"I hope he has not told of me," cried they. "I'll answer for it he has told of all of us," said Tarlton. "And I'll answer for it he has told of none of us," answered Loveit, with a sigh. "You don't think he's such a fool, when he can get himself off," said Tarlton. At this instant the prisoner was led in, and as he passed through the circle, every eye was fixed upon him.
The room door was apt to creak, but it was opened with such precaution, that no noise could be heard, and Loveit found his friend as fast asleep as when he left him. "Ah," said he to himself, "how quietly he sleeps! I wish I had been sleeping too." The reproaches of Loveit's conscience, however, served no other purpose but to torment him; he had not sufficient strength of mind to be good.
It was a moonlight night, and after crossing the field, and climbing the gate, directed by Loveit, who now resolved to go through the affair with spirit, they proceeded down the lane with rash yet fearful steps. At a distance Loveit saw the white washed cottage, and the apple-tree beside it.
"Nay, but stay," said Tarlton, catching hold of his arm, "stay; I was only joking." "Let go my arm you were in earnest." "But then that was before I knew there was any harm. If you think there's any harm?" "IF," said Loveit. "Why, you know, I might not know; for Tom told me it's a thing that's often done. Ask Tom." "I'll ask nobody! Surely we know better what's right and wrong than Tom does."
After school in the evening, as he was standing silently beside Hardy, who was ruling a sheet of paper for him, Tarlton, in his brutal manner, came up, and seizing him by the arm, cried, "Come along with me, Loveit, I've something to say to you." "I can't come now," said Loveit, drawing away his arm. "Ah, do come now," said Tarlton, in a voice of persuasion. "Well, I'll come presently."
Is it poison?" exclaimed Loveit, starting back with horror. "Only poison for A DOG," said Tarlton, confused; "you could not look more shocking if it was poison for a Christian." Loveit stood for nearly a minute in profound silence. "Tarlton," said he at last, in a changed tone and altered manner, "I did not know you; I will have no more to do with you."
His friend Loveit, on the contrary, wished to be universally liked, and his highest ambition was to be thought the best natured boy in the school and so he was.
"And let him bawl," cried Tarlton; "he shan't bawl for nothing; I'm determined we'll have some of his fine large rosy apples before I sleep to-night." At this speech a general silence ensued; everybody kept their eyes fixed upon Tarlton, except Loveit, who looked down, apprehensive that he should be drawn on much farther than he intended.
Love is still the theme of most of the anecdotes, no longer the gross passion that proves every woman at heart a rake, but rather a romantic tenderness that inclines lovely woman to stoop to folly. From the world of Lady Mellasin, Harriot Loveit, Mr.
"I don't squint," said Loveit, looking up, "and nobody has me under his thumb! and what Hardy said was only for fear I should get in disgrace; he's the best friend I have." Loveit spoke this with more than usual spirit, for both his heart and his pride were touched.
