Though Minny had felt really unhappy at the idea of being left alone with Bernard, toward whom she stood in such a peculiar relation, she studiously concealed her feelings from Della, not wishing to mar the bright anticipations in which she was indulging; and, smothering her own forebodings, hoped for the best.
"Well, I think that now little Bernard is old enough to do a little while without me, and what I have to propose is, that you send me in the country, to visit our friends, and to regain my health, which you know is sadly impaired, while Minny stays home, and takes care of you, and plays mother to baby; what say you?" "And leave me a widower?" "Just a little while."
Catherine caught and perused it eagerly; then she put a few questions to me concerning the inmates, rational and irrational, of her former home; and gazing towards the hills, murmured in soliloquy: 'I should like to be riding Minny down there! I should like to be climbing up there! Oh!
Not remember them all now, Edmund? not remember? not remember Biddy and Minny, and Thedy and Widdy, and Mysie and Grizzy, and Polly and Dolly and the rest?" "D the Miss Hoggarties, ma'am," said the right honourable gent; and he said it with such energy, that his grey horse gave a sudden lash out that well nigh sent him over his head.
Before she could follow up her advantage, he had thrown himself wide open. "Wilfred is it Wilfred?" he asked. Laughing Eyes was far too clever a spirit to take immediately an opening so obvious. "You wait a minny!" she said. "Laughing Eyes don't see just right now. Will Will he come, he go.
"Oh, Bernard!" cried Della, laying her trembling hand upon his arm, as he sat beside her in the carriage, with Minny, and they were being whirled through the almost deserted streets, "no hand can ever come between us again. I am yours at last." "Nothing shall ever part us more," returned Bernard, drawing her fondly towards him.
It was late when Della awoke, and Minny lay with her cheek on her hand, just fallen into her first sleep. "Minny! Minny!" "Bernard!" murmured the girl, in her half-disturbed sleep. "Minny, I say!" "Yes, Miss." "Bring me my watch, Min, and show me the hour. Didn't I hear you say 'Bernard, just now, in your sleep? You haven't any Bernard; that's for me to say." "No, Miss, I haven't any Bernard."
"Yis, Whelan!" was the answer, "it is the man you name the man you caused to be thried an' banished, an' the man who came here to have revange!" "Oh. don't hurt him don't hurt him he is my father," cried the little Minny who now also seemed to recognize him.

Bernard, do you remember?" "Yes, Minny, I do remember."
"You are you are indeed his child; bud have naither his black look, nor his hard an' baneful heart so so I cannot hate you! For years I've never met with kindness, till you wor kind. Minny, heaven 'ill reward; you for id; an' may its blessin' be wid you, is the prayer ov your father's bittherest foe!"
