The angels, only, heard the conclusion of the sentence; for the speaker, Walter Kinloch, was dead, summoned to the invisible world without a warning and with hardly a struggle. But Mildred thought he had fainted, and, raising the window, called loudly for Lucy Ransom, the only female domestic then in the house.
In a moment, however, the sight of the ghastly face transfixed the thoughtless youth, as it had done his mother; and, dropping his whip, he stood silent, awe-struck, in the presence of the dead. "Hugh," said Mrs. Kinloch, speaking in a very quiet tone, "go and tell Squire Clamp to come over here."
"Certainly, if you wish it; but that course will necessarily be attended with some expense." "I choose to have it done," said Mrs. Kinloch, decisively. "Mildred, who has always been foolishly partial to the young upstart, insists that her father intended to give up the notes to Mark, and she thinks that was what he wanted to send for Uncle Ralph about, just before he died.
"The young folks have gone out to ride, I suppose." "Yes, Sir." A pause, in which Mrs. Kinloch covered her face with her handkerchief. "You don't seem well, Ma'am. Shall I call Lucy?" "Lucy is gone," she answered, quickly adding, "gone to her grandmother's." "Well, that is singular.
