Banning had no match-making proclivities where Sue was concerned, as may be well understood, and had never been far off. Minturn, however, had appeared so single-minded in his work, so innocent of all designs upon his daughter, that the old man began to think that this day's performance was only a tentative and preliminary skirmish, and that if there were danger it lurked in the unknown future.
Her face was so radiant with hope, yet so softly tender and so beautiful, the physician was deeply moved. "I cannot say as to that," he replied. "But will you tell me, Miss Minturn, what, in your method, heals the sick?" "God the power that created the universe and holds it in His grasp, who 'spake and it was done."
"The chief officer said he would go below and see how the captain was getting on, and the crew huddled together in the bow, and began whispering among themselves, as if they were afraid the Water-devil would hear them. I turned to walk aft, feeling pretty queer, I can tell you, when I saw Miss Minturn just coming up from the cabin below.
Minturn; "I'm very fond of stories." "I was only telling, sir, how Joe Barnes talked to his father when I was down there this morning." "Yes, and, father, you'd be perfectly astonished to hear him," chimed in Howard. "I never heard a fellow go on so in my life; he makes fun of every single thing his father says." "Do you think there is anything very surprising in that?" asked Mr. Minturn coolly.
"Who was the lady? Wickersham tries to capture so many prizes, what you say gives us no light," said Mr. Minturn, one of the men. "Oh, no. I'll only tell you it's not the one you think," said the jolly bachelor. "But I am going to take lessons of that man Keith. These countrymen surprise me sometimes." "He was a d d stage-driver," said Wickersham.
"Coming, Dorrie!" he called out, as the girl made a movement to step over the low sill into the room; "no, there is nothing the matter I came to ask Miss Minturn for the Flower Carnival picture, to have it copied for you." "How nice of you, Uncle Phillip! You are always so thoughtful for me!" said unsuspicious Dorothy.
She does not like to let them go, neither does she feel quite like leaving them to run the house by themselves. Perhaps she would be glad to rent it," Mrs. Minturn returned. 'That would be delightful, for then we could have Mrs. Seabrook for a neighbor, and oh! mamma if we only could do something for that dear child," said Katherine, yearningly.
"But I hope we will have a nice home, for mother deserves it, besides I am just proud enough to want to entertain a few young ladies, among them Miss Nan Bobbsey and Miss Dorothy Minturn." "And we will be on hand, thank you," replied the joking Dorothy. "Be sure to have ice cream and chocolates I want some good fresh chocolates. Those we get down here always seem soft and salty, like the spray."
"Never mind anything so we have the lanterns. We must let our light shine, you know; and just look at that for muscle!" cheerily returned the girl, as she swept up her loose sleeve and revealed a truly sturdy arm. "I can catch the next train, if I step lively, and I'll be back on the one that leaves at five. Make out your order, Mr. Minturn, and I'll be ready before you can say 'Jack Robinson."
One evening Sadie was sitting by herself upon the veranda that overlooked the ocean, and where she was watching a glorious full moon which seemed to be rolling straight out of the glimmering sea into the cloudless vault above.
