I was a Southerner, but my husband came from the North, and brought me up North here to live. I always hated it this Northern life and, though I loved my husband dearly, I hated his devotion to it. We never agreed about those questions. When my twin babies were born, I secretly determined that they should be Southerners, in spirit, and only Southerners.
His hearers, including Andrews, laughed, almost scornfully. "Just wait and see," returned Macgreggor. "A Southerner is as brave, and has as much brains as a Northerner." We shall see who was right in the matter. On sped the fugitive train once more, and in a few minutes it had stopped, with much bumping and rattle of brakes at the station called Adairsville.
However, he got settled with when once we were snugly into harbour, and was a long fortnight in hospital repairing damages. That's where an Englishman scores. Whip away the coltello from the back of his belt, get him to put up his hands, steer clear of his feet, and you have a southerner on toast.
To judge from the costly articles of jewellery displayed in the stores, I should have supposed that there was a great rage for ornament; but from the reply I once received from a jeweller, on asking him who would purchase a five-thousand-guinea diamond bracelet, "I guess some Southerner will buy it for his wife," I believe that most of these articles find their way to the South and West, where a less-cultivated taste may be supposed to prevail.
The Southerner flushed, and for reply produced the rumpled paper from his boot leg, and handed it over without a word. The Northerner read it carefully. "Pass Virginia Cary and escort through all Confederate lines and give safe-conduct wherever possible. "R.E. LEE, General."
Now dinner, for there goes the Hotel brass band down below a cada necio agrada su porrada to me the pipes, the brass band to the Southerner, but for us all dinner "both meat and music," as the fox said when it ate the bagpipes. To each fool agreeable is his folly; and, the bag of the pipes is made of sheep-skin you see.
"You are as sot as the everlasting hills." Mara was silent, and glad indeed that her quiet face gave no hint of the tumult in her heart. Mrs. Hunter's eyes were angrily following Clancy and Miss Ainsley. "Well," she said, with a scornful laugh, "that renegade Southerner has found his proper match in that Yankee coquette. I doubt whether he gets her though, if a man ever does get a born flirt.
Maroney was a Southerner, and her heart warmed toward any one from there, so she determined to avail herself of the first opportunity of getting an introduction to Madam Imbert. She entered into a dissertation on Maroney and his virtues; did not exactly say that he owned any negroes, but hinted that he would soon do so. She spoke of Maroney as a man who had plenty of money.
"If you enter on this affair, and then, in any kind of weakness or fickleness, give it up, I shall despise you, and so will all in this city who know about it. Count the cost. I'm too true a Southerner to look at you again if you trifle with a Southern girl. Your father will offer you great inducements to abandon this folly, as he will term it."
"It's because he's in bad hands, and still I have not warned him!" March did not see them again that day. In the evening, two men, friends, sitting in the hotel's rotunda, were conjecturing who yonder guest might be to whose inquiries the clerk was so promptly attentive. "He's a Southerner, that's plain; and a gentleman, that's just as certain."
