Presently she sent Katy to get her some drink, not because she wanted it, but to procure her absence for a short time. "Do you think I shall get well?" asked Mrs. Redburn, as soon as the door closed behind Katy. "A person who is very sick, is of course, always in danger, which may be more or less imminent," replied the doctor, with professional indirectness.
"You must not blame me for what I have done, mother; I could not help it;" and she proceeded to narrate all the particulars of her forenoon's occupation. Mrs. Redburn was annoyed at the incident with the fat gentleman; more so than by the rudeness to which Katy had been subjected.
"Honor thy father and thy mother," the commandment says; and she could think of no better way to obey the divine precept than to support her mother when there was no one else upon whom she could rely. Little by little their earthly possessions had passed away. Mrs. Redburn had never learned how to save money; and when the day of adversity came, her funds were soon exhausted.
Redburn was too much affected by the news from her early home to find fault with Katy for what she had done. Both of them felt very sad for while Mrs. Redburn thought of her father, who had lain in his grave ten years without her knowledge, Katy could not but mourn over the hopes which Tommy's letter had blasted.
After pointing out the spot in which he wished his ashes to repose, he gave to 'his dear old friends, Jack Redburn and myself, his house, his books, his furniture, in short, all that his house contained; and with this legacy more ample means of maintaining it in its present state than we, with our habits and at our terms of life, can ever exhaust.
Redburn and Katy were obliged to work very hard so hard that the former began to experience a return of her old complaint. The affectionate daughter was frightened when she first mentioned the fact, and begged her not to work any more. "What shall I do, Katy?" asked she, with a smile. "Let me make the candy," replied Katy. "I am strong enough." "No, Katy, you are not.
A murmur of incredulity went through the crowd of spectators. Even "pilgrim" Redburn was astonished. After removing the cards, Ned Harris turned and leveled his revolver at the head of the young man from the East. "Your name?" he said, briefly, "is " "Harry Redburn." "Very well. Harry Redburn, that gambler under cover of your pistol is guilty of a crime, punishable in the Black Hills by death.
I am here poor and wretched, because I disobeyed my father; because I did what he desired me not to do. I will tell you all about it, Katy. I became acquainted with the new clerk, John Redburn, and the result of our acquaintance was, that we were married in about a year. We ran away from home; for my father, however much he liked John as a clerk, was not willing that he should be my husband.
I took no further notice of the circumstance at that time, but it formed the subject of a conversation between me and my friend Jack Redburn next morning, when I found that I had not been deceived in my impression.
"What is your name, child?" "Katy Redburn, ma'am." "In what house do you live in?" "In one of yours in Colvin Court. Mother is a poor woman, and has been sick so much this summer that she can't pay the rent." "I am very sorry for you, my child, but I refer you to my agent, Dr. Flynch. I do not like to meddle with these things, as I have given him the whole care of my houses.
