The master lifted the boy tenderly in his arms. Johnny, stimulated by the prospect of a free ride, became feebly interested in his fellow sufferer. "Did Theth hit him bad?" he asked. "Seth?" echoed the master, wildly. "Yeth. I theed him when he took aim."
The visitor proved to be a young gentleman named Theed, aged about twenty-one, who was devoted to music and sometimes sang duets with her. She would have none of his duets to-night. She scarcely smiled when receiving him, and would scarcely condescend to talk to him. She was in no mood for talking with this immature young man this boy, who came with his prattle when she wished to be alone.
He amused us with a description of half a night's debate with John Bright on political economy, while he said, "Bright theed and thoud with me for hours, while his Quaker wife sat up hearin' us baith. I tell ye, John Bright got as gude as he gie that night"; and I have no doubt that he did.
At last he found a something that looked like a door in the rock. He looked to see if there was a latch-string, for the houses in the Indian Kaintuck are opened with latch-strings. But he could not find one. The time I went down to Madison, to market with mammy, I theed a feller dretht up to kill come along and open hith door with a iron thing. That mout be a key.
"I know Theriff Briggth, he rid over the boundary with a lot o' men and horthes," said Johnny, with that hurried delivery with which he was able to estop interruption. "Theed 'em go by. Maur Harrithon theth his dad's goin' to chuck out ole McKinthtry. Hooray!" Mrs. McKinstry turned her dark face sharply on Seth. "What's that he sez?"
I only use one kind; it is sent to me from Paris, and I let it get too low before ordering a fresh supply." He laughed incredulously. Miss Starbrow looked offended. "Are you so shortsighted and so innocent as to imagine that the colour you generally see on my face is natural, Mr. Theed? What a vulgar blowzy person you must have thought me!
"Henry!" his wife turned upon him "I am convinced that poor child will never marry!" "Give her time, my dear, and don't talk nonsense!" "It isn't nonsense! I tell you I felt just as I did when I went to see Mary Theed, years ago you remember that pretty cousin of mine who became a Carmelite nun? for the first time after she had taken the veil.
