"Good by, dear, kind Tulee," said she.
"Take good care of the little one." At Philadelphia, her strength broke down, and they were detained three days.

Consequently, when they arrived in New York, they found that the Mermaid, in which they expected to take passage, had sailed.

The Signor considered it imprudent to correspond with his wife on the subject, and concluded to go out of the city and wait for the next vessel.

When they went on board, they found Madame, and explained to her the circumstances.
"I am glad I didn't know of the delay," said she; "for I was frightened enough as it was.

"No, dear, I didn't bring them." "O, how came you to leave them ?" said Rosa.
