There was little of the stately languor of the South in Miss Pinckney's speech. She was Northern on the mother's side. But in her prejudices she was purely Southern, or, at least, Charlestonian. Pinckney laughed. "I don't think Phyl's luggage will hurt much even if it falls," said he. "English luggage is generally soft." She talked on these expeditions.
She no longer thought of Silas. She had dismissed him from her mind, she no longer feared him as a possible source of danger to the man she loved.
