It was my money he wanted most, and when he thought I had none, he left me, saying as I heard, that I 'was a nice-ish kind of girl, rather good-looking, but too blue for him.'" "And the other, the boy like Hugh, have you met him again ?" Adah asked, feeling a little disappointed, when Alice replied: "Once, I am very sure." Alice heard the faint sigh, and hope died out for Hugh.

Poor Hugh! Alice was thinking of him, too, and said at last: "Was Rocket sold to Colonel Tiffton for debt ?" "Yes, for 'Lina's debts, contracted at Harney's.

I've heard of his boasting that Hugh should yet be compelled to see him galloping down the pike upon his idol." "He never shall!" and Alice spoke under her breath, asking further questions concerning the sale of Colonel Tiffton's house, and now much Mosside was worth.
Adah did not know.

She was only posted with regard to Rocket, who was pawned for five hundred dollars.

"Once I insanely hoped that I might help redeem him--that God would find a work for me to do--and my heart was so happy for a moment." "What did you think of doing ?" Alice asked, glancing at the delicate young girl, who looked so unaccustomed to toil of any kind.
"I thought to be a governess or waiting maid," and Adah's lip began to quiver.
