Leah laid her arms around Lizzie's neck at these words, and bending her head kissed her again and again. "Now I am done, let's sit here by the window that looks out toward the sea, and have our chat." "TO-DAY you leave me, Lizzie," Leah began; "leave poor Leah with no one " then she stopped. "Why do you hesitate? Is there something that troubles you?" Lizzie asked, observing Leah's hesitation.
"Oh, why are such things allowed? What a mystery life is! Mrs. Godfrey was with us at first, and then the Colonel carried her off; but I heard the clock strike three before I left Leah's room, and then I could not sleep a wink for thinking over some of the horrible scenes she had described." "I wish she had not told you," murmured Malcolm. Elizabeth smiled a little sadly.
I looked at Miss Darrell, and wondered if I could defy her to her face, or whether I had better wait until I could speak to Mr. Hamilton. If Gladys were really taking her sleeping-draught, my presence in her room might excite her. If I could only know if she were telling me the truth! My doubts were answered by Leah's entrance.
He was an advanced Radical in politics, and had a high opinion of the intelligence of his party. He paid Leah lip-fealty on his entry. "What a pity it's Sunday!" was Leah's first remark when the kissing was done. "No going to the play," said Sam ruefully, catching her meaning. They always celebrated his return from a commercial round by going to the theatre the-etter they pronounced it.
"Is the little creetur sick?" "No; but she is not very strong, Uncle Jack," was Leah's reply. "Teethin', maybe? Teethin' ginerally goes hard with the little ones." "Yes," Leah answered, "teething has made her delicate." "La, chile, the cap'n tells me you are bound for the Queen City; ain't you afeerd to go thar now, sich a power of shellin' goin' on thar?"
But before this happy stage was reached the twins decided that they no longer required safe conduct to the fountain of knowledge, and that Leah's attendance covered them with ridicule in the eyes of more independent spirits. But she refused to relax her vigilance, nay, rather she increased it; for she began to force her mutinous brothers to the synagogue on Sabbath mornings.
These lines Lizzie Heartwell slipped into the leaves of a book that lay upon Leah's desk, while she was absent at a music recitation. By and by the bell sounded for the half hour's release from study. Then Leah stepped across the room, and gently taking Lizzie by the arm, said, "Come, let's walk."
There was rising temper in Leah's voice. "You must forgive me if I say that I differ from you there my friend's interests are my own. Miss Jacobi, how can you reconcile it to your conscience to injure that poor boy's prospects by entering into a clandestine engagement with him?" He could see her eyes flash with anger, but she made no reply. "You know his position.
Leah's heart throbbed wildly in her bosom, and every limb trembled like an aspen; but the old man did not detect her emotion, and continued: "He will soon be tried here. I hear the friends of the dead man and the Mordecais are pushing up the trial. When the trial comes off, I guess the banker's family will come back."
So he remained with him a whole month. Then Laban said to Jacob, "Should you serve me for nothing simply because you are related to me? Tell me what shall be your wages?" Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful.
