But as I am not a composer I shall put you between the sheets of a novel I mean. Fiction has its consolations." But now, leaving the cañon, they entered a cavern which a tunnel fluted. There Cassy looked up at the inkbeast. "How is Mr. Lennox? Do you see him?" "I find it very difficult not to. Unattached people are sticky as flies. When Lennox was engaged, he was invisible.
And Cassy, garish, gay, freckled, witty, and whimsical, had never forgotten those days when her mother prayed and worked her heart out to do her duty by her children.
There's no difference to me 'twixt making your feet handy and clever and full of music, and playing with your fingers on the piano or on a melodeon at a meeting. As for singing, it's God's gift; and many a time I wisht I had it. I'd have sung the blackness out of your face and heart, Andy." She leaned back again and began to knit very fast. "I'd like to hear Cassy sing, and see her dance, too."
She is an extraordinary girl; independent of kith and kin, and everything else. I assure you, Miss Cassy, she is very good." "Does she ever ask for me?" "I never heard her mention your name but once. She asked one day what your teachers were. You do not love each other, I suppose. What hatred there is between near relations!
I said you would have to marry me to pay for it. Will you?" Cassy lowered the napkin. He was talking in jest she knew, or thought she knew, but the subject was not to her taste, though if he had been serious she would have disliked it still more.
There was no mistaking that. But was she good enough? Was any girl good enough for him? And who was that with her? Probably her mother who probably too was the catamount's sister. They had a family likeness. Then at once the scene shifted. Cassy was in a room floored with thick rugs, hung with heavy draperies, and in that room the catamount had hired her to sing! But the disgust of it passed.
Would you have us starve in the swamps, or have that that will pay our way to the free states. Money will do anything, girl." And, as she spoke, she put the money in her bosom. "It would be stealing," said Emmeline, in a distressed whisper. "Stealing!" said Cassy, with a scornful laugh. "They who steal body and soul needn't talk to us.
It was between one and two o'clock at night, as Cassy was returning from her ministrations to poor Tom, that she heard the sound of wild shrieking, whooping, halloing, and singing, from the sitting-room, mingled with the barking of dogs, and other symptoms of general uproar. She came up on the verandah steps, and looked in.
The growl sharpened into a snarl. "Paliser! I don't like the breed. By God, if " The peradventure of that Cassy got before he could utter it. Paliser! Of all men! The absurdity convulsed her. Her laughter ran up and down the scale. "You're the dearest old duck of a goose I ever heard of." She turned. Her wrap swished. "I only wish you were going too."
The old man stopped, for there came to them now, clearly, the sound of sleigh-bells. They all stood still for an instant, silent and attentive, then Aunt Kate moved toward the door. "Cassy's come," she said. "Cassy and George's boy've come."
