He had won fame in more than one line, and hosts of appreciative readers. Hanny could hardly realise it all, as she thought of the still handsome though rather delicate man, past middle life, gracious and dignified and kindly, sitting on his own porch at Sunnyside. She couldn't help going back to her first love, the old "Knickerbocker History" that seemed so real to her, even now.
After 'Phelia comes back she's going to have a wedding-party and wear her real wedding-dress." Nora thought the doll beautiful. Hanny just lifted it out of the box and put it back. It seemed almost too sacred to touch. Jim went out presently to get some Christmas cake.
The sun had dropped down behind the Orange Mountain, though the whole west was alive with changeful gold and scarlet, melting to fainter tints, changing to indescribable hues and visionary islands floating in seas of amber and chrysoprase. Hanny was quite tired, and leaned her head on Joe's shoulder. Ben and Delia were in front, and Mr. Whitney in the seat behind.
Woolf that she had to tell Joe all the story when she came home; and he said they must go up the historic Harlem some day. And he said Umscoota meant "Stream among the green sedge." This year it had to be Rutger's Institute for Hanny. There were a great many new schools; but Dolly and Margaret carried the day.
"Oh, Hanny!" "Oh, Daisy!" That was all they said for a moment or two. They cried a little, as people often do, out of pure gladness, and just hugged each other tighter. "I was so afraid I never should see you again. Papa laughed. You know he has crossed the ocean so many times. If I hadn't been coming home, I suppose I shouldn't have been worried.
Some day, Miss Peggy, when you's waded tru seas o' trubble an' come out on de good Lord's side an' made your callin' an' 'lection sure, you'll know more 'bout it I done reckon." "Come with me, do, Hanny," pleaded Jim. "You can walk along the stone fence and pick the high ones and we'll fill the kittle in no time."
Still, I may have a little leisure when I return. What a gay scene." Hanny sat fanning herself, and feeling that her cheeks were scarlet. If it only wouldn't culminate in her nose! Then Mr. Jasper turned and introduced his young friend. Hanny moved a little, so he could sit between her and Mrs. Jasper, a very attractive young man, a Mr. Andersen. "Miss Underhill," he repeated, as Mr.

Oh, yes, this was their room; they were all alive, for she heard Jim's breezy voice, and Joe, who had stayed all night, said impatiently: "Peggy, are you never coming down?" Hanny sprang out of bed and clasped her little arms about her sister. "Oh!" with a great exultation in her sweet child's voice "the world didn't come to an end, did it?
Others hailed the step as a great advancement in the rights of the people, and thought it prefigured that Europe would be republican rather than Cossack, recalling the elder Emperor's prediction. And Hanny learned that this young man, who was before long to be Emperor of the French, had lived in New York, as well as Louis Philippe.
Now his life bid fair to be almost as eventful as his uncle's; and, like him, he was doomed to die an exile on English soil. Joe and Hanny took their dinner in the old place, though now the Delmonicos were fitting up a hotel at the lower end of Broadway which was destined to become quite as famous, and to house many notable people.
