But our Ally's was not real naughtiness only the consequence of our not being able to keep up discipline, while we lived in dread of that seventh year that might rob us of our darling always sweet and loving. A change or two began to creep into our life.
* Convention of Mexico, signed July 30, 1866, by M. Dano and Don Luis de Arroyo. But he was a weak man; the Empress clung to her crown; the great state officials were interested in retaining their offices; he was surrounded by evil or interested councilors; and instead of standing up firmly in his false ally's path, he allowed him to brush past and to disregard him.
When they were all at the dinner-table that night, mother and father and girls and the three boys who had just come up from their boarding-school that very morning, this telegram was brought in from Uncle Tom, "Thanks for word of Ally's safety. All send love. Florence is writing to her." Ally's eyes opened wide with astonishment at this conclusion. Florence!
Through him the Emperor poured into his ally's ear a long exposure of the situation, saying in substance that war was to be avoided, that he had not the slightest intention of restoring Poland, and that if the Czar would write what was desired as a guarantee in the form of a newspaper article, the words should be inserted unchanged in the "Moniteur."
She hadn't really forgotten what Gwenda had done for her, but she couldn't go on thinking about it forever. It was the sort of thing that wasn't easy or agreeable to think about and Ally's instinct of self-preservation urged her to turn from it.
An advance upon Hanover always caused a great agitation in the Royal bosom of the King of England; more troops were sent to join us, convoys of treasure were passed over to our forces, and to our ally's the King of Prussia; and although, in spite of all assistance, the army under Prince Ferdinand was very much weaker than that of the invading enemy, yet we had the advantage of better supplies, one of the greatest Generals in the world: and, I was going to add, of British valour, but the less we say about THAT the better.
If he knows that little fact, we must take to our heels; if he is ignorant of it, our case is not desperate." "How will you find out?" "By simply asking him." Raoul exclaimed at his ally's cunning: "That is a dangerous thing to do," he said. "'Tis not as dangerous as sitting down with our hands folded. And, as to running away at the first suspicion of alarm, it would be imbecility."
Above all, he boasted of it to Duncan Forbes, whose endurance of this wretched ally's correspondence lasted until the pretended friendship was succeeded by avowed treachery to the Government to which he had professed such gratitude, and to the King and Prince whom he was wont to call "the bravest fellows in the world."
When the supply of meat on the small lady's plate was exhausted, I observed the little hand slyly slipping into her father's provision grounds, and with infinite address abstracting small morsels, whereat there was much mysterious winking between the father and the other children, and considerable tittering among the younger ones, though all in marvellous silence, as it was deemed best policy not to appear to notice Ally's tricks, lest they should become too obstreperous.
I've told you because I know you won't hate me, you won't think me awful. But I won't tell Mary, and I won't tell Papa. Or Steven. If I do they'll make me marry him." "Was it was it " Ally's instinct heard the name that her sister spared her. "Yes Yes Yes. It is." She added, "I don't care." "Ally what made you do it?" "I don't know." "Was it because of Steven?"
