"I guess I'd a-screeched right out if I hadn't remembered the baby. Elly Precious is terrible hard to put to sleep second time. You aren't much acquainted with babies, are you?" Again so soon! Miss Theodosia's humility returned. "We're acquainted, over to our house! Mother says babies are great edge edge " "Educators?" "That's it! Mercy gracious, then I should think Mother'd be graduated!"
In the spirit of this book Theodosia's education was conducted. Her mind had fair play. Her father took it for granted that she could learn what a boy of the same age could learn, and gave her precisely the advantages which he would have given a son. Besides the usual accomplishments, French, music, dancing, and riding, she learned to read Virgil, Horace, Terence, Lucian, Homer, in the original.
This was Theodosia's husband, and he was gazing with fixed eyes at his wife. During the acathistus Maslova occupied herself in scrutinising him and talking to Theodosia in whispers, and bowed and made the sign of the cross only when every one else did. Nekhludoff left home early.
The woman came here the 7th of this month for the money, and Harry went to Mrs. Van Ness the 9th, and she said that Mr. Van Ness did not tell her any thing of it, and she could not give it. Theodosia's preceptor. A coloured boy. A coloured man, the slave of Colonel Burr. Theodosia had now entered her twelfth year.
In imagination she already pictured herself by Theodosia's side, dressed in coarse rags, walking with a staff, a wallet on her back, along the dusty road, directing her wanderings from one saint's shrine to another, free from envy, earthly love, or desire, and reaching at last the place where there is no more sorrow or sighing, but eternal joy and bliss.
He ain't a pistol-man, but, mercy gracious, how you scare me! You comin' too, Stefana?" "Yes, Stefana can go now. She is all through," which was Miss Theodosia's kind inclusion of Stefana. That, again, was curiously new to Miss Theodosia. Psychological changes were taking place or were they just plain tugs on Miss Theodosia's heartstrings? She sat and sewed.
Evangeline led, with the effect of walking backward though she walked straight ahead and waving a baton. Stefana had Elly Precious, and Carrathers tramped soberly behind, in time to that imaginary wand. Miss Theodosia's fascinated gaze was riveted to the procession's arms. The wonder grew with nearness. Every individual parader in the procession wore a somber black arm-band.
He never appeared more unlike himself. I was somehow uncommonly stupid, and, would you believe it, even awkward. Said very little, and that little with hesitation. You know there are days when every thing goes against one. How could we forget Latimer? He has sung Theodosia's praise among the southern army in terms with which her best friends must be pleased.
She had not thought to do it herself, but he a man creature Miss Theodosia's eyes were tender. Stefana was still sitting among her roses. They lay across her lap. "Oh! Oh, come right in, Miss Theodosia!" she cried welcomingly. "But please to excuse me for not getting up I can't bear to disturb them. Seems as if I could sit right straight in this chair till they withered!
Your mother and I were old acquaintances and friends. I have seen you as a boy, and later on as an officer. Sit down and tell me what I can do for you. Yes, yes," he said, shaking his cropped white head, while Nekhludoff was telling him Theodosia's story. "Go on, go on. I quite understand. It is certainly very touching. And have you handed in the petition?"
