If you cry any more I'll go and walk right down to the harbour in this night-dress and drown myself." This terrible threat made Una choke back her sobs. Her tears were wiped away by Mary with the lace frill of the spare-room pillow and forgiver and forgiven cuddled down together again, harmony restored, to watch the shadows of the vine leaves on the moonlit wall until they fell asleep.
Think of the honor of your little Anne being put in the spare-room bed." "It's an honor you'll have to get along without. Go to bed, Anne, and don't let me hear another word out of you."
Gerald, living uncomplainingly in this dreadful little country town, enduring Western conditions with such dignity, and loving his little wife despite her undertaker father, would be seriously disgusted, she knew, if she gave him a daughter. "A a girl?" Clara stammered, her wet eyes on the doctor's face, her panting little figure lost in the big outline of her mother's spare-room bed.
"Diana," said Anne with dignity, "you are my bosom friend, but I cannot allow even you to speak to me of that person. Are you ready for bed? Let's run a race and see who'll get to the bed first." The suggestion appealed to Diana. The two little white-clad figures flew down the long room, through the spare-room door, and bounded on the bed at the same moment.
Presently there was a foot sounding on the stairs and across the ceiling. Then we were released. But something had arrived. Thereafter we found excitement in rummaging in unlikely places a wary lifting of summer garments laid away, for a peek beneath a journey on one's stomach under the spare-room bed a pilgrimage around the cellar with a flaring candle furtive explorations of the storeroom.
He to whom I gave my heart with all its wealth of love, Forsakes me for another. "Oh my heart! my heart!" moaned Sybil, as she sank down upon the floor of that spare-room, the door of which she had bolted, to secure herself from intrusion. "Oh, my heart! my heart!" she wailed, pressing her hand to her side like one who had just received a mortal wound.
She stroked Drummond's hair, and asked if he was sure his throat was better, just as he was on the point of completing a difficult addition; she told her husband the tragic history of the cook's impertinence, and handed him a heavy bill, when the poor man was enjoying the first quiet rest of the day; she requested Mollie's advice about spare-room curtains at the moment when long-separated lovers were united, and it was agony to lift one's eyes from the page for the fraction of a second.
The night of the quarrel Cyrus betook himself in solitary state to the "spare-room" over the parlor. After that he slept on a makeshift bed that he had prepared for himself in the shed-chamber, hitherto sacred to trunks, dried corn, and cobwebs.
She said a few words to Manuela in Spanish which, if not melodious, was intelligible, and then led Rita into the house, talking all the way. "Here's the settin'-room; and here's the spare-room off'n it. There! lay your things on the bed, dear. I keep on talkin', when all the time I want to hear you talk. It is good to hear your native speech, say what they will.
"Sure you won't tell?" she whispered as he laid her down. "Honour bright. Cross my heart! But you must take the medicine. It's nasty, but not too nasty, and you mustn't squeal or it will be the spare-room again. Red cheeks and prickly heat are consequences, but feather-beds and medicine are retribution." "That's right, Doctor," said Mrs. Sykes, who had heard the last words.
