"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 Nattée quit the gipsy tents for ever."
She broke into the room where the girls were sitting with Grace Hickson, solemnly doing nothing, because of the great prayer-meeting in the morning, and cried out, 'Mercy, mercy, mistress, everybody! take care of poor Indian Nattee, who never do wrong, but for mistress and the family!
Nattée disappeared, the gipsie's tent was no longer on the common, and the grass, which had been beaten down into a road by the feet of the frequent applicants to her, was again permitted to spring up.
I took the piece of paper containing the present, and having promised all she required, "This is the last yes the very last time that I may behold this scene," continued Nattee, surveying the common, the tents, and the animals browsing. "Be it so; Japhet, good night, may you prosper!" She then turned away and entered her tent; and soon afterwards I followed her example.
Melchior and Nattee were supposed to be the most wealthy of all the gipsies, and, at the same time, they were the most liberal of their wealth. Melchior, it appeared, gained money in three different characters; as a quack doctor, the character in which we first saw him; secondly, as a juggler, in which art he was most expert; and, thirdly, as a fortune-teller, and wise man.
Has Timothy a good memory?" "I think he has." "That is well. I told you before that we are to try the 'Wise Man, but first we must have Nattée in play. To-morrow we will start for ," mentioning a small quiet town about four miles off.
Sit down here, while I bid Faith and Nattee get food ready; and meanwhile I will go tell my husband, that one who calls herself his sister's child is come over to pay him a visit. She went to the door leading into the kitchen, and gave some directions to the elder girl, whom Lois now knew to be the daughter of the house.
'Hush thee, hush thee, prairie bird! How can he build a nest, when the old bird has got all the moss and the feathers? Wait till the Indian has found means to send the old bird flying far away. This was the mysterious comfort Nattee gave. Grace Hickson took some kind of charge over Manasseh that relieved Lois of much of her distress at his strange behaviour.
That I cannot tell. Why did Nattee give me the necklace? I cannot tell; she would hardly betray her husband. At all events, there is a mystery, and it can only be unravelled by being pulled at; and I may learn something by meeting Melchior, whereas I shall learn nothing by remaining quiet."
Nattee looked very melancholy, but resigned; on the contrary, little Fleta was so overjoyed, that her face, generally so mournful, was illuminated with smiles whenever our eyes met. It was delightful to see her so happy. The whole of the people in the camp had retired, and Melchior was busy making his arrangements in the tent.
