I thought that never was a place so utterly delightsome as this place. With all speed I dressed myself, noiselessly, so as not to waken Mrs. Sandford; and then I resolved I would go out and see if I could not find a place where I could be by myself; for in the house there was no chance of it. I took Mr. Dinwiddie's Bible and stole down stairs.
In San Francisco a new house, just started since the gold discoveries, has done a business with us almost as large. In Bombay Messrs. Nickerson, Bolton, & Co. are our correspondents; in Calcutta Messrs. Hostermann, Jennings, & Black; in Hong Kong Messrs. Naylor & Tibbetts; in Sydney Messrs. Sandford & Perley.
"I know I must ask; but I do not know what power can force you to answer." "Isn't it my duty, Dr. Sandford?" "Nobody but Daisy Randolph would have asked that question," he said. "Well, if duty is on my side, I know I am powerful. But, Daisy, you always used to answer me, in times when there was no duty in the case." "I remember," I said, smiling to think of it; "but I was a child then, Dr.
She waked up however, with a feeling of some change and a doubt upon her mind as to what custody she was in; but she was not sure, till the woman of the house lit a miserable dip candle, which threw a light that mocked the darkness over the weary company. Daisy did not like the arrangement at all. "Dr. Sandford!" she exclaimed. "I shall tire you. Please put me on the floor and let me stand."
"My dear, if you stay, you will be obliged to see all manner of horrible things." "They must be worse to bear than to see, Mrs. Sandford." "But you cannot endure to see them, Daisy; you never can. Grant will never allow it." I sewed in silence, thinking that Dr. Sandford would conform his will to mine in the matter. "I will never forgive him if he does!" said the lady.
Sandford was giving my baggage in charge to somebody. And then he took his place beside me and we drove off. And I drew a long breath. "Punctual to your time, Daisy," said the doctor. "But what made you choose such a time? How much of yourself have you left by the way?"
"Do you mean to say, Daisy, that the poor people down yonder at Magnolia want such things as gowns and blankets?" "Some do," I said. "You know, nobody is there, Dr. Sandford, to look after them; and the overseer does not care. It would be different if papa was at home."
Sandford, you said a word just now I did not understand." "Only one?" said the doctor. "I think there was only one I did not know in the least." "Can you direct me to it?" "You said something about an ocean of air in a state what state?" "Incandescence?" "That was it." "That is a state where it gives out white heat."
He stood still, looking out. His mind was churning like a yeasty sea. Old facts came to the surface; faces once familiar; the form and countenance of a brother drowned at twenty in Sandford lasher on the Oxford Thames; friends of his early manhood, riding beside him to hounds, or over the rolling green of the Campagna.
One night, at about ten o'clock, as little George was sitting, reading the history of Sandford and Merton, in which he was much interested, he was roused by a loud knocking at the house door. He ran to open it: but how much was he shocked at the sight he beheld! It was Mrs. Dolly! her leg broken, and her skull fractured!
