"You have not treated me well, but I am always your friend. What do you want me to do?" She trembled, glanced around her in the pleasant sunshine, and then up into my face. "I want you," she murmured, "to keep Orrin and Colonel Schuyler apart. You are Orrin's friend; stay with him, keep by him, do not let him run alone upon his enemy, for for there is danger in their meeting and and "
Dominick again, in New York. In the mean time he had been talking the thing over with various people and had become acquainted with a man who had once been a diver for the Interocean Marine Insurance Company Owen Kinsale. Anyhow, so the scheme grew. They incorporated a company, the Deep Sea Engineering Company, to search for the treasure. That is how Orrin started. They are using his yacht and Mr.
Thorn's, "they've got your uncle at home now and we've got you; and I mean to keep you till I'm satisfied. So you may bring home that eye that has been squinting at Queechy ever since you have been here and make up your mind to enjoy yourself; I sha'n't let you go till you do." "I ought to enjoy myself, uncle Orrin," said Fleda, squeezing his arm gratefully. "See you do," said he.
While this was going on, the father and mother stood weeping at the upper end of the grave, at the head of the little procession, the mother sobbing with stifled violence, and peeping forth to discover why the coffin was drawn up again. It being fitted in its place, Orrin S strewed some straw upon it, this being the custom here, because "the clods on the coffin-lid have an ugly sound."
Orrin was standing, pale and defiant, in the doorway, and as I met his eye, I noticed, with a sick feeling of contempt, that he swung the whip he was holding smartly against his leg in what looked like a very threatening manner. "Good-evening, Orrin," I cried. "You have a very pleasant site here preferable to the Colonel's, I should say."
"Thank you but there is my uncle Orrin, Mrs. Carleton Dr. Gregory." "Dr. Gregory? He is just on the eve of sailing for Europe; I thought you knew it." "On the eve? so soon?" "Very soon, he told me. Dear Fleda, shall I remind you of my commission, and who gave it to me?" Fleda hesitated still; at least, she stood looking into the fire, and did not answer.
We'll forgive him, Barby And here's a letter for me, from uncle Orrin, and yes the 'Excelsior. Hugh, uncle Orrin said he would send it. Now for those blessed pine knots! Aunt Lucy, you shall be honoured with the one whole candle the house contains."
I drove a gentleman to your club early in the evening, and he must have left it accidental in the cab. Maybe you know him." It was a plain white envelope bearing the typewritten address: Mr. Orrin Chivers, Nos. 13-15 Barowsky Chambers, Seward Square, New York. The envelope had been opened, but the enclosure still remained in it. "Thank you," said Indiman. "I'll take charge of it."
Another five dollars came from uncle Orrin, and the hope of more; but these were carefully laid by to pay Philetus; and for all other wants of the household excepting those the farm supplied the family were dependent on mere driblets of sums. None came from Mr. Rossitur. Hugh managed to collect a very little. That kept them from absolute distress; that, and Fleda's delicate instrumentality.
If I go to her house, there he is sitting like a black statue at the fireplace, and when I would protest, and lead her into another room or into the garden, he rises and overwhelms me with such courtesies and subtle disquisitions that I am tripped up in my endeavors, and do not know how to leave or how to stay. I wish he would fall sick, or his house tumble about his head!" "Orrin, Orrin!"
