"And why not take the boy and Minny with you?" "Oh, that would never do. Must leave my cares behind, when I go for my health, you know." "Poor child! it seems strange to hear you talking of cares, you who were born to so much wealth and luxury." "Hush, hush! you musn't talk so. Happy cares mine are, and you know it, though not just the ones to take with me on a visit.
The chestnut did her work gallantly, though unhappily in vain, for the old man did not live to see his friends. "Don't you fret, you two," he said, softly, as Minny and I watched over him. "Great deal the best way for old Ingin. Die like a man now: not cough myself to death, like an old dog. Minny, little girl, you tell your husband be good to our people, well as he can.
"Who has dared to tell you such a tale as this! who has presumed to whisper such a falsehood in your ear?" "It is no falsehood, papa; it is truth, all truth would it were not! It requires no talking to see it. Has she not your look, your spirit, much of your pride? But none of your cruelty. No, no, poor Minny, you have indeed been a sister to me.
He had married Minny Adams with the full consent of her parents and the opposition of all her other friends. Contrary to all prophecies, and with that inartistic disregard of the probable which events often show, they had been very happy together. Mr. Moore otherwise Wyanota was a civil engineer, and stood high in his profession. "Look here, mamma," he said as he drove up.
"Anything for you, Miss Della, anything." Della's only answer was a closer pressure of that young form to her heart. "Now," said Mr. Delancey, approaching them, with Voltaire walking behind them: "now, Minny, up with you, and get yourself out of my sight; and, mark me! you may get your back ready for another scourging unless you give me those papers before to-morrow."
"My India mull, and the rose-colored ribbons." The dress was brought, and Della stood before the full-length mirror while Minny fastened it. "Tie my shoulder-knots in your prettiest manner, Minny." "Yes, Miss; and my reward shall be a rehearsal of the list of conquests?" "I suppose so," smiled Della; "Minn, I pet you a great deal too much."
With his curiosity awakened, he pointed it out to Wilkins, and bidding Minny seek the shelter of an adjacent doorway, they crossed the narrow street to discover if possible what it was. As they approached, the object moved more quickly, but they soon drew near enough to see it was a female form, borne in the arms of a stout negro, and Arthur.
I mounted Minny, and urged her to a trot; and so my brief guardianship ended.
Blanche stood on one side of the bed, with Minny by her side, and Guly and Wilkins directly opposite. Slowly the breath came through those aged lips, slow and faint. In his effort to get air, the dying man threw out his arms upon the coverlet. His hands met those of Blanche and Guly, as they rested on the bedside.
"Well, then, you shouldn't talk so in your sleep." "True enough." "Well, no matter, Minny; it wasn't my Bernard you mean't, I am quite sure. May be you were talking about those priests on that great snowy mountain, somewhere in the world, which you made me so sleepy reading about the other evening?" "The Monks of St. Bernard, Miss." "Yes; how droll!" "Will you get up, Miss Della?"
