He progresses, sir does the married man from bad to worse; he lives in a state of hen-pecked, snubbed, unnatural apprehension; he shrinks from his shadow; trembles at every sound; and, in the majority of cases, ends his miserable existence, sir, by hanging himself to the bed-post!" Having drawn this awful picture of the perils of matrimony, Mr. Roundjacket paused and smiled. Verty looked puzzled.
"Who beguiled himself into this resort of innocence, and attacked my suspicious nature and now casts reproaches on my station in society and my youth!" "Oh, ma'am!" cried Verty. "Don't speak to me, sir! "No, ma'am." "Your very presence is deletrious." "Oh, Miss Sallianna!" "Go sir go!" "Yes, ma'am but are you well enough?" "Yes, sir!" "Have a glass of water?" "No, sir!"
O'Brallaghan to the door, whereupon Mr. Jinks repeated his former observation, and declared that it was an outrage upon his dignity and his rights. O'Brallaghan displayed some choler at the tone which Mr. Jinks used, and his Irish blood began to rise. He stated that Mr. Verty had come for his clothes, and should have them. Mr. Jinks replied, that he had'nt said anything about Mr.
True, she did not run on, as the phrase is, with Verty, as in the old days her manner had far more softness in it she was more quiet and reserved; but still, those constrained, restless looks were gone, and when Verty laughed, the winning smile came to the little face; and the small hand which he had taken was suffered to rest quietly in his own.
"Go, go by all means it will be of service to her to see home faces, and you are something like home to her. Short as the distance is, I can't leave my farm, and we can't have 'Bud with us every week, as I should wish." "I've just come from there," said Verty, "and Redbud is very well, and seems to like the place.
"Oh, me!" cried Verty, "you'll be drenched, Redbud! I must do something for your shoulders. They are almost bare!" And before Redbud could prevent him, the young man drew off his fur fringed coat and wrapped it round the girl's shoulders, with a tenderness which brought the color to her cheek.
He might talk himself, then! Verty did not embrace this tacit permission he remained silent; and gazing on Redbud, whose color began slowly to rise, as with heaving bosom and down-cast eyes she felt the young man's look he experienced more and more embarrassment a sentiment which began to give way to distress. At last he rose, and going to her side, took her hand.
Jinks frowned; then he added to Verty, "Young man, have the goodness to stand upon that bench." O'Brallaghan and Roundjacket retreated to the outer room, where they were, soon after, joined by Verty, who was laughing. "Well," muttered the young man, "I will not tell anybody that Mr. Jinks sews, if he don't want it to be known especially Miss Sallianna.
"I know you will," said the kind eyes, plainly, and Verty smiled. "I'm coming to see you very often here," he said, smiling, "and I'm going to do my work down at the office that old lady will let me come to see you, I know." Redbud looked dubious. "I don't know whether cousin Lavinia would think it was right," she said.
"How many things I remember," Verty said, thoughtfully, and smiling; "there, where Milo, the good dog, was buried, and a shot fired over him there, where we treed the squirrel and over yonder, by the run, which I used to think flowed by from fairy land I remember so many things!" "Yes I do too," replied the girl, thoughtfully, bending her head.
