'Did something in my letter displease you? inquired her husband. 'You mean because I didn't come? No; I really didn't feel well enough. Tarrant hesitated, but the softer feeling prevailed with him.

But she was very good and kind and gentle at last. She'll do everything she can for me. The fire in a blaze, Tarrant stood up and regarded it gloomily. 'Well, did she think it possible? he asked at length. 'Yes, she did. She said it would be very difficult, but the secret might be kept if I were strong enough. And I am strong enough I will be
Then he said, in a tone equally expressive of great deliberation: "Yes, madam, I think I never was present at an exhibition, an entertainment of any kind, which held me more completely under the charm."

'How? Nancy took courage, and spoke her thoughts. 'It's more expensive to live separately than if we were together. Tarrant seemed to give the point his impartial consideration.
Tarrant, in other words, incurred the displeasure of her family, who gave her husband to understand that, much as they desired to remove the shackles from the slave, there were kinds of behaviour which struck them as too unfettered.

She feels quite romantic about it your being a Southerner and all, and not naturally in sympathy with Boston ideas, and your meeting her that way in the street and making yourself known to her. She won't believe but what I shall move you." "Don't fear, Miss Tarrant, she shall be satisfied," Ransom said, with a laugh which he could see she but partially understood.
