He looked at her from above his spectacles; she was holding a watch in her hand which she had just taken up off the counter. 'What's amiss wi' thee now? said Darley. 'Hast ta niver seen a watch o' that mak' afore? or is it them letters on t' back, as is so wonderful? Yes, it was those letters that interlaced, old-fashioned cipher.
To return to the party we left standing on the high-raised footway that ran alongside of the bridle-road to Haytersbank. Sylvia had leisure in her heart to think 'how good Hester is for sitting with the poor bed-ridden sister of Darley! without having a pang of self-depreciation in the comparison of her own conduct with that she was capable of so fully appreciating.
He felt a strong impulse to see Helen Darley and talk with her. She was in the common parlor, and, fortunately, alone. "Helen," he said, for they were almost like brother and sister now, "I have been thinking what you would do, if I should have to leave the school at short notice, or be taken away suddenly by any accident."
But until all these high and mighty things happen, until we come into our property, we must make the best of matters. I know a clever Broadway publisher, who, if I were able to meet the expenses, would bring out my minor poems in all the pomp of cream-laid paper, and with all the circumstance of velvet binding, with illustrations by Darley, and with favorable notices in all the newspapers.
Please speak." "Yes, yes," whispered Mark, and he stepped forward quickly with outstretching hands, which came in contact with one as cold as ice. "Oh!" gasped its owner, as another hand felt for him and clung to him. "I know your voice, Mark Eden. I am Minnie Darley: pray, pray come and help my father; he is too weak to come back to you." The voice trailed off into a wail. "Hush!
The company rearranged itself with some changes after leaving the tea-table. Dudley Veneer was very polite to the Widow; but that lady having been called off for a few moments for some domestic arrangement, he slid back to the side of Helen Darley, his daughter's faithful teacher. Elsie had got away by herself, and was taken up in studying the stereoscopic Laocoon.
She had told the gardener to send on all the flowers that could possibly be cut, so that there were four great hampers full; but owing to some mistake Darley, the florist, who always comes to decorate the rooms, did not appear. We telephoned, and the men flew about, but he could not be found, and mamma was fairly pale with anxiety, as Mrs.
One of the women of the house came in to help to take care of her; but she showed an aversion to her presence. "Send me Helen Darley," she said at last. The old Doctor told them, that, if possible, they must indulge this fancy of hers. The caprices of sick people were never to be despised, least of all of such persons as Elsie, when rendered irritable and exacting by pain and weakness.
"I'll offer to sell Darley a window shade cheap tomorrow and see how he bites," and the little Jewish merchant smiled shrewdly at the thought. Out on the trail that day the snow lay deeper to the westward, hiding the wagon ruts. The dead sunflower stalks made only a faint black edging along the white monotony of the way and sometimes on bleak swells there were no markings at all.
The form and motion of waves, the passing of distant ships, the outlines of spars and cordage against the sky, the blue above and the blue below, all the scenery of the sea, here for the first time found an appreciative artist. We have not space to mention these novels separately. We are glad to see an edition which is worthy of the author's genius, each volume graced with the designs of Darley.
