Here,” he added to a driver who stood behind him, “take these things.” “I’ll go and see to his putting them in,” said Miss Ophelia. “O, pshaw, cousin, what’s the use?” said St. Clare. “Well, at any rate, I’ll carry this, and this, and this,” said Miss Ophelia, sin- gling out three boxes and a small carpet-bag. “My dear Miss Vermont, positively, you mustn’t come the Green Mountains over us that way. You must adopt at least a piece of a southern principle, and not walk out under all that load. They’ll take you for a waiting-maid; give them to this fellow; he’ll put them down as if they were eggs, now.” Miss Ophelia looked despairingly, as her cousin took all her treasures from her, and rejoiced to find herself once more in the carriage with them, in a state of preservation. “Where’s Tom?” said Eva. |
