I told her with many thanks that I could not think of it—
that my aunt needed me, and that I was happy with her.
"That is the worst of it," said Theo gravely. "You like the
life, and that makes it the more dangerous for you."
"She is not at all well, I regret to say," was the reply. "I
begin to fear the climate of England does not agree with
her. I hope to make you acquainted with her another day.
This is not the place for family affairs, so I trust you,
madame," bowing profoundly to Aunt Jem, "will allow our
kinswoman to visit my wife to-morrow."
"You have had a real success, and there is not one girl
in ten of your age who would have borne it so well," said
she. "But what upset you so? Was it the heat, or are your
stays uneasy? You must not let Mercer dress you too tight.
It will make your skin look muddy and your nose red."
CHAPTER XVII.
MY NEW FRIENDS.
I told her.
"I will divide these with Aunt Jemima," said I; "she has
beautiful hands."
"Jemima," I replied.
They were very attentive to Aunt Jem also, but she did
not like them as well as I did. I well remember a remark of
hers with which her husband was not at all pleased.
"Your old friend and flame, our good cousin, has done a
very wise thing," he continued, playing the while with my
aunt's little dog. "He has married the daughter of a rich
planter with I know not how many thousand slaves and
acres, and means to settle in those parts as soon as he can
arrange his affairs. What say you, chick? Shall I bespeak a
willow garland for you?"
Sorrow in itself has no power for good, but only for evil.
It is only while we look not at the things that are seen, but
at those which are unseen, that it works for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
But the truth was, I was eager to be—I will not say
convinced, but persuaded. My soul was a fountain of bitter
waters—a spring of boiling rebellion against Heaven, and
anger against man. I only wished to divide myself as far as
possible from Andrew and to go where I never need hear
his name. I allowed myself to go constantly to mass with
my aunt, to listen to Father Martien's arguments with
complacency, and to give good hopes to my French friends
that I meant to return to the bosom of the true church.
The day came when she was obliged to keep her bed
and acknowledge herself ill, and from that time her decay
was very rapid. It was most pitiable to see how she clung to
that world which was slipping away from her—to the
miserable crumbling idols which she had worshipped, but in
which there was no help. She would be partly dressed every
day, would see those—they were not many—who called
upon her—would hear all the news of the court and the
town. Her gentlewoman Mercer, who, was something of a
religious person in her way—wished her to have a
clergyman come to read prayers, but Aunt Jem refused. She
was not as bad as that, she said; there was plenty of time;
she was not going to die. She would be better when spring
came—in truth, she was much better already.
