Nattée was very kind to her, and the child did not seem to be more reserved towards her than to others; her mournful pensive look, was perhaps inherent to her nature. It was not until long after our first acquaintance that I ever saw a smile upon her features. Shortly after this little conversation Nattée returned, walking with all the grace and dignity of a queen.
Several of the men passed near us, and examined us with no very pleasant expression of countenance; and we were not sorry to see our conductor, who had gone into the hut, return, followed by a woman, to whom he was speaking in the language of the tribe. "Nattée bids you welcome," said he, as she approached.
Or there were spells so Nattee said hidden about the ground by the wizards, which changed that person's nature who found them; so that, gentle and loving as they might have been before, thereafter they took no pleasure but in the cruel torments of others, and had a strange power given to them of causing such torments at their will.
"To do what you wish is the greatest pleasure that I have, Japhet so I may safely promise that. What has happened?" "That I do not know more than yourself: but Melchior tells me that he and Nattee quit the gipsy tents for ever."
I read Kathleen's, and then hastily opened the other. It was from Nattee, or Lady H. de Clare, and ran as follows "Japhet Newland, Fleta is the daughter of Sir William de Clare. Dearly has my husband paid for his act of folly and wickedness, and to which you must know I never was a party. "Yours, "Nattee." The letter from Kathleen added more strange information.
In ten minutes it was over: the gipsy went to the running brook, washed his face, took a large draught of water, and then hastened away and was soon out of sight. Melchior, who had watched the departure of the gipsy, slowly approached us. I observed him and Nattée, as they met, as I was certain that something important had taken place.
Faith and Nattee seemed more bound together by love and common interest, than any other two among the self-contained individuals comprising this household. Lois sometimes felt as if her presence as a third interrupted some confidential talk between her cousin and the old servant.
"And who are they?" "Nattee, and Melchior, her husband." "But you are not their daughter?" "No, I am not that is, I believe not." The little girl stopped short, as if assured that she had said too much, cast her eyes down on the ground, and folded her arms, so that her hands rested on each opposite shoulder. Timothy whispered to me, "She must have been stolen, depend upon it." "Silence," said I.
"My object is to find out where he puts up, and to take the same quarters make his acquaintance, and find out who Melchior is, and where he lives. My knowledge of him and Nattee may perhaps assist me." "You must be careful, then, Timothy; for he may know sufficient of our history to suspect you." "Let me alone, sir. Do you like my proposal?"
Lois redoubled her efforts to calm and encourage Nattee, apparently unconscious that any of the opprobrium, the hootings, the stones, the mud, was directed towards her herself. But when they took Nattee from her arms, and led her out to suffer first, Lois seemed all at once to recover her sense of the present terror.
