Remember the Alamo

CHAPTER XVII
29/33

New furniture for my whole house! The thing is inconceivably charming.

But when, Roberto, will these things arrive?
Is there danger on the road they are coming?
Might not some one take them away?
I shall not be able to sleep until I am sure they are safe." "I chartered a schooner in New Orleans, and came with them to the Bay of Espiritu Santo.

There I saw them placed upon wagons, and only left them after the customs had been paid in the interior--sixty miles away.

You may hire servants at once to prepare the rooms: the furniture will be here in about three days." "I am the happiest woman in the world, Roberto!" And she really felt herself to be so.

Thoughtful love could have devised nothing more likely to bridge pleasantly and surely over the transition between the past and the coming life.
