"My own abominable folly," he answered mournfully and, with the feeling that it would relieve his heart to pour out to this true friend what he would usually have confided only to his Myrtilus, he hurriedly related how he had recognised in Ledscha the best model for his Arachne, how he had sought her love, and then, detained by Althea, left her in the lurch and most deeply offended and insulted her.
But for Althea, and for Althea alone, she entertained a curious, indulgent affection, and every now and then Althea went to spend a week or so in Galloway, where she contrived to obtain considerable amusement. Aunt Maria did both herself and her visitors very well, said Althea, who had an appreciative eye for the material blessings of life.
He was a high-spirited fellow and I knew he would never overlook a public slight like that. If he had had as much sense as he ought to have had he would have known that Emmeline was at the bottom of it; but he didn't, and he began going to see Althea Gillis, and they were married the next year. Althea was a rather nice girl, though giddy, and I think she and Stephen were happy enough together.
With her small head erect, her narrow shoulders thrown back, and with a resolute step as befitted the descendant of a long line of ancestors Miss Althea passed behind the jury box and disappeared. The twelve looked at one another dubiously. Both Babson and O'Brien seemed nervous and undecided. "Well, call your next witness," remarked the judge finally.
'What a Philistine room it is, said Gerald, smiling as he looked around him; 'but I must say I like it just as it is. It has never made an æsthetic effort. Gerald's smile irradiated the whole house for Althea, and lit up, in especial, the big, sunny school-room where he and Helen found most memories of all.
Meanwhile there was the humiliating fact to face that she, the cherished and appreciated Althea, who had never returned to America without at least three devoted friends to welcome her, was to land on the dismal Liverpool docks and find no lover to greet her there. What would Mrs. Peel and Sally Arlington think when they saw her so bereft?
He, also appeared to graciously favor the proposition. "Why, yes," he said, "if Violet wants to go to Europe, let her; you say she does not like the idea of going to Canada with us, and as we are going to shut up the house, she must go somewhere." "But she is not quite sure that she even wants to go with Althea," Mrs. Mencke remarked, while she watched her sister closely. "Humph," responded Mr.
They all understood each other; they took light things like millions lightly, and grave things like ideals and responsibilities gravely. And, ah yes, there it was Althea turning her head to look at the speeding landscape of autumnal pearl and gold, thought, over her sense of smothered tears they knew what things were really serious.
I only kissed the face of the beautiful child, and Louis said: "My Emily's name is fit for the daughter of a king. God bless the little namesake," and Althea Emily gave utterance to a protracted "goo," which meant, of course, yes. You should have heard her talk, though, when Matthias came over to see "Miss Molly." "Come shufflin' over to see you," he said, "an' O my! but aint she jest as pooty.
Everything in this proud creature was genuine and original, which was certainly not the case with Althea. Besides, stern austerity was as much a part of the Biamite as her hair and her hands, yet what ardent passion he had seen glow in her eyes! The model so long sought in vain he had found in Ledscha, who in so many respects resembled Arachne.
