Mrs. Van Hook, who sat next him at table.
