Now he was fated to have the whole budget of some vulgar quarrel forced on him by Galletly. "No? Everyone's talkin' of it. The long and short of it is that Min Palmer has had a regular up-and-down row with Rose Fuller and turned her and her little gal out of doors. I believe the two women had an awful time. Min's a Tartar when her temper's up and that's pretty often.
"In life the foremost friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his master's own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth!" Min's news did not come all at once.
Come up hyear now dis ebenin', an' let us all try ter hep yer git thu. Leave yer dancin' an' yer singin' an' yer playin', leave yer whiskey an' yer cussin' an' yer swearin', an' tu'n yer min's ter de s'ords an' de famines. "Wen de Lord fotches dem s'ords outn Eden, an' dem famines outn Egyp', an' tu'n 'em erloose on dis plantation, I tell yer, mun, dar's gwine be skyeared niggers hyear.
"Yas'm, yas'm, Miss Peggy, I spec's yo' sees it dat-a-way, honey, but but yo' sees de chillern dey are gwine car'y on scan'lus if I leaves 'em. My juty sho' do lie right hyer, yas'm it sho' do." "But Minervy, Joshua cannot live." "Yas'm, but he ain' in his min' an' wouldn't know me no how, but dese hyer chillerns is ALL got dey min's cl'ar, an' dey STUMMICKS empty.
He seemed to me to be guilty of unpardonable effrontery in holding Min's hand such an unconscionably long time in his, when presenting a miserable shop-bouquet; and, as for the lackadaisical airs of that insufferable donkey, Horner I can find no words adequate wherewith to express what I thought; he was positively sickening!
I had been so anxious to get there in good time and not miss a minute of Min's charming company, that, like our friend Paddy who ate his breakfast over night in order to save time in the morning, I overdid it, arriving there too early. I saw this at once from Mrs Clyde's face when I was announced, the unhappy premier of all the coming guests.
Telford moaned shudderingly. Once again Min opened her eyes and looked straight into his. "If I had met you long ago you would have loved me and I would have been a good woman. It is well for us for you that I am dying. Your path will be clear you will be good and successful but you will always remember me." Telford bent and pressed his lips to Min's pain-blanched mouth.
Then he stood up. "Come with me, dear," he said gently to the child. The day after the funeral, Allan Telford sat in the study of his little manse among the encircling wintry hills. Close to the window sat Min's child, his small, beautiful face pressed against the panes, and the bright-eyed dog beside him. Telford was writing in his journal. "I shall stay here close to her grave.
I never felt so completely "flabbergasted," as sailors say, in my life, as when Min's mother came into the room that afternoon, just at the moment when I was meditating a master-stroke against the fortress of my darling's heart. I trembled in my boots. I wished the earth to open and swallow me up! Mrs Clyde was a thorough woman of the world.
Keep them for somebody else who will appreciate them better;" and she laughed her cheery, merry laugh, wishing me good-night and sending me home much easier in my mind and happier than I had been for many days past. On the following afternoon I was introduced, as my old friend had promised; and you may be certain that I tried to make myself as agreeable as I could be to Min's mother.
