Evelyn noticed only her sternness. She began to weep softly. "There, he wanted me, too," she said, "and of course he had to ask you, and you knew I think you might have, sister." "I thought it was better not," repeated Maria. "Now, dear, you had better eat your luncheon." "I don't want any luncheon." Maria began to eat a sandwich herself. There was an odd meekness and dejectedness in her manner.
This maid of the world, who could endure hardships and loss of society for the mistress to whom she was attached, no sooner saw herself surrounded by the comforts befitting her station, than she indulged in the luxury of a wailful dejectedness, the better to appreciate them.
