"That's right, Tamsie," he said heartily, as though recalled to himself by the sight of her, "you have decided to come down. I am glad of it." "Hush no, no," she said quickly. "I only came to speak to you." "But why not join us?" "I cannot. At least I would rather not. I am not well enough, and we shall have plenty of time together now you are going to be home a good long holiday."
He entered the van, where there was a fire in a stove. Without lighting his candle he sat down at once on the three-legged stool, and pondered on what he had seen and heard touching that still-loved one of his. He uttered a sound which was neither sigh nor sob, but was even more indicative than either of a troubled mind. "My Tamsie," he whispered heavily. "What can be done?
O, it is a shame to say so; but it is true!" She indulged in a little laugh. "My low spirits begin at the very idea. Don't you offer me tame love, or away you go!" "I wish Tamsie were not such a confoundedly good little woman," said Wildeve, "so that I could be faithful to you without injuring a worthy person. It is I who am the sinner after all; I am not worth the little finger of either of you."
I shall approve, of course, dear Tamsie. Who can it be? I am quite at a loss to guess. No I am not 'tis the old doctor! not that I mean to call him old, for he is not very old after all. Ah I noticed when he attended you last time!" "No, no," she said hastily. "'Tis Mr. Venn." Clym's face suddenly became grave.
"O Tamsie," said the elder, weeping, "I don't like to let you go." "I I am " Thomasin began, giving way likewise. But, quelling her grief, she said "Good-bye!" again and went on. Then Mrs.
"You might have asked him to come in, I think, Tamsie. He has been very kind to you first and last." "I will now," she said; and, acting on the impulse, went through the wicket to where Venn stood under the Maypole. "It is Mr. Venn, I think?" she inquired. Venn started as if he had not seen her artful man that he was and said, "Yes." "Will you come in?" "I am afraid that I "
"No," he said slowly. "Upon the whole I don't blame you. But just consider how sudden it seems to me. Here was I, knowing nothing; and then I am told all at once that Tamsie is gone to be married. Well, I suppose there was nothing better to do. Do you know, mother," he continued after a moment or two, looking suddenly interested in his own past history, "I once thought of Tamsin as a sweetheart?
There are fifty of them out there if there's one. You stay in this room with Thomasin; I'll go out and face them. You must stay now, for my sake, till they are gone, so that it may seem as if all was right. Come, Tamsie dear, don't go making a scene we must marry after this; that you can see as well as I. Sit still, that's all and don't speak much. I'll manage them. Blundering fools!"
We cannot get off till then. I think it will be a month or more." "Yes, yes. Of course. Ah, Cousin Tamsie, you will get over your trouble one little month will take you through it, and bring something to console you; but I shall never get over mine, and no consolation will come!" "Clym, you are unjust to yourself. Depend upon it, aunt thought kindly of you.
O, it is a shame to say so; but it is true!" She indulged in a little laugh. "My low spirits begin at the very idea. Don't you offer me tame love, or away you go!" "I wish Tamsie were not such a confoundedly good little woman," said Wildeve, "so that I could be faithful to you without injuring a worthy person. It is I who am the sinner after all; I am not worth the little finger of either of you."
