Ludolph told the maid that she must find out what Christine was painting, and she tried to that degree that she wakened suspicion. On one occasion Christine turned suddenly on her, and said: "What do you mean? If I find you false if I have even good reason to suspect you I will turn you into the street, though it be at midnight!" And the maid learned, as did Mr.
Then for the first time he knew knew it as if written in letters of fire before him that he loved Christine Ludolph. At first the knowledge stunned and bewildered him, and his mind was a confused blur; then as she appeared again, smiling upon and in the embrace of another man, a sharp sword seemed to pierce his heart.
He was too weary to eat much, and there was a weight upon his spirits that he could not throw off the inevitable despondency that follows great fatigue when the mind is not at rest. Christine darted away and brought him a huge mug of hot coffee. "Really, Miss Ludolph," he remonstrated, "you should not wait on me in this style." "You may well feel honored, sir," said Mrs. Leonard.
"Something for Miss Ludolph," stammered the boy, looking very much embarrassed. Christine carefully opened the parcel and then exclaimed with delight: "Strawberries, as I live! the very ambrosia of the gods. Papa sent them, did he not?" "No," said the boy, hanging his head. "Who did, then?" said Christine, looking at him keenly. He shuffled uneasily, but made no answer.
Dr. Arten soon after came and said, cheerily, "All right! all right! will have you out in a day or two as good as new, and then, Miss Ludolph, you will see how much more grateful she is to the old doctor than you were." "You must present your bill," replied Christine, with a smile. "May I?" retorted the doctor, wiping his lips.
With an anxiety beyond expression, Dennis, flushed and trembling, ventured to approach. Merely glancing to see who it was, Mr. Ludolph, with his head bent over his writing, said, "Miss Ludolph is better no fear of smallpox, I think you need not write to your mother greatly obliged." It was well for Dennis that his employer did not look up. The open face of Mr.
"I am well satisfied," said Dennis, quietly, but with rising color. "I should have perished, had not Mr. Fleet come to my rescue," continued Christine, warmly, glad of an opportunity to express a little of her gratitude. The doctor turned his genial, humorous eye on her and said: "Don't be too grateful, Miss Ludolph; he is a young man, and only did his duty.
Mellen came in, exclaiming, "Miss Ludolph, they are all waiting for you to lead the dance, for to you is given this honor by acclamation, and I plead your promise to be my partner"; and he carried her off, she meaning to return as soon as possible, and supposing Dennis would remain.
I congratulate myself that I have you to assist me, instead of that awkward fraud, Mr. Berder." "And I assure you, Miss Ludolph, that I have longed intensely for this privilege ever since I knew your purpose." "You may have cause to repent, like many another whose wishes have been gratified; for your privilege will involve a great deal of hard work." "The more the better," said Dennis, warmly.
Ludolph looked inquiringly at the doctor, who said significantly, in a low tone, "I think it would be as well." "Certainly, Fleet," said his employer; "though I hope it is only a temporary indisposition, and that you will be back in a few days. You must try and get a good night's rest, and so be prepared for the journey in the morning." "With your permission I will go at once.
