I had then never seen Alcibiades; but when I met him to-night, I immediately recognized the stranger who spoke so rudely in the olive-grove." "You must forgive me," said Eudora, "if I am not much disposed to blame mortal man for wishing to look upon your face a second time. Even Plato does homage to woman's beauty." "True, Eudora; but there is reverence mingled with his homage.
Him that's allus talkin' about lovin' our neighbours as ourselves, standin' a-tween us an' our natral rights. I hev often told Eudora, heven't I, dear? that we need a better place than this. Now, that Frenelle homestead is jist what we want, an' it seemed as if the Lord intended we should hev it, too. It is so included from all pryin' eyes, an' away from them country people who are so uncongenial.
I could reason calmly; but my conclusions had reference only to my own gratification and my own happiness. I regarded Eudora as mine, my property, literally belonging to me. I was forty, she not fifteen. Yet what was I to do with her? Recommend her to the care of my mother, who was still alive? Certainly not; she would then be lost to me.
As she spoke, she hastily withdrew her eyes from an immodest picture, on which they had accidentally rested; and, blushing deeply, she added, "But there is something so life-like in that slumbering marble, that for a moment I almost feared Eudora would waken it." "You will not look upon the picture," rejoined Aspasia; "yet it relates a story of one of the gods you reverence so highly.

King sent a little note containing the doctor's verdict, but Mrs. Manning was indignant rather than alarmed. It was lonesome when they were all gone. Eudora Chapman went to a "finishing school" this autumn, and Doris accompanied her poor Doris, who had not mastered fractions, and whose written arithmetic could not compare with Betty's.
She might very naturally have spoken of her slave's carelessness, without meaning to remind you of bondage." "She did mean it," replied Eudora, with angry emphasis. "She is always describing her pompous sacrifices to Demeter; because she knows I am excluded from the temple. I hope I shall live to see her proud heart humbled."
A log-house in a palmetto clearing, with a foolish old grandmother who did not know enough to ask or care what I was to Eudora. I could not endure it, and I told Eudora how impossible it was for me to take her North until she had some education and knowledge of the world.
Girls in white gowns trooped up the path, young men in the height of fashion carried fans and nosegays for them; there was laughing and chattering and floating back and forth to the dressing rooms. Madam Royall came with Miss Alice and Helen, who was allowed to go out occasionally under her wing. Eudora had been permitted just to look on a while and to return with grandmamma.
The boy did take the babe, and with a deep resolve in his heart, that his duty to these helpless ones should be his first thought on earth. He did not speak it, but his father saw the steadfast wistful gaze, and it was enough. Alda ventured to ask, 'Is Eudora a gift too, Papa? 'Yes. A happy gift. For so she is! Let her be a little Epiphany Star to you all!
