To-night you get Billy to print a sign, ‘apples on the stick and mollolligobs to-day.’ You put that in the window to-morrow morning and by to-morrow night, you’ll be all sold out.” “Oh, Rosie,” Maida said happily, “I shall be so much obliged to you!” Rosie was as good as her word. She appeared that afternoon wearing a long-sleeved apron under the scarlet cape.
Rollo paid no attention to him, but walked directly in. Josie walked by his side, and Mrs. Gray and Rosie followed them. "Now," said Rollo, "we must wait here until uncle George comes." The hall into which they had entered was very large and very lofty, and the columns and staircases that were to be seen here and there adorning it were very grand.
A week before the steamer left New York Leo and Rosie had quarreled. Leo's invitation to accompany the Harrises had come to him from Alfonso only three days before the "Majestic's" departure, and such was his momentary ill-humor toward Rosie that he sailed from New York without even advising her of his new plan, or saying good-bye.
By the way, Rosie, you are just the person to ferret this little secret out; you are the right sort of person for spying and peeping." "Oh, thank you," replied Rosalind; "if that's your opinion of me I'm not inclined to do anything to please you. Spying and peeping, indeed! What next?" Annie Day patted her companion's small white hand. "And so I've hurt the dear little baby's feelings!" she said.
And besides, if he were a changed man to-night, he is no' the man to win Miss Graeme's heart, and he'll no ask her. He is far more like to ask Rosie; for I doubt she is not beyond leading him on for her own amusement." "Oh! Come now, ain't you a little too hard on Rosie," said Mr Snow, expostulatingly. He could not bear that his pet should be found fault with.
"Don't hurry home on my account, mamma dear," returned Rosie. "I shall not be lonely. I have letters to write, and that will make the time pass quickly." "It is a lovely day and the short drive with my son will be very enjoyable," Mrs. Travilla remarked, as Harold handed her into the vehicle. "To us both, I hope, mother," he returned, giving her an affectionate look and smile.
Rosie was playing on the floor with Delia and the puppy that she had rescued from the tin-can persecution. Rosie was growling, the dog was yelping and Delia was squealing—but all three with delight. Arthur and Dicky sat opposite each other, working at the round table.
Gray goes into her room, you are not to have any conversation with any body." "Why not, uncle George?" asked Rollo. "Because I want to have the room still, so that I can write. I have journals and letters to write, and so have you, and so I suppose has Josie; and the evening, after Mrs. Gray and Rosie have gone to their room, will be the best time to appropriate to the work.
This Gimpke girl doesn't know how to do a thing," Jo exclaimed. If her voice was a trifle high-pitched it was not out of keeping with her brilliant coloring and dashing manners. Even the thoughtless rebuke of the Gimpke girl seemed excusable from her lips, and Rosie Gimpke looked at her with unblinking eyes. "You can put on my apron and finish, but don't change a thing, now mind.
We had no means of taking care of lunatics, and that was about what Rosie was. The Colonies all had laws, barring out undesirables and such, even if a steamer would have taken her, which none of them would. "I'll tell you what I'd do," said Doc.
