The Signor has gone to ask my cousin, Mr. Duroy, to come here and see to the house.

Soon, after I leave this house, Madame's cousin, Mr. Duroy, will come with two boys.

"If such good friends hadn't been raised up for us in these dreadful days, what should we have done?" Here Madame came hurrying in to say, "Mr. Duroy and the boys have come.

Her cousin, Mr. Duroy, declared that he had been requested to take care of her apartments for a few weeks, as she was obliged to go to New York on business; that she took her young lady boarders with her, and that was all he knew.

Tom said he didn't know whether he could get away for an hour again, because his master was always very angry if he was out of the way when called; but if Mr. Duroy would come to the hotel, he would find chances to tell him what to do.

Rosa, stepping forward, recognized Mr. Duroy, the cousin in whose clothes Madame had escaped with them from New Orleans.

Mr. Duroy went on to speak of Tom's visit to Madame; and slowly and cautiously he prepared the way for his account of the conversation between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Bruteman.

Mr. Duroy became somewhat alarmed.

" The sufferer yielded more readily to Tulee's accustomed influence than she had done to that of Mr. Duroy.

But Mr. Duroy reminded her that Madame was longing to see her, and she yielded to that plea.

" "I never see Missy Rosy but once when she wasn't beautiful as an angel," said Tulee; "and that was the night Massa Duroy told her she was sold to Massa Bruteman.

He told of Rosa's long and dangerous illness; of Chloe's and Tulee's patient praying and nursing; of the birth of the baby; of the sale to Mr. Bruteman; and of the process by which she escaped with Mr. Duroy.

They drove to Mr. Duroy's, and found strangers there, who said the former occupants had all died of yellow-fever,the lady and gentleman, a negro woman, and a white baby.

She told the servant they wished to make some inquiries concerning Signor and Madame Papanti, and Monsieur Duroy; and she and Mrs. Delano were shown in to wait for the lady of the house.

My husband, who was one of Mr. Duroy's clerks, bought some of the things at auction; and among them was that parrot.

"Mrs. Duroy was willing to board Tulee for her work, and Madame thought it was most prudent to leave her there till we got established in Europe, and could send for her; and just when we were expecting her to rejoin us, letters came informing us that Mr. and Mrs. Duroy and Tulee all died of yellow-fever.

I was in that state, when Madame sent Mr. Duroy to tell me Mr. Fitzgerald was in debt, and had sold me to that odious Mr. Bruteman, whom he had always represented to me as the filthiest soul alive.

When I woke, my first wish was to change the dresses back again; but Chloe had gone to the plantation with my babe, and Mr. Duroy hurried me on board the boat before sunrise.

"After ye went away, Missy Duroy's cousin, who was a sea-captain, brought his baby with a black nurse to board there, because his wife had died.

When he went away, Missis Duroy said it was Mr. Bruteman.

The poor little thing worried in his sleep while he was doing it, and Missis Duroy scolded at me for hurting him.

The next week Massa Duroy was taken with yellow-fever; and then Missis Duroy was taken, and then the captain's baby and the black nurse.

The next week Massa Duroy was taken with yellow-fever; and then Missis Duroy was taken, and then the captain's baby and the black nurse.

"They wrote that Mr. and Mrs. Duroy and the black woman and the white baby all died of yellow-fever; and we didn't know there was any other black woman there.
