"But Felicita must not be buried here," exclaimed Phebe, her voice faltering, with an accent of horror at the thought of it. A shudder of repugnance ran through him also. Roland Sefton's grave was here, and what would be more natural than to bury Felicita beside it? "No, no," he cried, "you must save me from that, Phebe. She must be brought home and buried among her own people.
A sense of irritation against Lucia Catherwood rose in Mr. Sefton's mind. As he could not stir her in any obvious manner by speaking of Prescott, he felt a desire to move her in some way, to show his power over her, to compel from her an appeal for mercy. It would be a triumph to bring a woman at once so strong and so proud to her knees.
The happiest season of the year to Mr. Clifford was that when Phebe and Roland Sefton's children were in his neighborhood. Felicita remained firm to her resolution that Felix should have nothing to do with his father's business, and the boy himself had decided in his very childhood that he would follow in the footsteps of his ancestor, Felix Merle, the brave pastor of the Jura.
And Wilson's party settled between the plains of Waay-plaats and the Kowie bush, right across the path of the elephants, some of which they tried to shoot with fowling-pieces. And Sefton's party founded the village of Salem, the religious importance of which to the early progress of the settlement, is not to be estimated by its present size and population. These four were the large parties.
"'There'll be scores of lads after her, says mother, 'for old Marlowe has piles o' money in Sefton's Old Bank, everybody knows that. But, Phebe, there aren't a many houses like mine for you to step right into. I'm glad I came to bring you comfort to-night." "But father lost all his money in the Old Bank nine months ago," answered Phebe.
The colour in Helen's cheeks deepened and Robert saw the faintest quiver of her lower lip. "It is true," she replied. "I am a secretary in Mr. Sefton's office and I get fifteen dollars a week." "Confederate money?" "No, in gold." "What do you do it for?" "For the money. I need it." Mrs. Markham flicked the pony's mane again and once more he reared, but, as before, the strong hand restrained him.
Clifford's conscience smote him as he listened to Phebe's unworldly comment on Roland Sefton's conduct. If Roland had met him with the announcement of a gain of ten thousand pounds by a lucky though unauthorized speculation, he knew very well his own feeling would have been utterly different from that with which he had heard of the loss of ten thousand pounds.
Vibart, I object to your tone; the noble Sefton's virtue is proud and high, and above even the breath of suspicion." "And yet my cousin would seem to be no laggard in love, and as to the Prince his glance is contamination to a woman." "Sir," returned Mr.
Yes, you are right; there must be some other way;" and then, after a moment's consideration, she added, "There is a fancy bazaar at the Pavilion this afternoon; some friends of the Sefton's are stall-holders, and we are all going; every one will be there; why should you not go too?"
Upon reaching Sefton's farm, he found the owner "with his breeches and coat sleeves both rolled up, and standing in the middle of a clear and shallow stream, where one could scarcely step without spoiling the sports of the brook trout, which sparkled through the crystal waters.
