They speak a wonderful language, and some of them are too fond of fire-water; but their braves fear nothing, and their squaws are pretty and work hard almost as hard as our squaws though they are not quite as good-looking as ours. They are too white their faces are like buffalo fat!" A "Waugh," which might be translated "Hear, hear," greeted this statement of opinion.
Jacquelina was quivering between fun and fear vague, unaccountable fear, that hung over her like a cloud, darkening her bright frolic spirit with a woeful presentiment. After dinner Marian asked for the carriage, and Mrs. Waugh gave orders that it should be brought around for her use. Jacquelina prepared to accompany Marian home, and in an hour they were ready, and set forth.
Of the dwellers about the Perdu none was more saturated with the magic of the place than Reuben Waugh, a boy of thirteen. Reuben lived in a small, yellow-ochre-colored cottage, on the hill behind the barn with the red doors.
Then I was puzzled, for I found that they did not all think alike, as we do, and that some have good hearts as well as good heads. Others have the heads without the hearts, and some have the hearts without the heads Waugh!" "Waugh!" repeated the listening braves, to fill up the pause here, as it were, with a note of approval.
Surely this is a "fine derangement of epitaphs." It suggests that Mr. Waugh is less malignant than foolish. What connection does he discover between Secularism and selfishness? Is it in our principles, in our objects, or in our policy? Does he really imagine that the true character of any body of men and women is likely to be written out by a hostile partisan?
"What do you propose to do with her?" "I shall leave her to Aunt Henrietta she will never let the child want." "But Mrs. Waugh is quite an old lady now. Jacquelina is insane, the commodore and Mrs. L'Oiseau scarcely competent to take care of themselves and Luckenough a sad, unpromising home for a little girl." "I know it oh! I know it; why do you speak of it, since I can do no otherwise?"
She would have preferred to have the orphan girl with herself, but Commodore Waugh would not even hear of Miriam's coming to Luckenough with any patience "For if her mother had married 'Grim, none of these misfortunes would have happened," he said.
Already were his lips opening to speak for the first time, when the attention of the group around him was arrested by his giving a sudden start of surprise. At the same moment he raised his head, stretched his neck, threw forward his right ear, and, uttering a loud and emphatic "Waugh!" pointed with his finger over the bows of the vessel.
Waugh was forced to be content, and she took her leave, saying: "Remember, Hebe! that I think your society and conversation more needful, and likely to be more beneficial to poor Lapwing, than anything else we can procure for her; therefore, pray decide to go with us, if possible."
"Come," said I, vaulting into my saddle, "you and I will go and have a gallop, my friend, and see the land, for I mean to dwell here and would strongly advise you to do the same." "Waugh!" exclaimed the Indian, as he leaped on the back of his steed, and followed me.
