I do most eagerly desire you, at this point in her story, to be just to Ruth Josselin. I wish you to remember what she had suffered, in the streets, at the hands of self-righteous folk; to understand that it had killed all religion in her, with all belief in its rites, but not the essential goodness of her soul. She at any rate, and according to the light given her, was incurably just.
The procession was terminated by hundreds of men and women from Josselin, Guegon, and Helleon, and by the entire garrison of the fortress, who came, as the English had done, without their arms.
Do you know, I was half hoping it would be a girl, just like my darling. Mrs. She won't be hoping for a girl. You don't understand these things, beggin' your pardon, ma'am. No. Mrs. Josselin. You don't neither of you understand. How should you? Mrs. I understand as well as a fool, I should hope!
"I take back my metaphors, Miss Josselin. I admit myself no buccaneer, but a simple ass who for once pricked ears on an honest impulse." "That is better. But hush! Mr. Manley, yonder, is preparing to sing." Mr. Manley, a young protege of the Collector's, had a streak of genius as an architect and several lesser gifts, among them a propensity for borrowing and a flexible tenor voice.
"Perhaps the time may come in another place when we may speak to each other in another fashion." "So I hope, Richard," said Beaumanoir; "but indeed we of Josselin bear you in high esteem and are much beholden to you and to your men for all that you have done for us. We could not wish better neighbors nor any from whom more honor is to be gained.
At the same time he felt curious to see her, curious to learn if these many months of seclusion had fulfilled the Collector's wager that Ruth Josselin would grow to be the loveliest woman in America. At Manasseh's announcement he faced about, and, with a gasp, clutched at the back of his chair. In the doorway stood little Miss Quiney.
"Ruth Josselin will attend, sir, with all despatch. The sedan is capable of accommodating but one at a time." There stood an empty chair on the Collector's right. To set it for her Mr. Langton had, as a preliminary, to stoop and drag aside the legs of a reveller procumbent on the floor.
So he took his leave, and Ruth abode with the Corderys and Miss Quiney. Disloyal though she felt it, she caught herself wishing, more than once, that her lord could have taken dear Tatty back with him to Boston. I desire to depict Ruth Josselin here as the woman she was, not as an angel.
"And the gentlemen, Manasseh they will have taken a great deal of wine by now?" Manasseh spread out his hands, and again his teeth gleamed. "To be sho', Mis' Josselin; it is not ebery day in the yeah dat Cap'n Vyell become Sir Olivah " "I did not ask you," interrupted Ruth coldly, "to excuse your errand. . . . And now, Tatty dear, do you still bid me to go?" "On the contrary, I forbid it."
He always used it on hearing good news, lest he should be mistaken for genial "I dunno why you couldn' ha' told us that straight off, without beatin' round the bush. It's important enough." "He has asked me to marry him, and I have said 'yes." "What else could ye say?" "Of course she said 'yes, the darling!" Mrs. Josselin clapped her hands together, without noise.
