Having delivered this address to his followers, who by their "Ho's" and grins indicated their perfect readiness to do as they were bid, Ole Thorwald left them in ambush, and groped his way down to the beach, accompanied by Sambo. "Did you bring the chain and padlock. Sambo?" "Yis, mass'r. But you no tink it am berer to take boat away pull him out ob sight?"
Ole Mass'r 'Sancon berry good to de coloured people teach many ob um read de books 'specially 'Rore. 'Rore he 'struckt read, write, many, many tings, and young Missa 'Genie she teach her de music. 'Rore she 'complish gal berry 'complish gal. Know many ting; jes like de white folks. Plays on de peany plays on de guitar guitar jes like banjo, an Ole Zip play on daat heamseff he do. Wugh!"
Where did you say they are to meet us?" "Close by de point, mass'r." A few minutes' walk brought them to the point where the men were awaiting them. As far as Ole could judge, by the dim light of a few stars that struggled through the cloudy sky, they were eleven as stout fellows as any warrior could desire to have at his back in a hand to hand conflict.
His information, however, comprised too many facts to be the product of mere instinct: it savoured of actual knowledge. He must have learnt these things from some quarter. Where could he have gathered them? "Who told you all this, Scipio?" "Aurore, mass'r." "Aurore!" I felt a sudden desire, amounting almost to anxiety, to learn who was "Aurore." Why?
A ray of intelligence lighted up the woman's sombre eyes, for she believed she understood Marian's interest, and at once determined that Lane's action should lose no embellishment which she could honestly give. "Well, missy, it was dis away," she said. "My mass'r and his sons was away in de wah. He own a big plantation an' a great many slabes. My son, Zeb dar, an' I was kep' in de house.
"Did Master John answer?" "He looked kind ob 'up-head, and says he, 'Dat all right. I'se nothin' 'gainst you sayin' dem. So Mass'r Richard he tell him dat he hear some talk down town, and dat he won't have you talked 'bout, and dat as thar was to be no marryin' 'tween you two, Mass'r John better go 'way." "Did Master Richard say 'go away, Harriet?"
Tell me, has he not come home?" "No, mass'r I'se afeerd he nebber, nebber will ebberybody 'feerd he be drownded folks a been to de village up an down de Lebee ebery wha. No Toney. Captain ob de boat blowed clar into de sky, an fifty passengers gone to de bottom. Oder boat save some; some, like young mass'r, swam 'shore: but no Toney no Mass'r Toney!" "Do you know if he could swim?" I asked.
"Laus, Mass'r, why, Cato he'll do jes' as I do, dere a'n't no kind o' need o' askin' him. 'Course he will." A smile passed round the circle, because between Candace and her husband there existed one of those whimsical contrasts which one sometimes sees in married life.
"Did you look at the outside of it, I mean Harriet?" "No, Miss Phill, I didn't look neider at de outside, nor de inside; I's not dat kind; I look at Mass'r Richard's face. Bless you, Miss Phill! Mass'r Richard kaint hide nothing. If he was in love Harriet would know it, quick as a flash " "I think not, Harriet." "Den I tell you something, Miss Phill.
He thought Mass'r Richard would gib him a quarter, mebbe a half-dollar." "Did you think so, also, Harriet?" "Dem's de house perquisites, Miss Phill. Moke has nothin' 't all to do wid de house perquisites." "Moke has been sick, has he not?" "Had de fever, he says." "Is he not one of your classmates? I think I have heard you say he was 'a powerful member' of Uncle Isaac's class."
