O'Higgins had an idea in regard to Ah Cum. He was halfway across the ballroom, where the dancing had ceased for the
musicians to take a well-earned rest, when Roding pounced on him. As
soon as the latter beheld him, she uttered a loud scream, and fainted. She was retuning,
fifths spilling from the sliver of light underneath the door
like milk. He roused curiosities. It
ran in rivulets down her face, penetrating her hood and
the thick quilting of her coat. Dare we look back upon the
darkened vista, and, in imagination retrace the path we have trod? With how
many vain hopes is it shaded! with how many good resolutions, never fulfilled,
is it paved! Where are the dreams of ambition in which, twelve years ago, we
indulged? Where are the aspirations that fired us—the passions that consumed us
then? Has our success in life been commensurate with our own desires—with the
anticipations formed of us by others? Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in
ambition? Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us
by the cold hand of death? Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, further off
than ever—the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?—Enough of
this. There was the cottage she had
inhabited for so many years,—in those fields she had rambled,—at that church
she had prayed. Her slender
throat was encircled by a black riband, with a small locket attached to it; and
upon the top of her head rested a diminutive lace cap. "I generally do," replied Blueskin, pouring out a bumper of sack. ”
“Yes,” she said, and abruptly she liked him enormously. I shall lose my fees and the laced coat. Unless we can get some optimism into him, he'll probably start this all
over again when he gets on his feet.
