The story was read, and then came the various comments. "Oh, it was dreadful," said one. "Mr. Loraine belongs to one of the first families in the town; and what a cut it will be to them, not simply that he has been murdered, but murdered where he was in the house of Lizzie Wilson. I knew her before she left husband and took to evil courses."
He looked up eagerly, but it was evident from the disappointed look on his face that Laura Ann was the wrong girl. And he did not know the right one's name! "Good-morning!" nodded Laura Ann, sublimely unconscious of the soot-patch over her nose. "Good-morning. I'd like to see I've brought something for the one that teaches school." "Loraine? But she isn't up yet "
He not only employed in the East a force more than sufficient to have defended Piedmont and reconquered Loraine; but he seemed to think that England and Holland were bound to reward him largely for neglecting their interests and pursuing his own. Spain already was what she continued to be down to our own time.
Noble ladies smiled upon him in the park, to which they now repaired with timorous hearts; counts and barons slapped him on the back and doughty guardsmen actually saluted him with admiration in their eyes. But he was not satisfied. Loraine had not come forward with a word of greeting or relief; in fact, she had not appeared outside the Castle doors.
Echoes were sounding along a length of hallway and she was not desirous of the prospect of seeing Mrs. Mosby Aunt Loraine who was apt to prove a most discordant fly in the ointment of harmonious hospitality. So she turned to go, but turned too late.
They might be close by, creeping up on hands and knees among the grass, or along the bank of the river so as to attack the fort at the real as well as in front. He prepared for both contingencies, posting careful men at every assailable point. The minutes went slowly by. He greatly missed his sons, and Loraine, who would have been of essential service in watching the more dangerous points.
"Yes, yes, massa; an' I promise to try and get to de fort, and to take de doctor to Missie Loraine," answered the faithful Black, in a melancholy tone, showing that though ready to follow out my injunctions, he grieved at the thoughts of being separated from me, when perhaps I might be caught and killed by the Indians. "But, Massa Mike, we try and keep togedder, won't we?" he added.
The prairie which Loraine and his companions were traversing was almost treeless; but not many years before it had been covered with a pine forest, destroyed by one of the ruthless prairie fires which so often sweep over the north-west territory.
On the other hand, she knew too well the drear loneliness that would close upon her in Vancouver when the Marshes left. "Of course you'll come! We won't hear of leaving you behind. So you can consider that settled." Loraine Marsh declared at last. "We're going day after to-morrow. So is Mr. Barrow."
"You see, I'm a stranger in a strange land. That accounts for my ignorance." "You must not speak while she is gazing into the crystal," she warned, after a quick, searching glance at his face. He could have sworn that he saw a gleam of concern in her eyes, followed instantly by a twinkle that meant mischief. "Please consider my plight," he implored. "I can't call you Aunt Loraine, you know."
