Pisistratus, seeing that the thread of his day-dreams is broken, consents with an air of resignation. Just as they gain the door, Blanche pauses, and looks as if there were something on her mind. Pisistratus "What now, Blanche? Why are you making knots in that ribbon, and writing invisible characters on the floor with the point of that busy little foot?" "I have found a new room, Sisty.
By Jupiter, Sisty, that same Hall was a fine fellow! I wonder if the medicine has gone through the same channels in both? Tell me, first, how it has affected you." "Imprimis, then, my dear uncle, I fancy that a book like this must do good to all who live in the world in the ordinary manner, by admitting us into a circle of life of which I suspect we think but little.
Only three weeks to the holidays, and then no more school, Sisty, no more school! I shall have your room all done, freshly, and made so pretty; they are coming about it to-morrow. The duck is quite well, and I really don't think it is quite as lame as it was. God bless you, dear, dear child. Your affectionate happy mother.
"But not the plough of care: rich, famous, Ellinor his wife, and no son!" "It is because his heart is sometimes sad that he would see us." Roland stared first at my father, next at me. "Then," quoth my uncle, heartily, "in God's name, let him come. I can shake him by the hand, as I would a brother soldier. Poor Trevanion! Write to him at once, Sisty." I sat down and obeyed.
"I fear not," said my mother; "for Roland is anxious to get back to his tower, and in a day or two he will be well enough to move." "Do you not think, my dear mother, that, somehow or other, this lost son of his had something to do with Roland's illness, that the illness was as much mental as physical?" "I have no doubt of it, Sisty. What a sad, bad heart that young man must have!"
Pray beware of Uncle Jack, or we shall all be swept into a coal-mine, or explode with a grand national company for making gunpowder out of tea-leaves!" "Wicked child!" said my mother, laughing; and then, as she took up her candle and lingered a moment while I wound my watch, she said, musingly: "Yet Jack is very, very clever; and if for your sake we could make a fortune, Sisty!"
Did you not share in the day dreams your brother conjured up, and exclaim, 'If my brother could be the means of raising him in the world! And when you thought we had found the way to fame and fortune, did you not sob out from your full heart, 'And it is my brother who will pay back to his son all all he gave up for me'?" "I cannot bear this, Sisty! Cease, cease!"
They keep it from me, and that is my hardest punishment; for when I don't know all that he that Austin suffers, it seems to me as if I had lost his heart. Oh, Sisty, my child, my child, don't fear me! I shall be happy whatever befalls us, if I once get back my privilege, my privilege, Sisty, to comfort, to share! Do you understand me?" "Yes indeed, my mother!
"I fear not," said my mother; "for Roland is anxious to get back to his tower, and in a day or two he will be well enough to move." "Do you not think, my dear mother, that, somehow or other, this lost son of his had something to do with Roland's illness, that the illness was as much mental as physical?" "I have no doubt of it, Sisty. What a sad, bad heart that young man must have!"
I turned quickly, and met the full, dark, seriously sweet eyes of my cousin Blanche. "Don't go away yet, Sisty," said she, coaxingly. "I have been waiting for you, for I heard your voice, and did not like to come in and disturb you." "And why did you wait for me, my little Blanche?" "Why! only to see you. But your eyes are red.
