"Now I have it," he said; and suddenly seeing the double meaning of his words, the young man added, with a blush and a smile, "it is all I want in the world." "What? the oh!" And Miss Redbud, suddenly aware of Mr. Verty's meaning, finds her voice rather unsafe, and her cheeks covered with blushes.
Redbud lay here gazing with delight upon the landscape, and smiling pleasantly. The autumn hours were going to the west the trees had grown more golden than on that fine evening, when, with sad mishaps to Fanny, the gay party had wandered over the hills, though not very far away, and seen the thunder-storm suck in the dazzling glories of the bannered trees.
Roundjacket to give the advice, might have been been peculiar." And Miss Lavinia smooths down her black silk with dignity. "Peculiar?" "Yes," says the lady, glancing this time at Redbud. "How was it, Verty?" the Squire says, turning to the young man. Verty, conscious of his secret, blushes and stammers; for how can he tell the Squire that Mr.
Redbud, without knowing very well why, bought a little red coral necklace, which looked bright and new, and rattled merrily as she took it; for some reason the pedlar parted with it for a very small sum, and then somewhat hastily packed up his goods, and ducking his head in thanks, went on his way.
Verty saw that this tragic gesture indicated a determination which could not be disputed. He therefore put on his hat, and having now caught sight of Fanny and Redbud, bowed to his companion, and went into the garden. Miss Sallianna gasped, and sinking into a chair, fell into violent hysterics, in which numerous allusions were made to vipers. Poor Verty!
Redbud is sauntering over the sward, and listening to the wind in the beautiful fallwoods, when, from those woods which stretch toward the West, emerges a figure, which immediately rivets her attention. It is a young man of about eighteen, mounted on a small, shaggy-coated horse, and clad in a wild forest costume, which defines clearly the outline of a person, slender, vigorous, and graceful.
Verty looked after her with deeper astonishment than before. Then everybody disliked him everybody avoided him: no doubt he had been guilty of some terrible fault toward Redbud, and her friend knew it, and would not stay in his presence. What could that fault be? Not his costume not the attempt he had made to intrude upon her privacy.
Rushton," said Redbud, "is not heaven worth all the world and its affections?" "Yes your heaven is." "My heaven ?" "Yes, yes heaven!" cried the lawyer, impatiently "everybody's heaven that chooses. But you were about to say " "This, sir: that if heaven is so far above earth, and those who are received there by God, enjoy eternal happiness " "Very well!"
He did not succeed in persuading Redbud to buy a beautiful dress pattern, with dahlias and hollyhocks, in their natural size and colors; and was equally unsuccessful with Fanny, who obstinately declined to reduce into her possession a lovely lace cap, such as our dear old grandmamas' portraits show us though this description may be incorrect, as Fanny always said that the article in question was a night-cap.
"Hum!" said the voice again, in indignant protest against the force of any such reasoning. "You are not Redbud," continued the cavalier; "I want to see Redbud." "Well, sir, go down, and Reddy may come and see you," the voice replied; "as long as you stand there, you will not lay eyes on her if you stay a week, or a year." At this dreadful threat, Verty retreated from the door.
