Ever since you came back I have felt that if I could do you any good I would cut off my right hand to serve you. At last I see a way. If you wish it, Floyd, the dearest wish of your heart may come to pass." "The dearest wish of my heart?" I stuttered. "I don't know what you mean." He laughed quietly. "I suspect you know all about it," he said.
'Husband, countrymen, riches, all gone from you: what remains? She answers, 'Medea remains." It had become evident to me, without interrogations on my part, that my mother and Mr. Floyd had resigned at least all present hopes of marriage. All their thoughts seemed to be centred in me, and I felt myself a hinderance in their plans of happiness.
Only, Floyd, don't bring up a fellow with too sharp a turn." Floyd sighs. He will not have much help in his task, he can plainly foresee. There remains Mr. St. Vincent. "Eugene," and there is a touch of deep feeling in his tone, "I want us to work together harmoniously. Remember that I have nothing to gain in all this. Whatever I do must be for your benefit and that of the family.
Floyd, more enterprising in plans than resolute or skilful in carrying them out, had obtained Lee's consent to make an attempt to render our position untenable by operations on the opposite side of New River.
Laura was compelled to have such a quiet wedding, and it was really shameful to make so much use of madame and offer her so little in return. "I really don't know what to do about the rooms," says Mrs. Grandon. "It was absurd in Floyd to take that elegant spare chamber when he had two rooms of his own and all the tower; and if one should say a word, my lady would be in high dudgeon, no doubt."
If Floyd ever thought that she treated him badly, no one ever knew it, and when finally she left her husband, no one ever ventured to discuss it before Floyd. Henry Floyd, however, had suffered, that everyone could see who had eyes; but only he knew how much.
"Part 'em, men; what are you about?" cried Mrs. Floyd. "Yes, part 'em," laughed a man on the edge of the crowd; "somebody 'll get his beauty spiled; Toot kin claw like a pant'er; I don't know what t'other man kin do, but he looks game."
Later in the day Ann received a telegram from her brother in which she learned that he had missed the governor, who was on his way to Tarrytown. Horace said, also, that he himself was starting for Ithaca by way of Auburn. Ann sat down beside Floyd and read the message to him. "Did he say," asked the boy, "that the governor was comin' here to Tarrytown?" "Yes."
He did nothing that evening or night, and his disposal of his troops was so improper and outpost duty so completely neglected that on the morning of the 26th, whilst his regiment was at breakfast, it was attacked by Floyd on both flanks at once, and was routed before it could be formed for action.
Wilmarth have been to Canada for a week, and return in time to be invited to the garden party, which Floyd honestly regrets. True, no business plans have been agreed upon; when Mr. Haviland comes back, if a formal offer can be made, it will be time to explain. Eugene and Miss Murray have made the garden party as perfect as zest and large opportunity could avail.
