"How does Syb Is that what you call her? how does she know? Oh, I remember now. It is the girl who served at Miss Mellen's home," Weldon said, as light began to dawn. "Ya, Boss; dat Syb." "And she is here with Miss Mellen?" Kruger Bobs nodded. "What are they doing?" "Dey is nurses sick mens." "How long have they been here?" "One, tree, five day." "Five days," Weldon translated to himself.
"Now, jis be as quick as you kin," she said; "I'se got to go back to see to tings can't trust dat Vic, no how! Wal, I guess Mr. Dolf'll see de difference 'tween folks and folks." Benson knew that Dolf, Mr. Mellen's own man, was a special weakness of Clorinda's, though it was only her reputation for accumulated wages which induced that dashing yellow individual to treat her with any attention.
I have no right." "Look here, old fellow," said Tom, wringing Mellen's slender hand in his; "if this is a lover's quarrel between you and Elizabeth, don't say another word. Lord bless you! I can persuade her into anything, she knows me of old.
Now Mellen's eyes kindled, and all the reserved force of his character came out. He knew every inch of the coast for miles each way.
Here, Mister O'Khayam, here's a good place to stand. Gee, what luck! Coon in sight first thing, and Mellen's food coon at that! Shoot, Mister O'Khayam, shoot!" The Thread Man lifted the wavering gun, but it was no use. "Tell you what, Ruben," said Jimmy. "You are too tired to shoot straight. Let's take a rist, and ate our lunch. Then we'll cut down the tree and let the dogs get cooney.
It was now late autumn; the gorgeous leaves lay strewn along the ground, and the wind sighed up from the ocean chill and bleak, scattering thoughts of decay with each gust. With that gathering desolation, the coldness and the shadows had crept deeper and deeper into Grantley Mellen's life.
The question of the picnic came up again, but Elizabeth settled that matter by refusing to have any share in it. She was in no spirits for such amusement, and had decided to refuse all invitations during Mr. Mellen's absence. From that day Miss Jemima always felt a liking for Mrs.
"Give it to me," said North, cutting the servant short, and snatching at the letter, which was in Mr. Mellen's handwriting and bore the California postmark. He was too eager for caution, and broke the seal recklessly. "He, too he coming, too! By Jove, this is glorious sport! Made his will before sailing, ha! provident man! one half to his dear wife, the other to his darling sister, Elsie Mellen.
She was holding her hands behind her, and ran towards them in her childish way, exclaiming: "I have found something! Who'll give a reward? Won't you both be glad guess what it is!" Mellen's face had brightened a little at her entrance, but as she spoke a sudden thought shook his soul like a tempest. "What is it?" Elizabeth asked. "Oh, guess, guess!"
Before Mellen's return it had seemed possible to carry them out, to bury the past utterly, and build a new palace of hope on its grave, but they had all failed.
