Ange, you'll like to assist. So Larcom withdrew ceremoniously, and Lord Chelford hastened his toilet, and was down stairs, and in the room assigned by the housekeeper to the ill-starred Captain Lake, before Doctor Buddle had arrived. It had already the dismal character of a sick chamber. Its light was darkened; its talk was in whispers; and its to-ings and fro-ings on tip-toe.
Captain Lake was not so low, and rather better than this morning, the doctor said; and Rachel raised her eyes, and whispered an agitated thanksgiving. 'Was Lord Chelford coming? 'His lordship had left the room when she returned, and Mr. Larcom said he was with Lawyer Larkin in the library. 'Mr. Larkin can wait. Tell Lord Chelford I wish very much to see him here. So away went the maid again.
John O'Donovan appointed his friend Larcom to be guardian of his children in case of his death. It was Larcom's duty, as an official of the Government, to hunt down the Fenians, both native and foreign, so that he had undertaken a serious and perplexing charge.
He had to look for a time at the distant prospect to allow his smile to subside, and to permit the conscious triumph which he knew beamed through his features to discharge itself and evaporate in the light and air before turning to Mr. Larcom, which he did with an air of sudden recollection. 'Ah all right, I was forgetting; I must give you a line.
Larcom prepared to be fast asleep in the chair, in the event of the captain's making a sudden advance, and entering his sanctum. But this movement was not executed. There was a small door at the foot of the stairs. It shut with a spring lock, of which Captain Lake had a latch-key. Mr. Larcom accidentally had another a cylindrical bit of steel, with a hinge in the end of it, and a few queer wards.
So he did, and hid away the note in his despatch-box, and said 'The family all quite well, I hope? whereat Larcom shook his head. 'My mistress' he always called her so, and Lake the capting 'has been takin' on hoffle, last night, whatever come betwixt 'em.
Her poem is very, very sad, as all who have read it will remember; but Miss Larcom herself was above everything cheerful, and she had a laugh of mellow richness which willingly made itself heard. She was not only of true New England stock, and a Boston author by right of race, but she came up to that city every winter from her native town.
She went there, as did hosts of New England girls, Lucy Larcom and Harriet Robinson among the number, to relieve the home, but especially to gain the means of education, for themselves and for their brothers and sisters. The towns afforded better libraries, and there were evening classes that they could attend, things not to be had in the farming districts.
Then they talked earnestly a little longer, standing together by the pond; and then, side-by-side, they paced down the broad walk by its edge. It was a long walk. Honest Larcom would have followed if there had been any sort of cover to hide his advance; but there being nothing of the kind he was fain to abide at his corner.
And and how are the family at Brandon all well, I trust? Mr. Larcom blew his nose. 'All, Sir, well. 'And and let me give you a glass of sherry, Mr. Larcom, after your walk. I can't compete with the Brandon sherry, Mr. Larcom. Wonderful fine wine that! but still I'm told this is not a bad wine notwithstanding. Larcom received it with grave gratitude, and sipped it, and spoke respectfully of it.
