He does not bark for white people, and you were not under a roof at the time, so it cannot apply to you." "Don't know!" said the Panther, shaking his head. "Never know that sign fail. Then here this little woman and this baby all the same as Ingin now." Minny looked a little troubled.
The dogs, who were in the daily habit of killing kangaroos, never attempted to bite Minny, who sometimes teased them so heartily, that they would put their tails between their legs and fairly run away. The great enemies of the sheep in the Australian colonies are the wild-dogs.
Minny obeyed; and Della, with trembling fingers, tore open the letter, and perused it. "Is it good, Miss?" "Sweet Minny, read it yourself." The quadroon took it, and, as she stood behind her mistress, the tremor which seized her frame, when she looked upon that handwriting, was unseen and unthought of by any but herself. "Delightful, Miss Della." "Yes; now, Minny, put it with the rest."
The tender flesh could almost be seen to quiver through the thin, light dress; but Minny moved not, uttered no moan, nor raised her head. "How now, girl, does your spirit hold out? Will you give up the letters?" "Never!"
Disappointed, with lingering steps he turned toward the store, but, as he stepped upon the sill, a slender figure darted from the alley-way, and laid a chill and trembling hand upon his arm. "Bernard!" "Heavens, Minny! what brings you here?" "Hopes and fears, and memories, and sorrows, which will not die." "Pshaw, girl! harping on the old string yet! What of your mistress?"
"Bless your dear heart!" "Thank you, Minn; nobody ever blessed me save you and General Delville; he blessed me to-day in such a beautiful way, it went straight to my heart. Oh, if it is so sweet to be blessed by the rich, what must it be, Minny, to be blessed by the poor?" Minny was silent. "If ever I get out of fashionable society, Minn, I shall never court it again. It is a heartless sphere!
"Who says 'taters don't catch anything?" asked the man of that bait proudly. "Twenty pounds or I'll eat my shirt." Cautiously, very cautiously, lest the fish make a sudden frightened dash for liberty, John drew in line to raise the captive from the water. "Y'all wait a minute," said the southerner. "Land him in my minny net. That's safer."
Minny made flannel shirts for him, and he wore them: she trimmed his moccasins, and the dainty cambric ruffles which he wore when in grand costume were got up by her hands. The Panther, however, did not often appear in full dress.
"By Jove, girl, you are saucy; come here, and sit upon my knee. You're a little wrathful just now, but all the prettier for that. Come." Minny rose up, with her face ashy pale, and stood in her calm womanly dignity before him. "Are you not ashamed to show a defenceless woman such an outrage, in your own house?
Minny tied on her hat, threw a light shawl about her shoulders, and started away with Wilkins and Guly at a rapid pace. The moon was shining brightly, and as they walked briskly on, their shadows fell long and slender, marching on before them.
