"Take your own time, and think well before you make your decision." But Carry's ear and attention were given to the sound of voices in the hall. At the same moment, the door was thrown open, and a servant announced, "Mrs. Tretherick and Mr. Robinson." The afternoon train had just shrieked out its usual indignant protest at stopping at Genoa at all as Mr.
He was on horseback, and his mother arrived a little later in the carriage, having called at Roselands on the way, and picked up Adelaide. Lora did not come, as she had accepted an invitation to spend the holidays at Mr. Howard's, where a little girl about her own age, a cousin of Carry's, from the North, was spending the winter. Mr.
And Carry has this moment received the most beautiful green box, containing two of the most heavenly old lace shawls that you ever beheld. We divine it is to hide poor Carry's matrimonial blue mark! We know nothing. Will you imagine Carry is for not accepting it! Priority of birth does not imply superior wits, dear no allusion to you. I have undertaken all. Arch looks, but nothing pointed.
"Unseemly anger on my lady's part, and rebellion on Carry's, forming, as usual, its chief features." "But Lady Augusta is so indulgent to her children!" interrupted Constance. "Perniciously indulgent, generally; and when the effects break out in insolence and disobedience, then there ensues a scene. If you go there you will witness them occasionally, and I assure you they are not edifying.
For some distance their high spirits, youth, and even inexperience, kept them bravely up; but, in ambitiously attempting a short-cut from the high-road across an open field, their strength gave out, the laugh grew less frequent, and tears began to stand in Carry's brown eyes. When they reached the road again, they were utterly exhausted. "Let us go back," said Carry.
They entered the bedroom together. Carry's eye instantly caught sight of the trunk. "Are you dowin away adain, mamma?" she said with a quick nervous look, and a clutch at the woman's dress. "No-o," said Mrs. Tretherick, looking out of the window. "Only playing your dowin away," suggested Carry with a laugh. "Let me play too." Mrs. Tretherick assented.
We neither of us encourage hero-worship now, but then we were "bons princes," and graciously accepted Carry's homage as due to our superior merits. There are two drawings illustrative of that chivalrous devotion of ours. We are galloping along on our noble steeds, richly attired, as true knights and good should be when they go to pay homage to beauty.
Carry's sweet woman's brightness had once been as dear to him, but all that had now passed away. "Is it a'going all through?" asked the miller, referring to the mill. "Running as pretty as a coach-and-four when I left at seven this morning," said Sam. "And how did thee come?" "By the marrow-bone stage, as don't pay no tolls; how else?"
After a few moments' silence, she again said: "Perhaps you are right in your choice. She is a goodhearted girl, Jack but a little bold." And with this last flicker of foolish, weak humanity in her struggling spirit, she spoke no more. When they came to her a moment later, a tiny bird that had lit upon her breast flew away; and the hand that they lifted from Carry's head fell lifeless at her side.
And Carry has this moment received the most beautiful green box, containing two of the most heavenly old lace shawls that you ever beheld. We divine it is to hide poor Carry's matrimonial blue mark!
