We were in right Basin fashion now, only by needs it was Vesty's arm that was about me. "Am I dead, Vesty?" said I, half believing it in my bliss; besides, I had ever a great appreciation of the Irish humor. "Oh, don't, major; don't!" said Vesty; "you saved me from getting terribly hurt, they say or " "Ugh!" I groaned. "Your poor arm!" said she. "Oh, the pain!" "Nothing pains me," said I.
"If you did not, there 's such a feeling toward him, different from the others, I can't tell; if you did not, and I should ever know, it would be like I had some little child of my own yes, like I had some poor little baby of my own, crying for me, and I did not come I did not come!" Vesty turned. The tide had run so high those wild ocean guards were covered by the surge.
Keeping faithful watch of the clock, Uncle Benny at the appointed hour had given up the baby to Vesty, to go and bring the children home from school. We heard him in the distance still singing joyfully his "Sail away to Galilee!" "There is a faithful artist," I said, and smiled; "would God I had come up to him, with his unceasing watch over the little ones!
Garrison was strangely assured in her own heart that Vesty Kirtland would never tell the son of his mother's visit to her. She did not mean that Grace Langham should ever know the full cause that had unsettled him. "We must be very tender with him, keep near to him," she said, "or, when he recovers, he may do himself harm, with remorse, and the fear of losing your love, Grace."
She held the thin, frayed shawl at her neck, the rosy child wrapped as usual on her arm: "there is always some one wanting me to help, and little Gurd is not so much care now but I can get along with it." "You go out as general drudge or charwoman!" I felt my nostrils quiver and a bitter harshness in my voice. Vesty looked at me with surprise.
"If you want to fight, Fluke, come out and fight." "All the same," said he, "ef you sh'd happen to change your mind by 'n' by, as fash'nable fellers in women's light-colored clo's does sometimes, there 's a-goin' to be shutin'." "Come," he said, "you know me! you know me! Confound the pretty clothes! I only put them on so as to try and have Vesty like me!" "Wal' now, Vesty, make your choice.
"You are cute at guessin', major," said Miss Pray admiringly; but I saw that she held me deficient in the classical prearrangement of words, and that the game had lost interest to her on that account. So we laid it by. When Vesty rose to go home, "I will go with you," I said, wrapping my sad little presence in an overcoat. Miss Pray looked as she had when she asked me if I was rebellious.
He suddenly flung himself from his vortex of song upon the bed of the sick man, with a twitching hop and rapid opening and shutting of the tail, like the fan of a disturbed beauty, and thence perched upon Milburn's peaked hat, and with a convulsive struggle of his throat and body, as if he were in superhuman labor, brought out, distinct as man could speak, the words, "'Sband! 'sband! Vesty! Vesty!
"This mornin' she came to the door with her eyes jest wiped from a-cryin'. Says I, 'Roxy, little dear, what ails you? 'Oh, nothin', says she, 'I can't tell you if thair is. 'Here's your wild flowers for Miss Vesty, says I, 'beautiful to see! 'Oh, says Roxy, 'Miss Vesty won't need 'em now. Says I: 'Roxy, air you goin' to have all that trouble on your mind an' not let me carry some of it? 'Oh, my friend, she says, 'I must tell you, fur you have been so kind to me: don't whisper it!
"Vesty," said Elder Skates, "when can you haul over the organ and swipe her out? She 's full o' chalk." "I'll try and do it to-morrow." Vesty looked at Elder Skates and smiled, showing her wholesome white teeth. "Vesty," said Mrs. Nason Teel; "I want ye to set right down here, now I've got ye, and give me that resute for Mounting Dew pudding."
