Keane opened his studio by-and-by and looked out. "Well, Tom, news from Lucy at last, my boy?" he asked. "No, sir," said Tom soberly, yet with an odd twinkle in his eye; and then he held out the open letter, saying simply, "Read that, Mr. Keane." Mr. Keane smiled too as he read. "Lucy has conquered, as I thought she would," he said.
Keane," whispered Carrie as she bent a moment over the couch before they passed out; "you used to be the very sunshine of us all." "I think of you, dear, and am happy in my own way at home," she replied with her sweet smile; "take care of yourself and of this pale little maiden. Lucy dear, good-bye. Come and see me again."
Let us try a race back; you're a splendid skater." They turned, and sped along the ice at lightning speed, and Tom came in a dozen yards in front at the farther side. "Ahead of me," laughed Mr. Keane. "Is that an omen of the future, Tom?" Miss Goldthwaite noted the boy's flushed, happy face and bright eyes, and concluded Mr. Robert Keane must have wrought the change.
Susan always thought of second- floor alcoved bedrooms as filled with the pungent fumes of Miss Beattie's asthma powder, and of back rooms as redolent of hot kerosene and scorched woolen, from the pressing of old Mr. Keane's suits, by Mrs. Keane. She could have identified with her eyes shut any room in the house.
Keane derided the proposal, and Macnaghten reluctantly abandoned it, but he demanded of Lord Auckland with success, the retention in Afghanistan of the Bengal division of the army.
Pakenham, dashing forward to rally the column, was killed three hundred yards from the lines. Keane, on the British left, was wounded and carried from the field. Nowhere did the enemy pierce or break the line of defense.
Colonel Thornton was to cross the river, in the night, storm the battery, and advance up the right bank till he came abreast of New Orleans; while the main attack, on the intrenchments in front, was to be made in two columns the first under General Gibbs, the second led by General Keane.
What I mean is this: give him up to me; I will take him back to Philadelphia, and take entire care of his training. It will not cost you a farthing, Mr. Strong. Do you understand?" "We're poor folks, but we don't take charity even for Hetty's children," said Miss Hepsy pointedly. "We've never been offered it afore." Mr. Keane might have waxed angry at the impertinent remark.
A smile actually appeared on Miss Hepsy's face. "He's a real pleasant-spoken gentleman, Mr. Robert Keane," said Aunt Hepsy, as she shut the door. "Well, Tom, I hope ye'll get yer fill o' paintin' now." Tom's eyes beamed, but he made no verbal reply. Lucy followed him to the door as he passed out to the barn again.
Old Runjeet Singh, a faithful if not disinterested ally, had died on June 27th, 1839, the day on which Keane marched out from Candahar. The breath was scarcely out of the old reprobate when the Punjaub began to drift into anarchy. So far as the Sikh share in it was concerned, the tripartite treaty threatened to become a dead letter.
