For days Sammy had been in a very ill-promising mood; but he brightened as the foster-parents drove away in the bleak, gray, hostile forenoon, Huldy helping Aunt Cornelia to dress and make ready, tucking her lovingly into the wagon and beneath the thick old quilt. The elder woman yearned over the girl with a mother's compassionate tenderness.
She thinks so much of pretty things." Tabitha invariably made the cake and iced it, and as she dropped the bits of colored sugar into place, she would explain to Huldy, who occasionally "helped" in the kitchen: "I wouldn't miss the candy for the world my sister thinks so much of it!" So each deceived herself with this pleasant bit of fiction, and yet had what she herself most wanted.
You and 'Livia you mustn't mind my callin' her that 'cause she's goin' to be one of the family so soon you'll want to be fussin' with science and such, and you won't have no time to attend to the finances. You'll need a good, safe person to be your financial manager. Well, you know me and you know your Aunt Huldy Ann. WE know all about financin'; WE'VE had experience.
The night-birds were crying "Mercy! mercy!" the lizards and tree-frogs seemed to cross each other's voices, piping "Time! time! time!" "Huldy!" Levin whispered, and let the reins fall loose, and his animal darted through Camden town to the north.
No; I'll recruit from young material. Ruin 'em when they's boys, and, while you kin pet 'em, they'll do your work! I have one nigger in the garret Joe wants to burn: he's my nigger, and I'll let him loose to bring me more niggers. Money is what I need to put on a bold front: Huldy must fetch it!"
Huldy planted marigolds and larkspurs, pinks and carnations, all up and down the path to the front door, and trained up mornin' glories and scarlet-runners round the windows.
I was readin' out loud to him the poem my cousin Huldy B. her that married Hannibal Ellis over to Denboro made up when my second husband was lost to sea, and I'd just got to the p'int in the ninth verse where it says: 'The cruel billows crash and roar, And the frail craft is tempest-tossed, But the bold mariner thinks not of life, but says, "It is the fust schooner ever I lost."
"Do you hate me, Cy Jeems? I ain't done nothin' to you. I'm a prisoner here till I kin git my boat back from Joe an' go to Prencess Anne." "I won't hate you if you kin make Huldy love me," Cy James replied. "Tell her I ain't no coward; that I'm goin' to be free, an' rich too." He dropped his palms to his knees again, and whispered, "fur I know whar ole Patty buries her gole an' silver!"
"Wal, Huldy never told me jist what she said to the minister, gals never does give you the particulars of them 'are things jist as you'd like 'em, only I know the upshot and the hull on't was, that Huldy she did a consid'able lot o' clear starchin' and ironin' the next two days; and the Friday o' next week the minister and she rode over together to Dr.
"Yes, I can read and write as well as if I had been to school. Some one taught me the letters around the tavern some of the negro-dealers: I think it was Colonel McLane; and I had a gift for it, I think, because I began to read very soon, and then Aunt Patty made me read books to her oh, such dreadful books!" "What wair they, Huldy?"
