"It is simply to say your immediate presence at your late residence is necessary." "Where did you see my uncle?" asked she. "At Bellevue, madam, yesterday morning. I arrived at eleven o'clock to-day." "When did Mr. Dumont return from his journey up the river?" asked Dr. Vaudelier.
It was determined that Vernon should immediately depart for Vicksburg, whither Maxwell had gone. "He gives me leave to attend you, And is impatient till he sees you." It was the afternoon of the same day, as Dr. Vaudelier was reclining upon a rustic seat near the landing, he was surprised by the appearance of a canoe coming down the creek.
Vaudelier waits close by, and we are ready to witness the denouement of this climax of plots. It is already time for Jerome and Emily to arrive, and we desire your immediate presence at the mansion-house." "I will attend you. But I have in the house several friends of Miss Dumont " "Bring them all with you," interrupted Henry, looking at his watch.
Vaudelier, after a more thorough examination of his patient than he had been able to make before, was pleased to find that his wounds, though serious, were not of a dangerous character. He set the broken arm, and, by the exercise of the great skill for which he had been distinguished, restored him to consciousness, and made sure his future recovery. "Where is she?
"What mean you?" said the ruffian, sternly. "Mean? Why, just exactly what I say, Mr. Vaudelier! Don't start! I know you as well as you know yourself." Vernon bit his lips; he was confounded at hearing his name uttered, a name which had not greeted his ears for many years.
Vaudelier frowned, as his son-in-law related the unworthy part he had performed, and perhaps felt a consciousness of the good intentions which had years before induced him to refuse his consent to the marriage of his daughter. Jaspar yielded the point; but Maxwell, in the hope of gaining time, boldly proclaimed all the papers forgeries. "It matters not; we will not stop to discuss the matter now.
He had not approached the jail, and if any other person was aware that it had been undermined, they had not communicated the fact to him. As the last party entered, Dr. Vaudelier turned to look upon the new comers. Starting suddenly from his chair, he approached them, and gazed with earnestness into the face of Delia. "Is it possible!" said he.
The wind was blowing fresh, and, notwithstanding the contending force of the current, the boat careened to her task, and made very good progress through the water. While the gallant little bark pursues her way, we will introduce her skipper to the reader. Dr. Vaudelier was about fifty years of age.
He was, or rather had been, of that class of operators who "rob the rich to pay the poor;" who have no innate love of vice, only a desire to be free from wholesome restraint, and have at hand, without toil or sacrifice, the means of enjoying life to the utmost. "Jerome," said Dr. Vaudelier, "this Maxwell must be watched, and, if you are true to yourself, no one can do this duty as well as you."
She was a true woman, and the presence of Dr. Vaudelier did not restrain the expression of her woman's heart. It was visible in her pale cheek, in her heaving breast, and in her sparkling eye, from which oozed the gentle tear of affectionate sympathy. She held his hand; unconsciously, at the silent bidding of her warm heart, she gently pressed it.
