It is the best thing that could befall a man so bound up with calamity. It is what he hath prayed for for many a year if only it were not for you. And now you are safe, and for sure he knows it, if the angels heed their business." With these words he withdrew, and kindly sent Suan back to me, knowing that her soothing ways would help me more than argument.
"Suan no hurry; shild no hurry; master no hurry: come last of all." "I tell you, Suan, I want to see him. And I am not accustomed to be kept waiting. My dear father insisted always But oh, Suan, Suan, he is dead I am almost sure of it." "Him old man quite dead enough, and big hole dug in the land for him. Very good; more good than could be. Suan no more Inglese."
I am not learned enough to say exactly where the damage was, but the doctor called it, I think, the sternum, and pronounced that "a building-up process" was required, and must take a long time, if it ever could be done. It was done at last, thanks to Suan Isco, who scarcely ever left him by day or night, and treated him skillfully with healing herbs.
We have three thousand feet to go upward. The air will be sharp up there, and I doubt if we shall be home by night-fall. Run, Suan, and fetch the young lady's cloak, and a pair of thicker boots for change." Suan Isco never ran. That manner of motion was foreign to her, at least as we accomplish it. When speed was required, she attained it by increased length of stride and great vigor of heel.
"Even for a moment that does not in any way express my meaning. My mind is very much above all eating when it dwells upon you, Erema. I have always been fond of you, Erema." "You have always been good to me, Firm," I said, as I managed to get a great branch between us. "After your grandfather, and Suan Isco, and Jowler, I think that I like you best of almost any body left to me.
And being so unable to settle for myself, I waited for something to settle it. Something came, in a way which I had not by any means expected. I had told Suan Isco how glad I was that Firm had fixed his liking steadily upon Miss Sylvester. If any woman on earth could be trusted not to say a thing again, that one was this good Indian.
This subject had troubled me more than once, though of course it had nothing whatever to do with the point of view whence I regarded him. Suan Isco could not tell me, neither could Martin of the mill; I certainly could not ask Firm himself, as the Sawyer told me to do when once I put the question, in despair, to him.
Ephraim, knowing the old man's ways, and the manners, perhaps, of the neighborhood, beckoned to Suan to be quick with something hot, that he might hurry out again. Then he took his dinner standing, and without a word went forth to seek. "Take the snow-harrow, and take Jowler," the old man shouted after him, and the youth turned round at the gate and waved his cap to show that he heard him.
Suan, you are burning the fat again." Mr. Gundry knew that it was wise to offer no further meddling, although it is well to keep them up to their work by a little grumbling. But when I came to see what broken bits were left for Suan to deal with, I only wondered that he was not cross. "Thank God for a better meal than I deserve," he said, when they all had finished.
The Regent listened to his eager representation with benevolence, nay with expressions of sympathy; but assured him that the war absorbed all the funds of the state, that the chests were empty; still he felt inclined even if they had not failed to sacrifice a part of his own income to preserve the endangered arable land of his faithful province of Suan, to which he desired greeting.
