One day Mrs. Nesbit suddenly said to Theodora, 'Arthur's wife and children are here, are not they? 'Yes; Violet would have come to see you, but we doubted if you were equal to it. 'I have nothing to say to Mr. Moss's daughter, but bring that eldest boy here, I want to see him.
Miriam Nesbit can play Orlando as well as I, and makes a more striking appearance at that." "I don't agree with you, Grace, for you were an ideal 'Orlando," replied Miss Tebbs. "However it's too late for regret, and the best I can do now is to make you assistant stage manager. Some of those girls need looking after. Miss Savell had a bad case of stage fright and almost had to be dragged on.
The cheers were given with a will, then the girls joined hands and danced around Jessica's father, sounding their class yell until he broke through the circle and made a rush for the library, his fingers to his ears. "Now that we have that question settled," said Miriam Nesbit, after the girls were once more seated, "I think we ought to have a sorority pin."
The next moment he was seized by a file of soldiers and thrust into the guardhouse for buying anything of a soldier against the law. He had only the bare floor to sleep on. In the morning, Lieutenant-Colonel Nesbit ordered the soldiers to strip off Ditson's clothes, and tar and feather him.
This morning, rather." Not without dignity, he turned, stepped quickly to the stairs, saluted gravely, and went down. "No, no!" panted Nesbit, wrestling with Rudolph. "Easy on, now! Let you go? No fear!" Heywood wrenched the captive loose, but only to shake him violently, and thrust him into a chair. "Be quiet, you little ass!" he scolded.
"Ah reckons it am watah," answered the colored boy, which brought a laugh from the Overlanders. "Laundry must have been 'con-centrating," observed Anne Nesbit. "This may be Spring Brook," called Miss Briggs. "We shall have to take for granted that it is."
"I believe Miss Leece really wants to prevent my winning the prize. That's all." "She has certainly adopted a pet," cried Marian Barber. "What did Miriam Nesbit mean by studying ahead like that?" exclaimed another. "It was disloyal to the whole class." "It looks very much as if they had fixed it up between them," continued Grace.
"There," she said, patting it, "that can't get lost. My chain is very strong. I prefer a chain to a pin or fob, because either one is so easy to lose." "That's sensible," commented David. "Girls wouldn't be eternally losing their watches if they weren't so vain about wearing those silly little châtelaine pins." "Why, David Nesbit!" exclaimed Grace, glancing up at the mission clock on the wall.
When David was a little boy he used to crawl through the garden hedge and call on the charming old lady nearly every day. David had hoped that Miriam would laugh at this, but she stormed all the more, while poor Mrs. Nesbit looked wretched. "It isn't Mrs. Gray," sobbed Miriam.
"Most of the juniors are really nice girls, but it is due to Julia Crosby that they behave so badly," said Jessica Bright thoughtfully, "She leads them, into all kinds of mischief. She is a born trouble-maker." "She is one of the rudest girls I have ever known," remarked Nora with emphasis. "How Miriam Nesbit can tolerate her is more than I can see."
