She then danced on the slack wire, at the same time performing several feats in balancing, throwing of oranges, etcetera. When Melchior was under other disguises, she remained in the camp with Nattee. Of Num, or Philotas, as Melchior thought proper to call him, I have already spoken.
Lois hastened on with Faith, for Manasseh was walking alongside of his mother, and she kept steady to her plan of avoiding him, even though she pressed her company upon Faith, who had seemed of late desirous of avoiding her. That evening the news spread through Salem, that Hota had confessed her sin had acknowledged that she was a witch. Nattee was the first to hear the intelligence.
Melchior fixed his eyes upon Nattee she looked at him mournfully folded her arms, and made a slight bow as if in submission, and in a low voice quoted from the Scriptures, "Whither thou goest, I will go thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." He then walked away with her: they sat down apart, and were in earnest conversation for more than an hour.
He was covered with dust, and the dew drops, hanging on his dark forehead, proved that he had travelled fast. He addressed Nattee, who was standing by, in their own language, which I did not understand; but I perceived that he asked for Melchior.
"Child," replied Nattee, who was prepared, "I have neither dropped a sixpence nor have you found one but never mind that, I know that which you wish, and I know who you are. Now what would you with me? Is it to inquire whether the landlord and landlady of the Golden Lion intend to keep you in their service?"
We soon arrived, and were joyfully received by Fleta and Nattee. As we walked across the common, I observed to Melchior, "I wonder if these stars have any influence upon mortals, as it was formerly supposed?" "Most assuredly they have," rejoined Melchior. "I cannot read them, but I firmly believe in them." I made the above remark, as I had often thought that such was Melchior's idea.
Timothy advised her to pretend to pick up a sixpence when near to Nattée, and ask her if it did not belong to her, and the barmaid acted upon his suggestions, having just before that quitted the arm of Timothy, who had conducted her. "Did you drop a sixpence? I have picked up one," said the girl, trembling with fear as she addressed Nattée.
But Faith, moving quicker than ordinary, said something about putting a stop to it, and so forestalled her mother's evident intention of going into the kitchen. Faith shut the door between the two rooms, and entered upon some remonstrance with Nattee; but no one could hear the words used.
When Melchior was under other disguises, she remained in the camp with Nattée. Of Num, or Philotas, as Melchior thought proper to call him, I have already spoken.
I ventured to question Melchior about the little Fleta; and he stated that she was the child of a soldier's wife, who had been brought to bed, and died a few hours afterwards; that, at the time, she was on her way to join her husband, and had been taken ill on the road had been assisted by Nattee and her companions, as far as they were able had been buried by them, and that the child had been reared in the camp.
