There used to be Covingtons down the creek." "The name was Carrington," I said, and the subject lapsed. Gertrude and Halsey went for a long walk that afternoon, and Louise slept. Time hung heavy on my hands, and I did as I had fallen into a habit of doing lately I sat down and thought things over. One result of my meditations was that I got up suddenly and went to the telephone.
I meant the the lady he was with." The girl at his side laughed, not very heartily. "ET TU, BRUTE!" she said. "I might have known it. It really is remarkable that though so many people don't think Louise goodlooking I have often heard her called plain yet I never knew a man go past her without turning his head. You want to know who and what she is? Well, that depends on whom you ask.
It is not pleasant, either, to eat with one's maids." "I am honored," he declared. "Will you permit me for one moment?" He turned and spoke to his companions. Louise saw at once that they were protesting vigorously. She saw, too, that Von Behrling only became more obstinate and that he was very nearly angry. She moved a few steps on down the corridor, and stood looking out of the window.
There was a dress of Jennie's lying across a chair, in a familiar way, which caused Miss Kane to draw herself up warily. She looked at her brother, who had a rather curious expression in his eyes he seemed slightly nonplussed, but cool and defiant. "You shouldn't have come out here," said Lester finally, before Louise could give vent to the rising question in her mind.
She laughed quietly, yet his ears were quick, and he caught the note of sadness which a moment later crept into her eyes. "It would solve so much that is troublesome, wouldn't it?" she remarked. "May I ask if that has been the sole topic of your conversation?" "Absolutely! Louise! Dear!" She turned a little towards him. His voice was compelling.
Yes, yes, Louise, that is my weakness; I do not deny it, I am jealous jealous of all those who keep you from me, who prevent my receiving your letters." "My letters!" said Louise, astonished; "why should I have written letters to your highness? I do not believe it is the custom for ladies to write to gentlemen voluntarily. It has been two weeks since I received a letter from your highness."
"Thou speakest about it so calmly," said Louise, and bent over her sister, "I would almost believe that it was love." "Love!" exclaimed Sophie, raising herself up in bed, for now Louise's words had become interesting to her; "whom dost thou think that he loves?" "Thyself," replied Louise, and seized her sister's hand. "Perhaps?" returned Sophie. "I also made fun of him!
"I can not understand it," Gertrude said thoughtfully. "I don't think he knew Doctor Walker at all, and their relations could hardly have been cordial, under the circumstances." Jamieson pricked up his ears, and little by little he drew from us the unfortunate story of Halsey's love affair, and the fact that Louise was going to marry Doctor Walker. Mr. Jamieson listened attentively.
"Very wrong, madame; but I am so accustomed to your reproaches, that I pardon you these." "In that case, let us begone, Louise; we have nothing to do but to retire. Well!" "Madame!" said La Valliere, starting, "did you speak?" "You do not appear to be listening, my child." "No, madame, I was thinking." "About what?" "A thousand things."
Isn't it fine to think of her nearby in her little House in the Woods, always ready to give us help and advice. Tory declares she would never have dared to insist we have Kara at camp with us when she is so ill and unhappy except for Miss Frean's nearness." Her task accomplished, Louise turned aside from her cot bed and put her arm about the other girl's shoulders.
