In the edge of the evening, a boat was heard coming along, and George Shelby handed Cassy aboard, with the politeness which comes naturally to every Kentuckian, and exerted himself to provide her with a good state-room.
This is a very important matter. It is a shame that romance should have passed with the post-chaise. Why should it not revisit us in the motor?" Cassy sipped and considered it. "There ought to be a law on the subject." "There is one. You may be summoned for speeding and get your name in the papers." "Then the dignity of danger remains." "But not in clams. Aren't you going to eat any?"
If it had not been for me, the policeman would have marched you off to prison." Cassy laughed. "The dear man! He knew I would be worse off with you." "Yes. He was certainly perspicacious. Where did you say you were going?" Cassy removed her gloves. "Before I was attacked? To a music-shop. There is a song I want to get for Mrs. Thingumagig's, Mrs. Beamish " "Mrs. Who?" Paliser asked.
"I've owed Cassy this for a good many years, dad," said Black Andy, "and it had to be paid. She's got better stuff in her than any Baragar." An hour later the old man said to Cassy at the door of her room: "You got to stay here and git well. It's yours, the same as the rest of us what's here." Then he went down-stairs and sat with Aunt Kate by the fire.
"The Lord God hath sent his angel, and shut the lion's mouth, for this time," said Tom. "For this time, to be sure," said Cassy; "but now you've got his ill will upon you, to follow you day in, day out, hanging like a dog on your throat, sucking your blood, bleeding away your life, drop by drop. I know the man." Liberty
Tom opened, at once, to a heavily marked passage, much worn, of the last scenes in the life of Him by whose stripes we are healed. "If Missis would only be so good as read that ar', it's better than water." Cassy took the book, with a dry, proud air, and looked over the passage.
You got rights here, and it's comfortable, and there's plenty, and the air will cure your lung as it did before. It did all right before, didn't it?" She handed the bowl of boneset tea. "Take it; it'll do you good, Cassy," she added. Cassy said nothing in reply.
But now, near the heart of Manhattan, the train had stopped. Cassy got out, looked at her white gloves, wondered if they smelled of benzine, decided that they did, took them off and went on to the Splendor where Paliser was waiting. Other people appeared to be similarly occupied.
"If you do, I'll kill you!" said Cassy, drawing a small, glittering stiletto, and flashing it before the eyes of the girl. The diversion accomplished the purpose. Emmeline did not faint, and succeeded in plunging, with Cassy, into a part of the labyrinth of swamp, so deep and dark that it was perfectly hopeless for Legree to think of following them, without assistance.
"I heard you moving about, and I've brought you something hot to drink," she said. "That's real good of you, Aunt Kate," was the cheerful reply. "But it's near supper-time, and I don't need it." "It's boneset tea for your cold," answered Aunt Kate gently, and put it on the high dressing-table made of a wooden box and covered with muslin. "For your cold, Cassy," she repeated.
