"I shall go wherever you go." "Not at all; just listen to me, and I am sure that you will leave me in peace. In a few moments, when we get to the station, you will see the Princess de Raynes and Countess Hermit waiting for me with their husbands. I wished them to see us, and to know that we had spent the night together in the railway-carriage.
Carrie danced a pirouette there and then. "I have found the treasure," she gasped. "Now I must take it where it will be safe. I know what I'll do. I'll give it to Sam Raynes to keep for Elma. It will be a nice excuse for seeing him again, and I'll tell him it is money of my own, and ask him to bank it for me. He'll be ever so pleased; he will think all the more of me if he supposes I am wealthy.
But I must get it; I must see Sam Raynes at once." "Tell me why it is so bad," said Carrie. "You must confide the whole thing to me now. There's no use in keeping secrets from your sister." Thus adjured, and because she was almost distracted, poor Elma did tell. She described as well as she could the terrible position she would be in at Middleton School if the whole of this transaction were known.
Oh, of course I have seen her, and I know she's pretty, or some people would think her so; in my opinion she's vastly too stuck up; and so Sam Raynes says. Sam saw her last Sunday in church, and he said she wasn't a bit his style." "Oh, pray, don't quote Sam Raynes to me," said Elma.
"I wish you would not go out so late, Carrie; it really isn't " But Carrie had slammed the door without even waiting for her parent's last words. She soon reached the Terrace, which was within three minutes' walk of her own house. Florrie Raynes let her in. "My dear Carrie," she said, "what do you want? Oh, you naughty girl; you knew Sam would be in." "Well, I want to speak to him.
I read that letter which Kitty Malone wrote to you, and it seemed to throw light on some of your actions which had puzzled me of late. I went to your drawer and found the money, and thought I would give it to Sam to keep for you." "To Sam Raynes?" cried Elma, backing a few steps, her voice assuming a tone of terror. "Yes. Do be careful, Elma, or you'll fall right down into the area.
I am not overparticular; very small pleasures content me; and there's a fellow whom I love." "A fellow whom you love?" echoed Kitty; "is it a brother?" "Bless you, I'm not likely to put myself out about a brother; not that I have one, and so much the better, thank goodness. There's a man whom I love, and a right jolly fellow he is his name is Sam Raynes.
If therefore, as on the site of the old Hochelaga, this burying-ground is on the out skirts of a town site, relics of a much more interesting character may be looked for in the undisturbed neighborhood just referred to, the Raynes and Murray farms, and those on, the southern slope of the Mountain.
"Oh!" thought Elma, "Sam Raynes has repented. He was able to find money after all, and has brought it to me. This is nice." "What's the matter, Elma?" called Carrie from her bed. "Nothing, Carrie. I'll be back in a few moments." Elma hastily refastened her dress; put up her hands to her hair to smooth it, and tripped downstairs, full of expectation and hope.
"Everything is up and everything is over. What are you doing with that paper, Carrie?" "I am folding up the money I have just got for Kitty Malone?" "The money you have got for Kitty Malone! Has has Sam Raynes returned the sovereigns?" "Bless you, poor Sam can't do impossibilities. No; this money has nothing whatever to do with Sam. I am folding it up, and giving her a little account with it.
