She hoped the Miss Andersons trained their pupils better than their cows: they had a sad obstreperous cow, she understood. There was a dirge sung over the syllabub, no doubt. The poor Miss Andersons must have been terribly annoyed. The good understanding of the gentlemen seemed all this time to be uninterrupted.
"Well," she added with a sigh, "the Andersons will get our place in the end, after all, and we shall be obliged to associate more or less with multi-millionaires for the rest of our days. It's depressing ethically; but there's no use in quarrelling with one's own flesh and blood, if it is a modern girl, for one would be quarrelling most of the time.
She learnt it by ear, and from the people, rather than from the book, and soon picked up enough to take a larger share in the varied work of the Mission. Life had a piquancy in these days when she lived with the Andersons on Mission Hill. "Daddy" Anderson was a veteran of the Mission, but it was "Mammy" Anderson with whom she came into closest relation.
The Rowlands went to a strawberry gathering at Sir William Hunter's; and the Greys, with all their faction, as Mrs Rowland called it, were invited to a syllabub under the cow, at the Miss Andersons' breaking-up for the holidays. All pretence of a good understanding between the two families was now at an end. They ceased to invite each other, and scrambled for their mutual acquaintances.
"You Andersons are full of surprises.... But I wish you would not do any more for me. I am like a dog. The kinder you are to me the more I love you.... How dreadful to go away to war to violence and blood and death to all that's brutalizing with my heart and mind full of love for a noble girl like you! If I come to love you any more I'll not be a man."
"Young men never know how to talk to little girls," was Flora's reply. At this moment they came up with one of the Miss Andersons, and Flora began to exchange civilities, and talk over yesterday's events with great animation.
His neck is very stiff; and the exact Jackson-like fit of his coat, which almost nips him in two at the waist, and his superlatively well-cleaned leather Andersons, together with the perfume and the general puppyism of his appearance, proclaim that he is a "swell" of the very first water, and one that a Surrey sportsman would like to buy at his own price and sell at the other's.
The writings of your Dews, and Baxters, and Plummers, and Postells, and Andersons, and the proceedings of your ecclesiastical bodies, abundantly show this.
Mother, what was the name of that poor family that lived over in the old Bobbins' house at the time?" "Andersons," said Mrs. Bishop. "That's right; Andersons," continued the Boswell of my infantile exploits.
May began to talk over the affair with his eldest son, who then was able to lay before him the facts of the case, as gathered from his sisters. He listened with a manner as though it were a reproof, and then said sadly, "I am afraid I was in a passion." "It was very wrong in Harry," said Richard, "and particularly unlucky it should happen with the Andersons."
