"In that case," he said, "mebbe the reader would want to know what the heroine thought about it. Would she want to go back East to live takin' her cowpuncher with her to show off to her Eastern friends?" She laughed. "I thought you were not very good at pretending," she said, "and here you are trying to worm a declaration of my intentions out of me.
Then, after long lingering, draws on the horrible catastrophe: a catastrophe, alas! as far at least as regards the heroine, quite true.
"See, madam see, Julia there is our travelling equipage on board that sloop, going up to meet us in Albany." Our heroine looked as directed, and saw a vessel moving with tolerable rapidity up the river, within a short distance from them. On its deck were a travelling carriage and a pair of horses, and by the latter stood a man who, by the whip in his head, was evidently the driver.
There she revelled in all the boundless fancies and extravagant ambitions of a clever, half-poetic child. There she was in turn the heroine of every book that delighted her, and the heroine of stories which had never been put into print.
