"My clothes!" said Raby. "The girl wants to break my heart." "Eh, dear! and I've spoiled the beautiful carpet," said Jael, piteously. "D n the carpet!" said Raby, nearly blubbering. All this time Amboyne was putting himself in Jael's Dence's place. "Is there a good fire in her room?" asked he, with a significant look. Raby took the hint, and said he would go and see.
"Will you dismount and stay to supper, brother Joseph?" said Mistress Ann, in a soft purring tone. Master Joseph fairly started with his surprise, and looked steadily into her dark, inscrutable eyes eyes like Jael's as she gazed upon sleeping Sisera. "No, I thank you I expect a friend to supper. I hope brother Thomas heard some good news at Ipswich. Come and see us when you feel like it."
So I trusted to the blessed quiet of a sick-room often so healing to misery to Jael's nursing, and his brother's love. After a few days we called in a physician a stranger from Coltham who pronounced it to be this Norton Bury fever, caught through living, as he still persisted in doing, in his old attic, in that unhealthy alley where was Sally Watkins's house.
There, her color is coming back. Now put yourself in her place. You and I must call this an accident. Stick to that through thick and thin. Ah, she is coming round safe. She shall see you first. You take her right hand, and look at her with all the pity and kindness I am sure you feel." Mr. Raby took Jael's hand in both his, and fixed his eyes on her with pity and anxiety.
There was a pair of old-fashioned bellows by the side of the fire; Amboyne seized them, and opened Jael's mouth with more ease than he expected. "That is a good sign," said he. He inflated the bellows, and inserted the tube very carefully; then he discharged the air, then gently sucked it back again. When he had done this several times something like a sigh escaped from Jael's breast.
The woman went to the door. She listened a moment and as the wail of a child sounded over the court she said, "Aye, sore weeping. Why, Jesu?" "Jael's father went away yester morning and hath not come again. A man saw him with many others driven in chains like cattle. A stain of blood was on his face and he will not come again. Why did the soldiers take Jael's father?" "Hist, child.
The thought that another woman was nursing Henry Little all this time distracted her. It would have been such heaven to her to tend him, after those cruel men had hurt him so; but that pure joy was given to another, and that other loved him, and could now indulge and show her love. Show it? Why, she had herself opened his eyes to Jael's love, and advised him to reward it.
Doctor, who would live in a town after Cairnhope?" Jael's fingers trembled at her bonnet-strings, and, turning a look of piteous supplication on Grace, she faltered out, "If you please, miss, might I stay over to-day?" "Of course. And then he will tell you all about your people, and that will do just as well as you going to see them; and better." Off came Jael's bonnet with wonderful celerity.
"I give you the love and respect you deserve so well; and I thank God for creating such a character now and then to embellish this vile world." Then she flung herself upon Jael, with wonderful abandon and grace, and kissed her so eagerly that she made poor Jael's tears flow very fast indeed. She would not let her go back to Cairnhope.
My father winced even her master was sometimes rather afraid of Jael. But conscience or his will conquered. "Woman, do as I desired. Bring another plate, and another mug of ale." And so, to Jael's great wrath, and to my great joy, John Halifax was bidden, and sat down to the same board as his master. The fact made an ineffaceable impression on our household.
