Four years after his return from the Indies, Mr. Scofield was called to the bedside of his dying friend. In their last interviews he was charged with the guardianship and care of the young girl, conjointly with the mother, who was also recommended to his friendship, with the injunction ever to be to her as a brother and a counselor.
I'm not sure that I do, although the popular idea seems to be that a girl should have no vacation in the daily effort to find a husband. I continually disappoint the good people by insisting that the husband must find me. I have a presentiment that Mr. Scofield is looking for me; but there are some kinds of property which cannot be picked up and carried off, nolens volens, when found."
"Yes," added the doctor, springing out, "I never saw such driving! It's lucky our necks are not broken" "You are all right, Doctor, and ready for your work," Scofield remarked brusquely. "As for the horse, I'll soon bring him around;" and he rapidly began to unhitch the over-driven animal. "What are you going to do?" Miss Madison asked curiously. "Rub him into as good shape as when he started."
After making him as comfortable as possible, Mr. Scofield requested him to be seated, and then opened a conversation with him, on this wise: "I suppose, Charles, you have not forgotten the cause that separated us?" "No, uncle, I have not?" "And do you still adhere to your old determination?" "I do?" "Well, I have repented of my rashness, and I hope you will forgive me."
The debate was participated in by nearly all the prominent men, on both sides of the House the speeches of Messrs. Cox, Brooks, Voorhees, Mallory, Holman, Woods and Pendleton being the most notable, in opposition to, and those of Scofield, Rollins, Garfield and Stevens, in favor of, the Amendment.
Scofield looked upon Gaunt as one of the saints upon earth, but he "danged him" after that once or twice to himself for doubting the girl; and when Bone, who had heard it, "guessed Mist' Dode 'd never fling herself away on sich whinin' pore-white trash," his master said nothing in reproof. He rumpled her hair fondly, as she stood by him now on the porch.
On the morning following the episode in the mountains he was waiting to meet her when she came down to breakfast. "I've seen that boy, Miss Madison, and he's doing well." "What! so early? You are a very kind-hearted man, Mr. Scofield." "About as they average.
Thatcher is a genial, whole-souled man, having a host of warm friends, and has enjoyed the respect and confidence of all with whom he has been connected. W. C. Scofield,
With eight gells well married, well married, Jane, deny it, ef you can, what can you know of my feelins this day? Hyur's Mahala's husband dead an' gone, did you say tea or coffee, Jane? Joseph Scofield, a good brother-in-law to me's lives, laid in the sod this day. You may well shake yer head! But who 'll take his place to me? Dode there's young an' 'll outgrow it.
"Geordy boy," he used to call him, worth a dozen puling girls: since he died, the old man had never named his name. Scofield was a Rebel in every bitter drop of his heart's blood. He hurried to the house to prepare to go to the Union meeting. He had a reason for going. The Federal troops held Romney then, a neighboring village, and he knew many of the officers would be at this meeting.
