His friends all congratulated him on his success, and Charlie was delighted. "This settles the question, I think, Miss Patsey," said Mr. Wyllys. "I suppose so," said Miss Patsey, with a shake of the head, and a smile. "I think I can see myself that this picture looks more natural than the first." "Quite a tasty painting," said Mr. Taylor, stepping up with a decided air towards the canvass.
Yesterday morning Patsey waylaid me, but I waved him off. At night he caught me going in at the back gate of The Chequers; his hand trembled as he clutched my arm, and he said with chattering teeth, "Give me a dollar, and I'll tell you somethin'." "Tell me the something first, and then we'll see about the dollar." "Don't you go near Blackey's place to-night. They're a goin' to ast you if they kin.
"They have been so fortunate, with the rest of the family, that, I hope, they will be able to keep Charlie straight. I see Miss Patsey is talking to Mrs. Taylor; they are old friends, perhaps. Do you know anything about these Taylors?" "Nothing but what my husband told me. He is a merchant in New York, and very rich; made his money quite lately; and the business-men think a good deal of him."
Wyllys was thinking when he spoke, of his daughter Agnes and Patsey Hubbard; and he might have thought of hundreds of others in the same circumstances, for happily such instances are very common. "I have never had either brother or sister, but I can well imagine it must be a strong tie," said Elinor. "I flattered myself I had been a sort of brother to you in old times," said Harry smiling.
Here Patsey came running up, yelling at the top of his voice, "The bear's goned! The bear's goned!" Hal and Ned jumped to their feet, exclaiming, "Which way did he go?" and, without waiting for a reply, darted off in search of him. "I hope they won't git the critter: he ain't nothin' but a cussid nuisance, no how," said Jerry, as Hal disappeared in the gloaming.
"Not with a fire and I may have a lamp, I suppose?" At his question Patsey appeared with an armful of resinous pine, and a few minutes later, a cheerful blaze was chasing the shadows up the great brick chimney. When Molly returned with the brandy, Gay was leaning against the mantelpiece idly burning a bunch of dried cat-tails he had taken from a blue-and-white china vase.
Miss Patsey, also, had her moments of wonder; but she wondered in silence; she did not appear to have any higher opinion of the son, than she had formerly entertained of the father.
The instant it was off, he flew at Hal, and would have soundly thrashed him, "for the thrick he had put upon him," had not Jerry interfered to prevent. This adventure, however, completely cured Patsey of boasting; for not once again during the entire trip did he indulge in what had heretofore been a favorite pastime. Nor was Patsey the only one who learned a lesson while at the Pimo villages.
At the second fence Patsey Crimmeen's black mare put her nose in the air and swung round; Patsey's hands seemed to be at their worst this morning, and what their worst felt like the black mare alone knew. Mr.
At the sound of the word "bear," all of Patsey's fears returned, with renewed power, and he again commenced calling for "protiction," in frantic tones. Going to the wagon under which Patsey had spread his blanket for the night, we found that Hal had tied the bear near it.
