Two of Vincent's men were in this lazar, shut off from the world, for the soldier, reckless in battle, has a shuddering horror of this loathsome disease. Rosa instantly resolved that she would herself nurse the plague-smitten rebels. She had no fear of the disease, the truth being that she had only the vaguest idea of what it was.
Delivered from the fiend who has tormented her for so long a time, and restored to her native country and to the bosom of her family, we will hope that Lady Vincent's youth will enable her to rally from the depressing influences of these early troubles, and that she will yet regain her peace and cheerfulness." "Heaven grant it, Heaven grant it!" said the judge fervently.
He, however, brought a bundle of rushes into the kitchen, and when it became dark threw himself down upon them for a few hours' sleep, Lucy and her old nurse taking their place in Vincent's room, and promising to rouse Dan at twelve o'clock.
Can it be possible that the family have known this since last summer, and she alone has been shut out? "We Americans are in the habit of choosing our own husbands," she begins, after a pause. "Yet you see how admirably this would have worked. The business was left to Eugene, and if he had accepted Mr. St. Vincent's daughter he would have had another share, and the right to control the patent.
The confession which she made to him of her former attachment to Clarence Hervey, as it raised in Vincent's mind strong emotions of jealousy, increased his passion as much as it piqued his pride; and she appeared in a new and highly interesting light when he discovered that the coldness of manner which he had attributed to want of sensibility arose probably from its excess that her heart should have been preoccupied was more tolerable to him than the belief of her settled indifference.
Vincent's closing eyes. The bell tells off midnight. The strokes sound slower and more august than by busy daylight. If ever the ghost of the dead returned No ghost comes, however. He may as well throw himself down here and sleep, as to tramp to the park. No one will miss him. He says that bitterly. Even Cecil is weaned from him. He is no longer her first thought.
So high were his ideals of what the priestly life should be that in his saintly old age he would often say that, were he not already a priest, he would never dare to become one. Vincent's old friend and patron, M. de Commet, was eager to do a good turn to the young cleric.
"I know they have some business schemes together, Madame has often told me so," went on the girl. "But while I was away at Keswick I purposely got into conversation with an old gentleman named Lloyd at Madame's suggestion, as she told me our acquaintanceship would be useful to some business scheme of Vincent's. It appears that he wanted to become acquainted with Mr. Lloyd."
Johnson, after a considerable amount of bargaining with Vincent's guide, agreed to take twenty dollars for the boat, and upon receiving the money sent down one of her boys with her to show her where it was hidden.
He felt guilty in her sweet, innocent presence. Had he but loved her, he would have found no pleasure whatever in Iris Vincent's dangerous coquetries. He would not have encouraged her by smile, word, or deed. A wave of pity swept over his heart for Dorothy as he looked down into the pure, uplifted face.
