Anything that obliges Miss Vesty counts with Virgie." "If you are a free man," Virgie herself exclaimed, her slight, nervous, willowy figure expanding, "are you afraid to go into a freer state than Maryland? If I was free I would want to go to the freest state of all. Behave like a free man, Samson Hat, or what is freedom worth to you?"
But my master is in debt to Meshach Milburn, an' he's married Miss Vesty, an' we think we're all gwyn to be sold or made to live with that man that wears the bad man's hat. Says I: 'Roxy, darling, maybe I kin buy you. 'Oh, I wish you was my master, Roxy said.
Vesty laughed and shook her head at me, but I had the broom and was hobbling about at work with it, pleased to find that Uncle Benny had rather neglected this humble office for the more important one of minding the baby. He next set me to washing the dishes and turning the churn; he would not trust me with the child, and wisely.
His wide eyes were on Vesty, and shot appealing mirth at her. She never once glanced at him, her full young breast heaving. "Can't some of the brothers fix this scuttle over my head?" said Elder Birds'll nervously, addressing the group of true and tried seamen, anchored cosily to south'ard. One, Elder Cossey, arose, a Tartar, not much beloved, but prominent in these matters.
"Wal, neow," said Captain Leezur, my chiefest admirer, "ef you ain't a case to describe anything in natur'! Ef I had you areound I shouldn't never want no dagarrier of a sick chicken, for you'd call 'em right up afore me!" I murmured my low thanks, blushing as usual under flattery. Vesty was talking brilliantly with some of the company, quite away from me.
Some time, Vesty I am speaking of what must be some time, dearest; and remember, it is often done in the world, among those who are highest and richest and socially recognized well, it is a familiar thing: as soon as it can be well arranged and that soon, now my wife and I shall be divorced. We have both wished it, we are unhappy together, it is a wrong for us to live together.
"And you," he said, trying to turn to me, lovingly, faintly, "you are one of them. I will bring you home. Sing, Vesty; sing 'Sail away " "'As Christ went down the Lonesome Road'" Vesty's voice broke. "Sing, little one," said Uncle Benny, covering his glad secrets again with a sort of heavenly duplicity; "it 's all right sing." "'He left the crown and He took the cross Sail away to Galilee!
Now Vesty, even as stiddy as she is, she 's all'as gittin' the women folks crazy over some new patron for a apern, or some new resute for pudd'n' and pie. So," he added, "ef you sh'd come to me, intendin' to splice, all the advice 't I c'd give 'ud be, I don't know widders; poo! poo! hohum! Wal, wal try widders."
While we were looking off he had been hauling it down the steep bank by the cottage. Now when we saw him Vesty ran to him and put the child in his arms and clung to him. I saw a great light come over his face. "Gurd," said his father sternly, the old stained hand still stroking his white face, "ye have strength and skill above the most but look at yon! Put up your boat, lad; it's no use.
"Mine is thine if thou needest it," was ever the Basin code: "even my life!" Before such a spirit the admission of worldly wealth and rank were tawdry. And do I never blush for Vesty in her new position? Ay, a thousand times, for pride and joy! Her manners are from a high source indeed; you will not find me any that are higher.
