In 1878 the Osbournes returned to America, travelling by way of Queenstown, where, for the sake of stepping on Irish soil, they went ashore for a few hours and took a ride in a real jaunting-car, with a driver who was as Irish as possible, with a thick brogue, a hole in his hat, and a smiling, good-humoured countenance.
When she left California for this journey it is no exaggeration to say that every bond of affection that held her to Samuel Osbourne had been broken. When they arrived on the other side, the Osbournes went directly to Antwerp, having decided to make a trial of that place first for their art studies.
But of all that went on at Grez the talks are remembered as the best, for, notwithstanding their merry fooling in their idle hours, there were brilliant minds among the company, and the conversation sparkled with rare conceits. Three summers the Osbournes returned to spend at Grez, lingering on the last time until the snow came.
The Osbournes, together with nearly all their friends and relatives, cast in their lot with the North, and young Osbourne left his family and went to the war as captain in the army. We must now return to the dark, handsome boy, George Marshall, once the favourite playmate and now the brother-in-law of Fanny Van de Grift.
She could have gone inside with the other women, of course, but it was like her to prefer the seat with the driver, with its risk and its adventure. Later the Osbournes moved to Virginia City, where the life, while not quite so primitive as at Austin, was still highly flavoured with all the spice of a wild mining town.
In this way she harrowed my feelings to such an extent that I went to Miss Miller of my own accord and begged her pardon, and the poor girl wept and loved me, and thenceforth made life miserable for me among my schoolmates by acts of 'favoritism." In the little rose-covered cottage in Oakland a second son, Hervey, was born to the Osbournes.
