Jules Verne
The Green Ray
(Independently published April 2, 2020)
"Betty!""Bess!""Betsey!"One after another these names re–echoed through the hall of Helensburgh; it was the waythe brothers Sam and Sib had of summoning their housekeeper.But just now these diminutives had no more power of bringing forth the worthy dame thanif her masters had bestowed on her her rightful title.It was Partridge the factor, who, with his hat in his hand, made his appearance at the hall–door.Addressing the two good natured–looking gentlemen seated in the embrasure of a bow–window in the front of the house, he said,—"You were calling Dame Bess, masters, but she is not in the house.""Where is she, then, Partridge?""She has gone out with Miss Campbell for a walk in the park."Then, at a sign from his masters, Partridge gravely retired.These gentlemen were the brothers Sam and Sib—christened Samuel and Sebastian—MissCampbell's uncles, Scotchmen of the old school, and of an ancient Highland clan; theyreckoned a hundred and twelve years between them, with only fifteen months' differencein age, Sam the elder, and Sib the younger.
