"It takes Mammy Graymouse to teach them their lessons. If they don't mind, just tell Mammy." School began upon a lovely summer morning. Dot found many pupils waiting upon the green moss seats. "What a splendid school! I am proud," she exclaimed as she tossed her pink sun hat upon her desk. "I shall soon teach you some pretty songs, but this morning Fidelia Cricket has promised to fiddle for us."
Aylward, was already occupied by two ladies, who rose up, and made her stately curtsies with a decidedly disgusted air, although there was ample space for her and Fidelia, the only one of her charges whom she had ventured to take with her.
<b>BRIDGES, FIDELIA.</b> Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1878, when but three other women were thus honored. Born in Salem, Massachusetts. Studied with W. T. Richards in Philadelphia, and later in Europe during one year. She exhibited her pictures from 1869 in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Her subjects were landscapes and flowers.
Such trifling questions as lovers alone can ask and answer then passed between them; and at last came the solemn interrogatory from the kneeling Alberto: "And will you always love me, dearest?" "Who?" asked Alberto. "My father!" shrieked Fidelia. "Go that way." She pointed with her small alabaster hand to the left wing.
There was something in his manner of examining her with his eyes that made her supremely uncomfortable. He uttered fashionable expletives of admiration under his breath, and she turned aside in displeasure, bending down to Fidelia. He went on, "You must be devilishly moped in this dungeon of a place! Cannot we contrive something better?" "Thank you, sir, I have no complaint to make.
Not a gesture, nor a twinge of the features, nor an accent to indicate emotion of any kind. It was in quiet efforts like these that Mrs. Slapman excelled. When the applause elicited by this stroke of genius had ceased, Mr. "Your future husband, Fidelia," said the father. Fidelia rose from her seat still imperturbable.
"I can like of the wealth, I must confess, Yet more I prize the man though moneyless: I am not of their humour yet that can For title or estate affect a man; Or of myself one body deign to make With him I loathe, for his possessions' sake." WITHER'S Fidelia. Barton returned home after his encounter with Esther, uneasy and dissatisfied.
As Fidelia came up to the little table, she faltered, and leaned upon it to support herself; then, with a nervous motion, grasped the pen. Several times she dipped the pen in the empty inkstand, and each time her face assumed a look of more settled anguish. Then, bracing all her nerves for the decisive act of woman's life, she put down the pen boldly on the paper, and made one up stroke.
"Fidelia was tired out, and was crying." "A peevish child! I am glad I did not choose her." "She is usually very good, madam," said Aurelia, eagerly. "Is she your favourite?" "I try not to make favourites, madam." "Ah! there spoke the true Manor House tone," said her Ladyship, rather mockingly.
There I met a younger sister of Minna's, Amalie Planer, a singer with a pretty voice, who had joined our opera company at Magdeburg for a short time. My report of Minna quite overwhelmed this exceedingly kind- hearted girl. We went to a performance of Fidelia together, during which she, like myself, burst into tears and sobs.
