Yes! with a throbbing heart, eyes full of tears, a tenderness toward her boy-playmate she had never felt before, she had preserved her calmness. Crying was not wrong she hoped and that was left her. So the child cried, and cried, until nature exhausted herself, and rested. Verty stood for a moment gazing at the door through which Redbud had disappeared, unable to speak or move.
All the old doubt and embarrassment had now disappeared from Redbud's face; and Verty, too, was happy. They went on talking very quietly and pleasantly the fresh little face of Redbud lit up by her tender smile. "What are you gazing at?" said the young girl, smiling, as Verty's eye fixed itself upon the blue sky intently; "I don't see anything do you?" "Yes," said Verty, smiling too. "What?"
Your family have claims upon you, and these you cannot disregard, and unite yourself to one of an inferior race, who " "Oh, cousin Lavinia! cousin Lavinia!" cried Redbud, with a gush of tears, "please don't talk to me anymore about this; you make me feel so badly! Verty never said a word to me about marrying, and it would be foolish. Marry!
While Verty was thus gazing silently, and with growing embarrassment, at the two young girls, Redbud, with a beating heart, and trembling lips, played with the tassel of the sofa-cushion, and studied the figure of the carpet.
Verty, the god of love, throws his darts when we are not looking ah!" Which last word of Miss Sallianna's speech represents a sigh she uttered, as, after the manner of Diana, she darted a fatal arrow from her eyes, at Verty. It did not slay him, however, and he only murmured wofully, "Do you mean Reddy has changed, then, ma'am? Oh, what will become of me what shall I do!"
Verty had always loved the clouds; he had dreamed of Redbud often, while gazing on them; and now he smiled, and felt brighter as he looked. His forest instincts returned, and, bending his bow, he carelessly fitted an arrow upon the leather string. What should he shoot at?
"Moderate, moderate, young man," said the gentleman addressed; "you seem, however, to be at the summit of human felicity." "Anan?" "Don't you know what felicity means, you young savage?" "No, sir." "It means bliss." Verty laughed. "What is that?" he said. Mr. Roundjacket flourished his ruler, indignantly.
And having achieved this speech, Miss Lavinia stiffens again into imposing dignity, sails away into the house, and disappears, leaving Verty overwhelmed with surprise. He feels a hand laid upon his arm; a blushing face looks frankly and kindly into his own.
The Apple Orchard carriage, containing the solemn Miss Lavinia, very soon arrived at the abode of old Scowley, as our friend Verty was accustomed to call the respectable preceptress of Miss Redbud; and Miss Lavinia descended and entered with solemn dignity. Miss Sallianna and herself exchanged elaborate curtseys, and Miss Lavinia sailed into the pleasant sylvan parlor and took her seat reverely.
With which exhausting display of erudition, Miss Fanny lay back on her trellised seat, and shook from the point of her slippers to the curls on her forehead with a rush of laughter. Redbud had recovered from her momentary confusion, and, with a beseeching glance at Fanny, said to Verty: "How much better you look, Verty, in this dress indeed you look more homelike."
