The night I drove Virgie to Snow Hill I drove over poor Wonnell's body. A strange negro was seen here an enemy of your servant, Samson. The new cook at Teackle Hall thinks he fired the shot." The young rector felt the searching look of those resinous forester's eyes staring him through. "That shot was meant for me, William Tilghman." "Perhaps so."
He knew what Kate would say knew what she would do, and knew what she would command him to do, could she have heard Willits's continued insults in this very room but a moment before while St. George was trying to make him apologize to his host and so end the disgraceful incident. "Then I'll go and bring in the colonel and see what he can do!" burst out Teackle, starting for the door.
"Very well, then, we will read verse about, so that Mr. Milburn can hear both our voices and his favorite minister's, too. You'll come, papa?" "Yes, if I can. We have had a love-feast at Teackle Hall this morning, and your sister from Talbot is down, but I think I can get off." "Lord sakes!" Rhoda said, looking at Mr. Tilghman candidly; "you ain't a minister now? Not a minister of the Gospil?"
He would have taken her to his grandmother's, with whom he kept house, but that aristocratic old dowager might say something, he considered, to destroy Rhoda's confidence in her elegant appearance and easy vocabulary; and they walked past Teackle Hall, where Vesta saw them, and opened the door and made them come in and eat a little.
Moorlands without old Alec would hive been a wheel without a hub. As a distinct feature of all these preparations and this was the best part of the programme Harry was to meet Kate at the outer gate supported by half a dozen of his young friends and hers Dr. Teackle, Mark Gilbert, Langdon Willits, and one or two others while Mrs. Rutter, Mrs. Cheston, Mrs.
Dey brought her in dis mornin' wi' two little children outen Teackle Hall kitchen; one of dem you give dat silver to little Ned. Hominy ain't said a word sence she come." Jimmy Phoebus went back to the corner of the den where the old woman cowered, and called her name in many different accents and with kind assurances: "Hominy, ole woman, don't you know Ellenory's Jimmy?
"Yes," he said, "I will start right. She is sick and alone, and Vesta taken from her. I will send a note to the rector to announce the marriage, as Vesta requested, and do my worship at Teackle Hall this day."
The Virginia spirit rose in Vesta's eyes: "Whoever killed this dog only wanted the courage to kill men!" she exclaimed. "James Phoebus, look here!" The pungy captain had been abroad for hours, and the masts of his vessel were just visible across the marshy neck in the rear of Teackle Hall. He touched his hat and came in. "Early mornin', Miss Vesty! Hallo! Turk dead? By smoke, yer's pangymonum!"
Oh, what a house is Teackle Hall full of male and female foresters, abolitionists, runaways, and radicals! All made crazy by the bog ores and the fool's hat!" Descending to the yard, Vesta found Turk lying in his blood, his mastiff jaws and shaggy sides clotted red, and, as it seemed, the howl in which he died still lingering in the air.
Oh, I am faint for father's arms to take me." Was this Teackle Hall that Virgie looked upon a square, bright room, and her bed beside a window, and below her stretching streets of cobblestone and brick, and roofs of houses, to green marshes filled with cows, and a river that seemed blue as heaven, which sipped it from above like a boy drinking head downward in a spring? How beautiful!
