"Not unless you like; I didn't know but you might take his place once in a while for a little, to give him a rest " "And suppose some of the people from Montepoole, that know me, should come by? What are you thinking of?" said he, in a tone that certainly justified Fleda's deprecation. "Well!" said Fleda, in a kind of choked voice "there is a strange rule of honour in vogue in the world."
Lucas won't be here and now the weather is so fine I want to make haste with the hay." "Well, will you have the samp for breakfast?" "No we'll keep that for dinner. I'll come in and poach some eggs, Barby, if you'll make me some thin pieces of toast and call me when it's time. Thin, Barby." The gentleman turned his horse and galloped back to Montepoole.
Sweet, the hotelman at the Pool, takes all we can give him." "How much does her 'taking care of the garden' amount to?" "It amounts to all the planting, and nearly all the other work, after the first digging by far the greater part of it." Charlton walked up and down a few turns in most unsatisfied silence. "How does she get the things to Montepoole?" "I take them." "You! When?"
The women were paid off and dismissed, and departed in the next day's coach from Montepoole. Fleda stood at the front door to see them go, with a curious sense that there was an empty house at her back, and indeed upon her back. And in spite of all the cheeriness of her tone to her aunt, she was not without some shadowy feeling that soberer times might be coming upon them.
Poor little creature that you were! and dear little creature, as I am sure you have been ever since. And how is your dear aunt Lucy?" Fleda answered that she was well. "I used to love her very much that was before I knew you before she went abroad. We have just got home this spring; and now we are staying at Montepoole for a few days.
Hum why it's up in Wyandot County some five or six miles from the Montepoole Spring what's this they call it? Queechy! By the way!" said he, reading Fleda's countenance, "it is the very place where your father was born! it is! I didn't think of that before." Fleda's hands were clasped. "Oh, I am very glad!" she said. "It's my old home.
Rossitur's young gentleman acknowledged his relationship, and begged the favour of being set in the right way home. "With much pleasure! You have been showing Miss Rossitur the picturesque country about Montepoole?" "My cousin and I have been there on business, and lost our way coming back." "Ah, I dare say! Very easy. First time you have been there?"
Carleton that took such care of you at Montepoole?" "Certainly I do! very well." "We saw them last winter; we were down at their country place in shire. They have a magnificent place there everything you can think of to make life pleasant. We spent a week with them. My dear Fleda, I wish I could show you that place! you never saw anything like it." Fleda ate her pie.
"I beg your pardon. Mrs. Evelyn and Judge Sensible were talking over that very question the other day at Montepoole; and he made it quite clear to my mind that we were the aggressors." "Judge Sensible is a fool!" said Mr. Rossitur. "Very well!" said Fleda, laughing; "but as I do not wish to be comprehended in the same class, will you show me how he was wrong, uncle?"
Push the table back, and let it take care of itself, come, gentlemen, sit down draw up your chairs round the fire, and a fig for ceremony! Comfort, sister Miriam, against politeness, any day in the year; don't you say so too, Fairy? Come here by me." "Miss Fleda," said Mr. Carleton, "will you take a ride with me to Montepoole to-morrow? I should like to make you acquainted with my mother."
