The next reference is Matthew xxvi." And again Eurie read: "'Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper." "The very place!" Flossy said, again. "Oh, I want so much to know what happened then!" "Won't Miss Mitchell read it to us?" Mr. Roberts said, and he arranged his shawl along the ground for seats. "Since we have really come to Bethany, let us have the full benefit of it.
But what could she do? She and Flossy had talked it over together after they reached their room at the hotel; in fact they talked away into the night. "I don't know," Flossy said, with a little laugh, "but I shall have to depend on the 'unconscious influence' which I exert to do my work for me. I don't know of anything which I can actually do. Dr. Niles made a great deal of that."
Flossy Shipley, you surely know that he derives a good deal of his income in that way?" "I certainly did not know it," Flossy said, with an increasing glow on her cheeks. The glow was caused by wondering how far her own brother, Charlie, had been led by this man. "Girls," said Marion, concluding that a change of subject would be wise, "wouldn't a Bible reading evening be nice?"
"Why?" asked Marion, and receiving no answer at all felt that Flossy puzzled her as much as Ruth had done. However, she set herself to work to restore peace. "This letter is done," she said, gayly, folding her manuscript.
Was it natural, that mass of very pale gold, so pale that it seemed a flossy heap of raw silk, or had she by some subtle stroke of skill discovered the secret of that beautiful artificial colouring, which was so successfully practised in the days of Giorgione?
Still, there was that in Flossy which always held the attention of the young men; she knew this to be the case, and, without understanding what her peculiar power was, she felt that she had it, and believed that she could call it into service for this new work.
Next night, while the moon was shining low over the snow-clad hills, the whole camp was alarmed by the fierce barking of Briton. The mastiff was "wowffing", Veevee was "wiffing", and Flossy was moaning and wagging her tail in the air.
I am sitting in the dining-room in the rocking-chair before the fire with my feet on the fender. Papa is in the parlour. Tabby and Martha are, I think, in the kitchen. Keeper and Flossy are, I do not know where. Little Dick is hopping in his cage." And then, "Emily ... is writing some poetry.... I wonder what it is about?" That is the only clue to the secret that is given.
What good can you do such creatures, Flossy?" "My dear Gracie, don't you think that Jesus Christ died to save them?" "Well!" said Gracie, hesitatingly. It was a favorite phrase with her, as it is with many people when they don't know what to say next. "And don't you think he wants them saved?
Spoiled at home, and the job finished at one of these flossy girls' boardin'-schools where they get a full course in court etiquette and learn to call the hired girl Smith quite haughty. But she looked good to Westy, and, what with the help Vee and I gave 'em, they made a match of it. Months ago that must 'a' been, nearly a year.
