in his closeness and thrift.
The Majors face became red. and Sam got away
from the wheel where he had been resting. He sur
missed that something unpleasant was about to happen.

along its entire front, with six or seven easy-going
steps leading down from its central portion to an
uneven brick sidewalk, somewhat green and moldy
in places not touched by the sunshine and the foot
of man. Across the walk, opposite the steps, was a
watering-trough, fed by a tall, long-armed, wooden
pump, at which all passing animals might quench
their thirst.

him to go on errands. or to be the butt of their Jokes.
Sam was devoted to the interests OF the Carter House.
1t was a matter of family pride with him, for his
father had belonged to that Carter for whom the
house had been named. He had been in its service
for ten years, and expected nothing else than to
give the remaining ~forty-ive years of his three score
and ten to the same cause. To Sam any other course
would have been rank d~isloyalty.
When Major Hawkins of Beechwood drove up to
the trough one warm afternoon, Sam rose ~languidly
from the steps and went forward to let down the
check so that the horse could stick his nose into the
water. His black face, which shone usually as if it
had been polished. was as lusterless as a widows
weeds. and his step was leaden.
