Arlington might have said, "My blood speaks to you in my veins," but he could not consistently quote Bassanio's other words, "Madam, you have bereft me of all speech." From the presence of Evaleen he received access of eloquence; the two were conscious of a silent interchange of sentiments more meaningful than any spoken word.
He showed a decided interest in you that day on the island. To my eye it looked very like love at first sight; and I cannot help believing that his sole errand in Marietta is to see you again." Evaleen, reddening, plucked leaflets from the honeysuckle which covered the porch. "What am I to Mr. Arlington?" "Perhaps more than he is to you. I wish he could have met Captain Danvers."
Gals will fool their daddies." Away went Byle, about everybody's business, and home hastened George Hale, not so much to tell Evaleen what he had heard concerning herself, as to learn from her the solution of the mystery of Arlington, Danvers and "the summit."
Then came silence, and they knew the ark was adrift, bearing away two passengers whom they could not easily forget, but expected never to meet again. "How delightful he is!" mused the madam, speaking more to herself than to her friend. "Do you think so?" returned Evaleen abstractedly. "Perfectly captivating! A brilliant mind! I am charmed with him, are not you?"
He saved your life, Harman, and he loves you, I am sure." "Mamma, he loves you, but he don't love papa." The mother blushed, and a big tear rolled down her cheek. George Hale, yielding to the importuning letters of his brother Richard, consented that Evaleen should risk the peril of a voyage to New Orleans.

Evaleen cooed, making mother eyes at her baby. "The world must have seemed a blank to Burr after Theodosia was drowned." "Was she drowned?" questioned Arlington.
"He is pleasant enough, but too bold, too audacious, isn't he?" "Not, I think, Evaleen, for a person of his age. We expect more freedom in elderly men." "Elderly! Why, he can't be more than twenty-five! "Twenty-five! My dear child, he has a married daughter!" "Oh, you are speaking of Colonel Burr! I hate him." "Behold this Ohio city of the Gauls.
"If I could point out the nasty thing, I wouldn't dread it; a sleeping sawyer does its sawing under the surface. We are liable to run on to the point of one any second." "Mercy! Do you think we are coming on a sleeping sawyer now?" asked Evaleen. The captain hoped not, and directed attention to another phenomenon not of a nature to induce feelings of security.

Before I knew what I was about I shook hands, last May was a year ago, with I vow I'm ashamed to tell you who with. Are you going home, Mr. Hale? Is Miss Evaleen in town now?
Constantly he tried not to lose sight of his daughter and of Evaleen, and he felt sure he had seen the girls going ashore in a skiff, rowed by two men.
