She didn't have no kinfolks to go in mo'nin' for her, an' time Pompey an' me got ingaged he made known his wushes to me, an' I promised him I'd put on mo'nin' for her soon as I married into de family. Co'se I couldn't do it 'fo' I was kin to her." "Kin to her!" the mistress laughed. "Why, Tamar, what relation on earth are you to Pompey's former wife, I'd like to know?"
'Anything, no matter what a ghost or a murder. Old Tamar shook her head. 'Or an elopement? Another shake of the head. 'Or a mystery or even a dream? 'Well a dream! Sometimes I do dream. I dreamed how Master Stanley was coming, the night before. 'You did, did you? Selfish old thing! and you meant to keep it all to yourself. What was it?
The answer from within did not reach Tamar's ears, at least, she heard only an indistinct murmur, but the voice without again came clear to her, and the words were to this effect, "I will not fail; I will take care that he shall be in no condition to return;" the answer was again lost to Tamar, and probably some question, but the reply to this question was clear.
She has too much already to trouble her, though of quite another sort. Good-night, foolish old Tamar. 'Oh, Master Stanley, it will take a deal to shake my mind; and if it be so, as I say, what's to be done next what's to be done oh, what is to be done? 'I say good-night, old Tamar; and hold your tongue, do you see?
He started in a fret to be home, but this impatience declined by the way, and by the time we crossed Tamar had sunk to a lethargy. For the next three or four months he went listless as a man dragging a wounded limb.
The cause of this hatred will be seen in the sequel; but Jacob had no sooner turned the bridge and fixed it against the opposite bank, than Tamar springing from behind a cluster of bushes, jumped lightly on the boards, and the next moment she was with Dymock and Jacob on the inner side of the moat, under the tower.
The earl visited the ships lying in the mouth of the Tamar, and three times started in a boat to go out to those in the Sound; but the sea was so rough, and he was so completely prostrated by sickness, that he had each time to put back. What he saw, however, on board the ships he visited, and heard from Lord Howard as to the state of those at sea, was quite sufficient.
He put the pledges in a place in which Tamar could not fail to see them, and she took them, and threw them before the feet of the judges, with the words: "By the man whose these are am I with child, but though I perish in the flames, I will not betray him. I hope in the Lord of the world, that He will turn the heart of the man, so that he will make confession thereof."
I paid the price and took her to my dwelling. "Her name was Tamar. She was a daughter of Lebanon. I robed her in silk and broidered linen. I nourished her with tender care so that beauty came upon her like the blossoming of an almond tree; she was a garden enclosed, breathing spices.
She anchored and weighed many times, and beat many days against the current, with now and then a "slant" for a few miles, till finally she gained anchorage and shelter for the night at Port Tamar, with Cape Pillar in sight to the west. Here I felt the throb of the great ocean that lay before me. I knew now that I had put a world behind me, and that I was opening out another world ahead.
