Every morning we are wakened up at an unseasonable hour by a furious ringing at the door-bell Joe Manton pulls off his nightcap, and slowly descending the stairs, opens the door, and finds Mr. Thorn, who inquires distractedly whether Miss Ringgan has arrived; and being answered in the negative, gloomily walks off towards the East river.
Jolly will come here in the morning with some good news, and then we should be troubling ourselves just for nothing." "Perhaps he will," said Mr. Ringgan, in a way that sounded much more like "Perhaps he won't!" But Fleda was determined now not to seem discouraged again. She thought the best way was to change the conversation.
"You see, Josh is just a going to set up for himself at Kenton, and he'll want some help of me; and I expect that'll be about as much as I can manage to lay my hands on." "Do you know who has any that he would be likely to lend?" said Mr. Ringgan. "No, I don't. Money is rather scarce. For your rent, eh?" "Yes, for my rent! The farm brings me in nothing but my living.
"Shall I tell this gentleman, Miss Ringgan, who needs protection, and from what? Fleda raised her head, and putting her hand on his arm looked a concentration of entreaty lips were sealed. "Will you give me," said he gently taking the hand in his own, "your sign manual for Capt. Rossitur's security? It is not too late. Ask it of her, sir!"
I know each lane, and every alley green, Dingle or bushy dell of this wild wood, And every bosky bourne from side to side; My daily walks and ancient neighbourhood. Fleda and her grandfather had but just risen from a tolerably early breakfast the next morning, when the two young sportsmen entered the room. "Ha!" said Mr. Ringgan, "I declare! you're stirring betimes.
"Amy Ringgan was a sweet good woman as ever was in this town." Again her daughter's glance and smile went over to the speaker. "You stay in Queechy and live like Queechy folks do," Mrs. Douglass added, nodding encouragingly, "and you'll beat both on 'em." But this speech jarred, and Fleda wished it had not been spoken. "How does your uncle like farming?" said aunt Syra.
Ringgan, with a look of grave and not unmoved consideration which Fleda did not in the least like; "How long will you stay at Montepoole Sir?" "It might be several days," Mr. Carleton said. "Hum You have given up this day to Fleda, Mr. Carleton, suppose you take to-morrow for the game, and come here and try our country fare when you have got through shooting? you and young Mr.
Carleton, sir," said that lady, "I am not at all sure that it would be the best thing for Miss Ringgan if she is better, I think it would do her far more good to go to rest and let sleep finish her cure, before taking something that will make sleep impossible." "Did you ever hear of a physician, Mrs. Evelyn," he said smiling, "that allowed his prescriptions to be interfered with?
Ringgan went on, "for his fine behaviour out here at the West what's the name of the place? I forget it just now fighting the Indians. There never was anything finer done." "He was brave, wasn't he, grandpa?" "Brave! he had a heart of iron sometimes, for as soft as it was at others. And he had an eye, when he was roused, that I never saw anything that would stand against.
I can't go about and see to things any more as I used to. However we must expect evils at my time of life. I don't complain. I have a great deal to be thankful for." "Yes, sir, we have a great deal to be thankful for," said Mr. Jolly rather abstractedly, and patting the old mare with kind attention. "Have you seen that fellow McGowan?" said Mr. Ringgan abruptly, and in a lower tone.
