She
was
alone
.
There
was
no
one
to
take
note
of
this
melancholy
mood
,
nor
inquire
into
its
cause
.
The
cause
was
declared
in
a
few
low
murmured
words
,
that
fell
,
as
if
involuntarily
,
from
her
lips
.
"
He
may
be
dangerously
wounded
--
perhaps
even
to
death
?
"
Who
was
the
object
of
this
solicitude
so
hypothetically
expressed
?
The
invalid
that
lay
below
,
almost
under
her
feet
,
in
a
chamber
of
the
hacienda
--
her
cousin
Cassius
Calhoun
?
It
could
scarce
be
he
.
The
doctor
had
the
day
before
pronounced
him
out
of
danger
,
and
on
the
way
to
quick
recovery
.
Any
one
listening
to
her
soliloquy
--
after
a
time
continued
in
the
same
sad
tone
--
would
have
been
convinced
it
was
not
he
.
"
I
may
not
send
to
inquire
.
I
dare
not
even
ask
after
him
.
I
fear
to
trust
any
of
our
people
.
He
may
be
in
some
poor
place
--
perhaps
uncourteously
treated
--
perhaps
neglected
?
Would
that
I
could
convey
to
him
a
message
--
something
more
--
without
any
one
being
the
wiser
!
I
wonder
what
has
become
of
Zeb
Stump
?
"
As
if
some
instinct
whispered
her
,
that
there
was
a
possibility
of
Zeb
making
his
appearance
,
she
turned
her
eyes
towards
the
plain
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
river
--
where
a
road
led
up
and
down
.
It
was
the
common
highway
between
Fort
Inge
and
the
plantations
on
the
lower
Leona
.
It
traversed
the
prairie
at
some
distance
from
the
river
bank
;
approaching
it
only
at
one
point
,
where
the
channel
curved
in
to
the
base
of
the
bluffs
.
A
reach
of
the
road
,
of
half
a
mile
in
length
,
was
visible
in
the
direction
of
the
Fort
;
as
also
a
cross-path
that
led
to
a
ford
;
thence
running
on
to
the
hacienda
.
In
the
opposite
direction
--
down
the
stream
--
the
view
was
open
for
a
like
length
,
until
the
chapparal
on
both
sides
closing
in
,
terminated
the
savanna
.
The
young
lady
scanned
the
road
leading
towards
Fort
Inge
.
Zeb
Stump
should
come
that
way
.
He
was
not
in
sight
;
nor
was
any
one
else
.
