We may sit and gaze from the boxes at our Othellos and Biancas; we may laugh at the silly heart-burnings between Cousin Kate and Cousin Lucy in the ball-room, or the squabbles of Mary and Sally in the kitchen over the gardener's lad; but there the thing remains.
I really can't tell; but he'll soon tire of country life. I don't think he's much of a sportsman. 'Ha, isn't he? I don't know anything about him almost; but I hate him. 'Why should you, though? He's a very gentlemanlike fellow and your cousin. 'My cousin the Devil's cousin everyone's cousin.
All right, don't you worry about me. I can stand it, I guess. Where's your mother and and Cousin Percy?" "Mother is in the next room with Mrs. Cousin Percy is Oh, here he comes now." Hungerford appeared, strolling in their direction. He seemed surprised when he saw his relatives in company with Mr. Holway. "Hello, Monty!" he said. "You here? How are you?" The two young men shook hands.
It is of no consequence; I have said everything in my note." "You will be engaged with your cousin to-morrow, I suppose?" "Yes, we are going to have a little family-party. My cousin Tom will dine with us; and poor aunty will have her two children together for the first time. It will be very pretty; I think a great deal about it." "But I may come the next day?" "Oh yes!
Placing her arm affectionately around him, she led him into the parlor, saying, "I am so glad that you have come to live with me and be my brother. We'll have real nice times, but perhaps you dislike little girls. Did you ever see one that you loved?" "Yes, two," was the answer. "My cousin Ida, and one other." "Oh, who is she?" asked Ida. "Tell me all about her How does she look? Is she pretty?"
And as we must not be partial in conferring such distinction, we mean on this matter to confer with our cousin of Sussex."
Somehow my thoughts went back to the first time Cousin Stephen came to our place, when I was a real little girl, and mother'd sent me to the well and I had dropped the bucket in, and he ran straight down the green slippery stones and brought it up, laughing.
The meal was well-nigh finished when Philip said to his cousin who confronted him there were only four at the table: "Phillida, I saw Mrs. Maginnis day before yesterday at Mrs. Benthuysen's. She is still sounding your praises as a faith-healer, but she confided to me that a pious girl and a minister's daughter ought not to be proud. She suggested that you didn't get that from your father.
She received me in a way becoming in a mistress who is glad to have acquired some rights over her lover. "I was sure," said she, "that you would come and see me;" and though her cousin was there she kissed me so often and so ardently that there was no room for doubt as to the manner in which we had spent our night together.
But when they came home to tea, full of the glory of their discovery, they found that a new excitement made the announcement fall a little flat. For in the Den, Daddy read a telegram he had just received from England to say that Cousin Henry was coming out to visit them for a bit. His room had already been engaged at the carpenter's house. He would arrive at the end of the week.
