The foregoing flashed through my mind, the instant the clergyman announced himself; but the coincidence of our being on the way to the same part of the country, seemed to strike him as forcibly as it did myself. What Mary thought of the matter, I had no means of ascertaining. "This is singular enough," resumed Mr. Warren. "What has directed your steps towards Ravensnest?"
There is no use in mincing things, or in affecting to believe men more honest than they are AN INFERNAL FEELING OF SELFISHNESS IS SO MUCH TALKED OF, AND CITED, AND REFERRED TO, ON ALL OCCASIONS, IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT A MAN ALMOST RENDERS HIMSELF RIDICULOUS WHO APPEARS TO REST ON PRINCIPLE." "Have you heard what the tenants of Ravensnest aim at, in particular?"
"The question is, whether we ought to make a straight path to Ravensnest," observed Guert, "or proceed first to the surveyor's, and see how things are going on in that direction." "As there can be no great danger of a pursuit on the part of the French, since all their boats are in the other lake," I remarked, "the state of the country is very much what it was before the army moved."
"And can anything sooner or more effectually alter a people than longings for the property of others? Is not the 'love of money the root of all evil? and what right have we to suppose our Ravensnest population is better than another, when that sordid feeling is thoroughly aroused? You know you have written me yourself, that all the American can or does live for is money."
Both she and Olly went to bed after their first day at Ravensnest with their little hearts full of happiness, and their little heads full of plans. To-morrow they were to go to Aunt Emma's, and perhaps the day after that father would take them to bathe in the river, and nurse would let them go and help Becky and Tiza call the cows.
He would not listen to what Milly said about it, and he would scarcely listen to nurse now. "I can't do without my toys, Nana. I must do mischief if you won't let me take all my toys; I can't help it." "I haven't got room for half those, Master Olly, and you'll have ever so many new things to play with when we get to Ravensnest."
But Milly was quite sure she knew enough about it already to make up her mind, and all the way home she kept saying to herself, "If I could only turn into a little farmer's girl! Why don't people have fairy godmothers now like Cinderella?" Milly and Olly, and the four little Westmoreland children, had a very pleasant tea together in the afternoon of the Nortons's first day at Ravensnest.
"Of what canopied pew? I am sure I do not understand you." "Do you forget that the family-pew in St. Andrew's Church, at Ravensnest, has a wooden canopy over it a relic of our colonial opinions and usages?" "Now you mention it, I do remember a very clumsy, and, to own the truth, a very ugly thing, that I have always supposed was placed there, by those who built the church, by way of ornament."
Canoe ready gun loaded warrior counted chief woke up council fire gone out. Time, go." "Well then, Corny," said Guert, rising and stretching his fine frame like a lion roused from his lair, "here's off. We can go to Ravensnest to sleep, to-day; and, to-morrow we will work our way out into the highway, and fall into the line of march of the army.
While we were talking over these things, Herman Mordaunt re-entered the room, after a short absence, and he took me with him to examine his preparations for transporting the ladies to Ravensnest. As we went along, the discourse was maintained, and I learned many things from my older and intelligent companion, that were new to me.
