'There, Radie, there, said Lake, disengaging her fingers. 'You're a little hysterical, that's all. It will be over in a minute; but don't make a row. You're a good girl, Radie. For Heaven's sake, don't spoil all by folly now. He was overawed and deprecatory. 'A slave! only think a slave! Oh frightful, frightful! Is it a dream? Oh frightful, frightful!
'You are very oddly housed, Radie. 'I like it, she said quietly, also with a glance round her homely drawing-room. 'What do you call this, your boudoir or parlour? 'I call it my drawing-room, but it's anything you please. 'What very odd people our ancestors were, he mused on.
Poor Miss Radie, she never heard anything but what was good from old Tamar, whatever I might ha' bin myself, miserable sinners are we all; and I'll do as you bid me, and I have done, Master Stanley, howsoever it troubles my mind; and now old Tamar's words spoke that's all. 'Old Tamar is a sensible creature, as she always was. I hope I did not vex you, Tamar.
I wonder, Radie, you're not afraid of her at night in this cheerful habitation. I should, I know. 'A ghost indeed, the ghost of old times, an ugly ghost enough for many of us. Poor Tamar! she was always very kind to you, Stanley. And just then old Tamar opened the door.
'So you shall, Radie; only have patience just a minute and give me a little wine or water anything. 'There is the key. There's some wine in the press, I think. He tried to open it, but his hand shook. He saw his sister look at him, and he flung the keys on the table rather savagely, with, I dare say, a curse between his teeth.
Altogether, curiosity, if no deeper sentiment, was highly piqued; and I was glad I happened to drop in at the moment of action, and wished to see the play out. At the door of her boudoir, Rachel Lake met Dorcas. 'I am so glad, Radie, dear, you are come. You must take off your things, and stay. You must not leave me to-night.
You know how it all came about, and you must see I'm not really to blame, at least in intention, for all this miserable trouble; and even if I were, where's the good in angry feeling or reproaches now, don't you see, when I can't mend it? Come, Radie, let by-gones be by-gones. There's a good girl; won't you?
You have brought it to that you must come. 'I'm not fit for it, I tell you I'm not. You were right, Radie I think I'm not equal to a business of this sort, and I won't expose you to such a scene. You're not equal to it either, I think, and Lake leaned on the paling. 'Don't mind me you haven't much hitherto.
'On a very little more, at all events; and I think they are about the happiest, and I'm sure they are the best people in this part of the world. 'Well, Radie, I'll see you to-morrow again. You preserve your good looks wonderfully. I wonder you haven't become an old woman here.
He was a very honest fellow, and attached, and a clever fellow, too, my father thought; and he was a good judge. Hadn't you a letter from his mother lately? You told me so, I think; and if it is not too much trouble, dear Radie, would you allow me to see it?
