Nothing could have indicated this more clearly than the emphasis he put on his fear of scandal, the smug way he spoke of his word of honor, and the self-conscious blush that came into his handsome face when he mentioned the name of Estabrook. Why, even the menace to his beautiful Julianna was not quite sufficient to cause this egotist to forget his duties toward himself!
I went into the kitchen where the cook was busy with her pastry, and up to my own room. It was there I began to think sensibly. I believed that whoever might want to come now and say, "I know. That is a murderer's child," no longer would have the proof. I believed that Julianna was safe again.
"But, my boy," he went on, "what these pages contain is now for you, if you so decide." "Decide?" I managed to say. "What must I decide?" "I will tell you if God gives me the strength to do it," he said. "It is about Julianna. It is written here. I have sealed it as you see." "Something about her?" I cried. He bent his head as if I had struck him from above. "You may break the seal if you must.
Nothing could, I think, better illustrate the nonsense of attaching importance to these fore-warnings than to tell you that the woman who waited for me was Julianna herself!
My name is Tabitha Catt and not Theodora Marcella Gabrielle Julianna Victoria Emeline; and my brother's name is Thomas Catt and not Dionysius Ulysses Humphrey Llewelyn. Now go, and don't you miss a single store."
It was mine, and yet all my love for the Judge and Julianna, for whom I would have given my life, made me look upon it as if it were a snake. My first thought was its destruction. I wanted to throw it in the furnace. I longed to have an anvil and hammer, so that I could beat it into a pulp of gold. I wished a crack in the earth might open miles deep so I could drop it in.
The wild weather of this night, with the howl of the wind and the rattle of dead leaves driven against the blinds, is in extraordinary contrast to the day of beautiful spring sunlight when I first set eyes upon her who was Julianna Colfax. It is not necessary to tell you who her father was, because you have probably many times toasted your feet before the grate in the club with him.
"Well, it's rather hard to choose, for I have heard so many names, though never any as grand as these in the Bible. Even 'Rosalie' isn't so grand; do you think so? I believe I'd like to be called" Tom waited expectantly as she shifted from foot to foot and tried to make the important decision. "Theodora Marcella Gabrielle Julianna Victoria Emeline. Say, Tom, will you call me that?
She won't get rich on this." Then he applied himself to his "No. 1" sandwich, and his determined expression gave way to one of pleasure. "Why that's bread real bread! I believe she made it herself!" She did in truth, she and Julianna with Hector as general assistant.
