What
means
those
things
I
've
heard
--
myself
seen
?
What
could
have
taken
her
there
--
twenty
miles
across
the
country
--
alone
--
in
the
hut
of
a
common
horse-trader
--
standing
by
his
bedside
?
O
God
!
And
why
should
she
have
interposed
to
save
him
--
him
,
the
murderer
of
my
son
--
her
own
brother
?
O
God
!
"
"
Her
own
story
explains
the
first
--
satisfactorily
,
as
I
think
.
"
Calhoun
did
not
think
so
.
"
The
second
is
simple
enough
.
Any
woman
would
have
done
the
same
--
a
woman
like
Loo
.
"
"
There
is
none
like
her
.
I
,
her
father
,
say
so
.
Oh
!
that
I
could
think
it
is
,
as
you
say
!
My
poor
daughter
!
who
should
now
be
dearer
to
me
than
ever
--
now
that
I
have
no
son
!
"
"
It
is
for
her
to
find
you
a
son
--
one
already
related
to
you
;
and
who
can
promise
to
play
the
part
--
with
perhaps
not
so
much
affection
as
him
you
have
lost
,
but
with
all
he
has
the
power
to
give
.
I
wo
n't
talk
to
you
in
riddles
,
Uncle
Woodley
.
You
know
what
I
mean
;
and
how
my
mind
's
made
up
about
this
matter
.
I
want
Loo
!
"
The
planter
showed
no
surprise
at
the
laconic
declaration
.
He
expected
it
.
For
all
that
,
the
shadow
became
darker
on
his
brow
.
It
was
evident
he
did
not
relish
the
proposed
alliance
.
This
may
seem
strange
.
Up
to
a
late
period
,
he
had
been
its
advocate
--
in
his
own
mind
--
and
more
than
once
,
delicately
,
in
the
ear
of
his
daughter
.
Previous
to
the
migration
into
Texas
,
he
had
known
comparatively
little
of
his
nephew
.
Since
coming
to
manhood
,
Calhoun
had
been
a
citizen
of
the
state
of
Mississippi
--
more
frequently
a
dweller
in
the
dissipated
city
of
New
Orleans
.
An
occasional
visit
to
the
Louisiana
plantation
was
all
his
uncle
had
seen
of
him
;
until
the
developing
beauty
of
his
cousin
Louise
gave
him
the
inducement
to
make
these
visits
at
shorter
intervals
--
each
time
protracting
them
to
a
longer
stay
.
