"Abraham Van Vechten is skilful counsel, and an honest man, and is riot likely to be employed in a cause that rests only on an old woman's hearsays and all to save her own farm!" Marble could keep silence no longer.
I will do the latter, but the former never! Shall I consider our interview at an end?" She turned to leave the room, but Mr. Browning caught her dress, exclaiming: "Stay, Rosamond, and hear me. I never uttered such words to Mrs. Van Vechten. I do not wish you to marry Ben unless you love him. Do you love him, Rosamond? Do you love anybody?"
I rather think your $963.42, will prove to be of the same quality as your law." "And, yet, it struck me, Mr. Van Tassel, that you rather disliked the idea of swearing to the truth of an answer to a certain bill in Chancery, which, if I cannot draw, one Abraham Van Vechten, of Albany, can!"
The opinion of Rufus King in this case was concurred in by Stephen Lush, T. V. W. Graham, and Abraham Van Vechten, of Albany; Richard Harrison, John Lawrence, John Cozine, Cornelius J. Bogart, Robert Troup, James M. Hughes, and Thomas Cooper, of New-York.
And along with a better position came a man's responsibility, which he shouldered alone. "'I was horribly afraid I'd fall down on the job, he told me long afterward. 'And there wasn't a living soul I could turn to for help. The thing was up to me alone!" Mrs. Trask looked from Mrs. Bullen to Mrs. Van Vechten. "Mostly they fight alone," she said, as if she thought aloud.
Browning, I am surprised at you!" "Mr. Browning! Thunder! Just as though I was my uncle!" cried a familiar voice, and looking at the speaker, Rosamond recognized Ben Van Vechten! He had come to Riverside the day previous, he said, and hearing she was expected, had waited at the depot four mortal hours, and then returned in disgust.
She did not care so much for the liberties Ben had attempted to take, but his mother's words rankled in her bosom, awakening within her a feeling of bitter resentment; and when, next day, the lady's bell rang out its summons for her to come, she sat still upon the doorsteps and gave no heed. "Rosamond," said Mrs. Peters, "Mrs. Van Vechten is ringing for you."
Peters' dress and pinned on Bridget's collar," answered Rosamond, her great brown eyes brimming with mischief. "Disgusting!" returned Mrs. Van Vechten "I should suppose Ralph would know better than to get me such an ignoramus. Were you hired on purpose to wait on me?" "Why, no, ma'am I live here," answered Rosamond. "Live here!" repeated Mrs. Van Vechten, "and pray, what do you do?"
Van Vechten bowed coolly, and taking a book of prints, busied herself for awhile in examining them; then the book dropped from her hand her head fell back her mouth fell open, and Ben, who was anxiously watching her, knew by unmistakable sounds that she was fast asleep.
Van Vechten was slowly making her toilet alone, there came a gentle rap at her door, and Rosamond Leyton appeared, her face fresh and blooming as a rose-bud, her curls brushed back from her forehead, and her voice very respectful, as she said "I have come to ask your pardon for my roughness yesterday.
