"It's the old saying; 'you can fool all of the people, some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time," laughed a voice. Peter took his eyes off Leonore's face, where they had been resting restfully, and glanced up. Watts had entered the room. "Go on," said Watts.
Salo remarked quite frankly that he himself hardly looked forward to Leonore's coming, as he saw in each of her letters how happy she was in Aunt Maxa's household and how difficult the separation would be for her. Whenever he thought how hard it would be for her to grow accustomed to the change again, all his joy vanished at the prospect of her return.
"Or you might run over to the Goelets', and borrow their baby's perambulator," continued that segment of the Spanish Inquisition. If ever an irritating, aggravating, crazing, exasperating, provoking fretting enraging, "I dare you," was uttered, it was in Leonore's manner as she said this. Peter looked about hopelessly.
May I write to him today and let him know that we shall have a home with you?" "How do you do, Mr. Castle-Steward," Mäzli said that moment, thrusting a plump, round hand between Leonore's and the Baron's. Mäzli had actually made use of the first moment her hand was free. "Now Kurt can see for himself that you and Mr. Trius are two people; can't he, Mr. Steward?"
We have now Eva with us at home, and shall have time enough to talk and to think and then all will be cleared up. Is it not quite for the best that we sleep on this affair? Eva must be weary after her journey, and our 'blue-eyed one' must not weep on this first evening." Leonore's advice was taken, and with a mutual "forgive," Louise, Eva, and Gabriele embraced and separated for the night.
Peter coolly put his hand on the paper and pushed it down till he could see Leonore's face. When he had done that he found her fairly beaming. She tried to put on a serious look quickly, and looked up at him with it on. But Peter said, "I caught you," and laughed. Then Leonore laughed. Then they filled in the space before lunch by translating and answering the telegram.
He is the only person in the whole world to whom we could belong. We have wished many and many a time a chance to look for him, because we might live with him." "No, you couldn't do that. I know him, I have been in Spain," the Castle-Steward said curtly. A light spread over Leonore's face, as if her heart had been suddenly flooded with hope. "Oh, do you really know our uncle?
Her mother had told her that Leonore was charming, refined and modest, besides being extremely grateful for every little favor. But what thrilled Mea beyond everything was that Leonore had repeatedly told her mother how much she looked forward to meeting her, because the two were of an age. Leonore's only fear was that Mea might find her rather tiresome.
Peter had been tempted to interrupt two or three times, but it was so absorbing to watch Leonore's face, and its changing expression, as, unconscious of his presence, she listened to Dennis, that Peter had not the heart to do it. But now Watts spoke up. "Do you hear that, Peter? There's value for you! You're better than the cat."
The doctor had also forbidden them to go up to the sick-room, and they were to do the best they could during that time. If the sickness should get worse, a nurse was to come to the house and then the mother would be free again. If the illness was to be slight, on the contrary, the children would be admitted to the sick-room and make Leonore's acquaintance.
