Kate Danton, or, Captain Danton’s Daughters

CHAPTER IV
25/26

"Farewell, Miss Danton." "Good-bye," letting the tips of her fingers touch his.

"Bon voyage." She walked away to the window, cold indifference in every line of her proud face.
He held out his hand to Rose, glancing sideways at his sister.
"Adieu, Miss Rose," he said; "I shall never forget the pleasant hours I have passed at Danton Hall." He pressed the little plump hand, and Rose's rosy cheeks took a deeper dye; but she only said, "Good-bye," and walked away to the piano, and played a waltz.
Eeny was the only one who expressed regret, and gave his hand a friendly shake.
"I am sorry you are going," she said.

"Come back soon, Doctor Frank." Doctor Frank looked as if he would like to kiss her; but Kate was there, queenly and majestic, and such an impropriety was not to be thought of.
It was Kate, however, who spoke to him last, as he left the room.
"Take good bye from me to Tiger," she said.

"I shall be glad when Tiger comes back to St.Croix." "'Love me, love my dog,'" quoted Rose.

"How about Tiger's master, Kate ?" "I shall always be pleased to see Doctor Danton," said Kate, with supreme indifference.
