Minny and I went flying home as light as air; and I dreamt of Wuthering Heights and my sweet, darling cousin, till morning. 'On the morrow I was sad; partly because you were poorly, and partly that I wished my father knew, and approved of my excursions: but it was beautiful moonlight after tea; and, as I rode on, the gloom cleared.
But report said that when once within the domestic circle and before his squaw, the diplomatist and warrior was exceedingly meek. He bore his wife's death with resignation, but he had never married again. He loved Minny Adams better than anything on earth, and the girl had great influence over him. She, in her turn, was very fond of him.
"Bless you, Minny; and now 'tis time your anxious heart found rest. I will see you safe to your own gate, and then good-night." Minny suffered Wilkins to draw her hand within his arm, and lead her forth once more beneath the starry skies.
With the deep sobs still bursting from her lips, the girl rose, and sat, with bowed head and falling tears, at her young mistress's feet. "Minny, you understand me now, don't you? Think of it, Minny: you are my sister!" "Oh! none the less your slave, Miss." "My father's child must never be a slave to me." "Miss Della!
There was a look in his daughter's eye which he had never seen there before, an imperative manner which enforced command, and he allowed the man to pass him, bearing the bleeding and exhausted Minny in his arms. "Now, Della," said he, turning to his child, "follow her. Until I can get this vile piece of romance out of your head, you shall remain a prisoner in your own room.
"Shame! oh, for shame!" were the first exclamations that escaped her, and her sweet voice trembled with anger. "Bedad, it's purty Minny herself, sure enough!" muttered one urchin to another, as they hesitated what to do, each evidently unwilling to encounter the reproaches they were sure of receiving; and one or two scampered off the instant she spoke.
Try, dear Miss, to forget all that's passed to-day, and let us stand together in the old light." "No, Minny, I can never forget it. The old light can never shine on me again; but I will try always to remember it as I should; and now, Minn, finish, undressing me; or rather, teach me to undress myself." "I claim this as my privilege, Miss, and never want you to learn how."
Minny, there is a first love, a wavering, flickering, effervescing sentiment of youthful hearts, faithful and enduring in some instances, but not in mine, and this, God forgive me, I gave to you. True, I believed then I could never change; but the change came, with the exhalation of my heart's first passion, and though I never hated, I found I could no longer love you.
Some one, Minny, to love you with all his heart, and swear he'd die for you and to write you such tender letters and to and to " Della Delancey slept with the love-letter of Bernard Wilkins beneath her pillow. Minny had stood with every vestige of color faded from her cheek as her young mistress spoke, and her whole frame quivering with emotion, which she tried in vain to conceal.
Bernard," she replied, addressing him by his first name, and speaking earnestly, "I think of that myself sometimes, and tremble." "And tremble! What do you mean?" "Nothing, nothing; no matter now. Give me a pass, and let me be gone! The great gun has fired two hours ago!" "You are too white to need a pass, Minny." "Ay! but I am a slave."
