It was rather a pitiful little bravery, but satisfying to Evangeline. She hurried Miss Theodosia aside and talked very fast. "I've sent Stefana out with Elly Precious. We're goin' to blind her an' lead her in an' count one two look! She'll see the cake the very quickest thing! She won't cut off an inch o' the stems, so they're kind of tall up 'n' down, you see. I mean the roses.
Nevertheless, he gave vent to some of his admiration in a notice of the work which he wrote for "The Salem Advertiser," a Democratic paper. "The story of Evangeline and her lover," he there says, "is as poetical as the fable of the Odyssey, besides that it comes to the heart as a fact that has actually taken place in human life."
Nothing on earth could happen to those kiddies." "Automobiles " "Aren't allowed on the grounds, and you couldn't have got Evangeline off the grounds with a tackle and falls. I know what I think." "Then tell it mercy gracious!" "I think it's Evangeline that's happened. Mark my words! Now I'm going back again. I just came to I suppose I thought I was coming to relieve your mind!"
"I've woke up right slap in the middle o' nights an' prayed: 'Oh, Lord, that made a little children an' forgot his ears, do somethin' now don't you think you'd ought to, O Lord? It don't seem fair not to. He ain't ever heard Elly Precious crow, nor laugh think o' that, dear Lord." The shrill voice dropped suddenly. "But He never." Evangeline sighed. "Till now, dear we hope He will now.
A young and gifted lady of Parma, now unhappily no more, lately published a translation of "The Golden Legend;" and Professor Messadaglia, in his Preface, mentions a version of another of our poet's longer works on which the translator of the "Evangeline" is now engaged.
Miss Theodosia settled a little in her chair and waited. In time Evangeline's time she would know. Elly Precious held out his rigid little mourning arm and softly whimpered. "Give him to me, Stefana; he wants to come to me," Miss Theodosia said, extending welcoming hands. Very gently she relieved the tension of the small arm. "We're in mournin' for you," Evangeline explained sadly.
Transferring the bag to Evangeline, he held out his hands for the baby. "You here?" Miss Theodosia exclaimed stupidly. "Yes are you?" Every one laughed. Laughing was so easy! Elly Precious from his lofty shoulder-post clapped small, joyous hands and crowed. In the ring a clown threw them kisses. A fairy in short, silvery skirts rode by on two horses. "Wait! Watch her watch her!"
"Torquilstone was horrid, I can see," said Lady Merrenden. "What did he say, Robert? Tell us everything. Evangeline would wish it too, I am sure, as well as I." Robert looked very pale and stern; one can see how firm his jaw is in reality, and how steady his dear, blue eyes. "I told him I loved Evangeline, whom I understood he had met yesterday, and that I intended to marry her."
I could have sworn the handsome party would have been beam-ended by the dance; it turned the stomachs of two of the crew, anyhow, and one of them said that if he had known the 'Evangeline' was to cross the bay, he'd have found another ship; yet the lady took no notice of the weather.
Oh, that they were all sunk in the ocean, the food for obscene sharks! And, oh, that only such pure and beautiful romances remained as picture the lives of a Hermann and a Dorothea, or a Gabriel and an Evangeline! But, girls, how some of you do treat the boys! No wonder they grow conceited: you allow them to become so.
