For general material Miss Carrie drew from the whole school, but the play was for her own class alone. And this was the day of the exhibition. Hattie and Sadie and Emmy Lou stood at the gate of the school. They had spent the morning in rehearsing. At noon they had been sent home with instructions to return at half past two. The exhibition would begin at three.
"If I did that we might have you, too, down with typhoid. But you may write to me, and I hope you will," and she gave Hattie her new address. "Harriet," said Campbell as the carriage drove back across the square, the father and daughter waving their hands to Lloyd, briskly on her way to the railroad station, "Harriet." "Yes, papa." "There goes a noble woman.
Hattie ran out to meet her mother, who had been to New York; and Felix frowned, took up his crutches, and put on his hat. Edna turned and went to her own room, and in a few moments Hattie brought her a package of letters, and a message from Mrs. Andrews, desiring her to come back to the sitting-room.
And after a time and quite a lot of talk, he said he would agree to it. And this morning we did it. At exactly ten o'clock he came up the steps of the house here, but he didn't ring the bell. I had told him not to do that, and I was on the watch for him. I knew that at ten o'clock Grandfather would be gone, Aunt Hattie probably downtown shopping, and Lester out with his governess.
I wasn't there, and I don't hesitate to say that I am glad of it. One howitzer is as much as I care to face. I got this hurt while coming into Crooked Inlet on the schooner Hattie. She's a blockade-runner." "Oh! well, if there's going to be a war, as some people seem to think, you blockade-runners will be of quite as much use to the Confederacy as the soldiers.
Young Nick and Hattie had walked side by side, feeling that the eyes of the town were on them, reading their emblazoned names. But Mary marched behind them, solemnly and alone. She held her head very high, knowing what her kinsfolk thought: that gran'ther had disgraced them. A passionate protest rose within her.
And mounting the stairs to the mansard, their door had shut upon the Platonians; it was a secret society. And now this door stood open to Miss MacLauren. She took her note to Hattie and to Rosalie, who showed a polite but somewhat forced interest. "Of course if you have time for that sort of thing," said Hattie. "As if there was not enough of school and learning, now, Emily," said Rosalie.
And they acted as if they were glad to see me Mother, Grandfather, Aunt Hattie, and even Baby Lester. He knew me, and remembered me. He'd grown a lot, too. And they said I had, and that I looked very nice. My, but it was good to get into an automobile again and just go! And it was so good to have folks around you dressed in something besides don't-care black alpaca and stiff collars.
Smith was rearranging the books on Miss Maggie's shelves and trying to make room for the new ones he had brought her through the winter. When Mrs. Hattie came in, red-eyed and flushed-faced, he ceased his work at once and would have left the room, but she stopped him with a gesture. "No, don't go. You know all about it, anyway, and I'd just as soon you knew the rest. So you can keep right to work.
There was a scarlet spot upon her cheek. Before school there had been words between Hattie and Isobel. The politics of the President of the United States had figured in it, and Emily Louise had learned that the President was a Republican. And yet flags! And processions! Miss Amanda said, "Well, Hattie?" Hattie arose.
