'It was not always so foolish a suit, Radie, answered her brother, his eyes once more upon the carpet. 'Why should not he do as well as another? You liked him well enough once. The young lady coloured rather fiercely. 'I am not a girl of seventeen now, Stanley; and and, besides, I hate him. 'What d d nonsense! I really beg your pardon, Radie, but it is precious stuff.
She gives me the horrors, I assure you, whenever I look at her; you must not keep her, she's of no earthly use, poor old thing; and, you know, Radie, we're not rich enough you and I to support other people. You must really place yourself more cheerfully, and I'll speak to Chelford about Tamar. It is really not fair to expect you or me to keep people like that.
Why, ha, ha! dear Radie, every man who has ever been on terms of intimacy with another must know things to his disadvantage, but no one thinks of telling them. The world would not tolerate it. It would prejudice the betrayer at least as much as the betrayed.
Do you think I'll leave matters to take their course, and sit down here to be destroyed? I'm no such idiot. I tell you I'll leave no stone unturned to save myself; and, in some measure, you too, Radie. You don't seem to comprehend the tremendous misfortune that menaces me us you and me. And he cursed Mark Wylder with a gasp of hatred not easily expressed.
'But really, Radie, dear, you can't need any confirmation more than this evening affords. We both know Dorcas very well; she is not like other girls. She does not encourage fellows as they do; but if she did not like Bracton very well indeed, she would send him about his business.
This place is dreadful, and its darkness dreadful; but light is still more dreadful now, and I think I'll change; but, as you say, there is time enough to think of all that. 'Quite so time enough. By-the-bye, Radie, you mentioned our old servant, whom my father thought so highly of Jim Dutton the other evening. I've been thinking of him, do you know, and I should like to find him out.
'I don't dissemble; I don't care to speak; but if you will have me say so, I do suspect I think it must have originated in jealousy of you. 'You look, Radie, as if you thought I had managed it whereas I really did not care. 'I do not understand you, Dorcas; but you appear to me very cruel, and you smile, as I say so. 'I smile, because I sometimes think so myself.
So, without troubling her with questions, she made tea, and then some negus, with careful and trembling hands. 'No, said Rachel, a little pettishly, and put it aside. 'See now, Miss Radie, dear. You look awful sick and tired. You are tired to death and pale, and sorry, my dear child; and to please old Tamar, you'll just drink this. 'Thank you, Tamar, I believe you are right.
'Well, Radie, you are pleased to be whimsical; and, to say truth, I was thinking of saying a word or two, just about as idea that has been in my mind some time, and which you half divined you are so clever the first day I saw you at Redman's Farm. You know you fancied I was thinking of marrying. 'I don't remember that I said so, but I thought it.
'I was just thinking, dear Radie, he said in his sweet low tones, which to her ear always bore a suspicion of mockery in them, 'how pretty you contrive to make this bright little garden at all times of the year you have such lots of those evergreens, and ivy, and those odd flowers.
