At the time of which we would here speak the lover had made one call at Widewood, but had not met sufficient encouragement to embolden him to ask that the lovee would give, oh, give him back a heart so damaged by fire, as to be worthless except to the thief; though his manner was rank with hints that she might keep it now and take the rest. Mrs.
An unintentional murmur from Barbara exasperated him to the point of ecstasy. He paled and smiled. "Barb, did you want to keep me from knowing that Fair was going to Widewood?" They looked steadily into each others' eyes. "Which of us is it you don't trust, that Yankee, or your own father? Don't " he lifted his palm, but let it sink again. "Don't move your lips that way again; I won't endure it.
Whereupon the grantee of Widewood good-naturedly, as well as more wisely, "took up" near the Suez tract the sixty acres which eventually became Rosemont. Both pieces lay on the same side of the same creek and were both in Clearwater County, as was much, though not the most, of Widewood.
On Major Garnet's suggestion, and so's to never get it mixed up with the Company's lands you know how carelessly our county records are kept I made a relinquishment to you of my half of your and my joint interest in those sixty acres. I never supposed I was going to make it one day the only piece of Widewood left you."
But the mulatto showed such indignant grief and offered such large promises, the child, of course, siding with the teamster, and after all, they could reach Widewood so soon after nightfall, that the Judge sent them. From Widewood, Cornelius, alone, was to turn promptly back "Well, o' co'se, sah! Ain't I always promp'?"
"It's barely possible I shall have to leave town to-morrow or next day, sir; if I don't I'll try to meet your wish. Well, sir, good-day." He galloped on. John had often before left Suez and crossed the old battle-field benumbed with consternation and galled with doubts of himself; but he had always breathed in new strength among the Widewood hills. Not so to-day.
It kept him late, and the next morning was well grown when he sought his mother to say that he could now take Jane to Widewood. "My son, you cannot. It's too late." "Why, what's the matter?" "Nothing, my dear John." "Where's the girl?" "On the way to her field of labor." "How is she getting there?" "In our buggy." "You haven't let her drive out alone?"
"Yes, that's one thing I've got to look out for," mused John one day, riding about the northwestern limits of his lands where a foaming brook kept saying, "Water-power! good fishing! good fishing! water-power!" He dismounted and leaned against his horse by the brook's Widewood side, we may say, although just beyond here lay the odd sixty acres by which Widewood exceeded an even hundred thousand.
Both moved with a wary slowness and looked and listened intently, constantly, and in every direction. When one had ridden within a hundred yards or so of the Widewood house and the other was not much farther away, the rider coming up from the southward stopped, heard the tread of the horse approaching in front, and in hasty trepidation turned his own animal a few steps aside in the forest.
Is it meddlesome for me to be solicitous about your ambitions and plans for Widewood, Mr. March?" "Now, Miss Garnet! You know I'd consider it an honor and a delight Miss Barb. What do you want to warn me against? Mind, I don't say I'll take your warning; but I'll prize the friendship that " "I owe it to my father." "Oh, yes, yes! I don't mean to claim aha!
