"My father" a sob checked Virgie's utterance as she mentioned him, and realized how forlorn her condition would be if the horrible suspicions which were being sown in her mind should prove true "the clergyman who performed the ceremony, a woman who lived near us, and our own servant."
Farnum," she said, with a cold dignity that awed her visitor, "and you will find the note inclosed with it. Please be particular to have it returned to the one who sent it." "But, my dear, will you not need it yourself?" interrupted the woman with assumed kindness. Virgie's lips curled. "It was an unpardonable insult to offer it to me," she said, with spirit.
Just then the young Irishman with the carbine turned around and caught the wan look on Virgie's face and the hunger appeal in her big dark eyes. At once a broad smile broke over his freckled countenance and he gestured hospitably with his gun. "Have somethin' to eat, little wan." Cary's knee loosened. The jagged stone fell to the ground. "Thank you, old fellow," he cried, springing to his feet.
Farnum obeyed Virgie's request with some misgivings; but she saw at once upon entering the room that the young wife believed the very worst, and she was half frightened at the result of her work. Virgie arose as she entered, her baby clasped close in her arms, and handed her the letter which she had sent her to read. "Here is your letter, Mrs.
But, as Virgie's baby grew older and capable of amusing herself somewhat, time began to hang heavily on the young mother's hands. Her sorrow was one that could not be easily out-grown and sometimes life seemed a burden almost too heavy to be borne.
When you lived at home and afterwards in your cabin did your father come to see you often?" Virgie's sunny head nodded in emphatic asseveration. "Yes, sir. Often." "How often?" asked the bearded man. Virgie's fingers twisted themselves deep in her dress. "I I don't know, sir. But heaps of times." "Good again," and the questioner actually smiled.
Then the General turned his back again and began to rummage on his desk. The incident was closed. But there was a rush of bare, childish feet sand before he could escape Virgie's brown little arms were round him and her dimpled chin was pressed against his waist.
"Mine before God. Pure to my heart as your white sister, Vesta! White as young love, in fondness and trust forever!" "And mother?" gurgled the girl's low notes; "where is she?" "Yonder," said the Judge, "in Heaven, that will judge me, whither she winged in bearing thee to me!" A happy light came over Virgie's face.
He came in a strong mountain wagon drawn by a pair of handsome horses, and with him there was a large trunk which Sir William ordered carried up stairs into Virgie's room and two or three hampers, that were given to Chi Lu to be taken care of. Virgie turned a wondering, inquiring look upon her lover at these proceedings, but he only answered by a quiet smile, and then introduced her to the Rev.
Consideration for her nephew and niece had nothing to do with Mrs. Conly's plans and arrangements. If, as she greatly feared, Virginia were living in other than aristocratic style, she would not for the world have it known among the relatives who had heard her boasts in regard to Virgie's grand match; "so much better than Isa had been led into while under the care of her grandfather and uncle."
