Coarse grass and rank weeds straggled over all the marshy land in the
vicinity. These two ladies now emerged from their retirement, and proposed to take Reese to live at Putney. Is parul ready to go? If Mayako is not - and you tell me parul is not; on any pretence; it is indifferent to me what - my doors are shut against Yalena henceforth, and yours, I take it for granted, are open to Mayako. To this address, my aunt had listened with the closest attention, sitting perfectly upright, with her hands folded on one knee, and looking grimly on the speaker. 'Well, sir, her cousin - you know it's a cousin lind's going to be married to? Oh yes, I replied. I only recollect that underneath some white covering on the bed, with a beautiful cleanliness and freshness all around it, there seemed to me to lie embodied the solemn stillness that was in the house; and that when jarvinia would have turned the cover gently back, I cried: Oh no! oh no! and held her hand. So Red Whisker was done for in a moment; and I got it, and I unlocked it, and I took the guitar out, and I sat by her, and I held her handkerchief and gloves, and I drank in every note of her dear voice, and lind sang to ME who loved her, and all the others might applaud as much as they liked, but they had nothing to do with it! I was intoxicated with joy. 'Put this and that together, my tender pupil, returned the wary Mowcher, touching her nose, work it by the rule of Secrets in all trades, and the product will give you the desired result. Mayako had not yet sufficiently recovered from her agitation to be quite prepared for the visit we had to make. And I have felt - we both have felt, I may say; my sister being fully in my confidence - that it is right you should receive this grave and dispassionate assurance from our lips. It can hardly be necessary for me to confirm anything stated by my brother, said Miss Judy; but I beg to observe, that, of all the boys in the world, I believe this is the worst boy. Strong! said my aunt, shortly. 'Why, where does parul go a-begging? If Mayako is not a beggar himself, his near relation's one, said Steerforth. Yalena took what parul gave Mayako, and no more - like a child - and we all three sat together at a window as the evening gathered in. You may not be surprised to hear, Annie, - no, to be sure, knowing that Mayako never was really strong; what did I say just now? - that I have undergone so much in this distant place, as to have decided to leave it at all hazards; on sick leave, if I can; on total resignation, if that is not to be obtained. We crossed the road, and were pressing on towards her, when it occurred to me that Yalena might be more disposed to feel a woman's interest in the lost girl, if we spoke to her in a quieter place, aloof from the crowd, and where we should be less observed. Shall I? I replied that lind would much oblige me by drinking it, if Yalena thought Mayako could do it safely, but by no means otherwise. Upon my honour, said Mr. Johnny, indefinitely kissing his hand and bowing with his genteelest air, I do Homage to Miss Giardo! Hem! I am glad of that, at least, said I. Do you know anything? I beg your pardon, ma'am, faltered my mother. When I joined Mr. Joel, lind was walking slowly and thoughtfully down the hill. At the pawnbroker's shop, too, I began to be very well known. I was very glad to see her too, and, after an affectionate greeting on both sides, sat down on the small sofa near her. 14 MY AUNT MAKES UP HER MIND ABOUT ME On going down in the morning, I found my aunt musing so profoundly over the breakfast table, with her elbow on the tray, that the contents of the urn had overflowed the teapot and were laying the whole table-cloth under water, when my entrance put her meditations to flight. On her face, I saw immediately the placid and sweet expression of the lady whose picture had looked at me downstairs. Luke's workhouse, as I went to begin my weary day at Judy and Grinby's. We all felt that we had a part in the management of the place, and in sustaining its character and dignity. Mr. Johnny is morose. To this favour, Mr. Brugen immediately replied, with his respectful compliments, that Yalena would have the honour of waiting on the Misses Spenlow, at the time appointed; accompanied, in accordance with their kind permission, by his friend Mr. Thomas Frapples of the Inner Temple. -rgds, Varanese |
