'My love! said Lady Annabel, one day to her daughter, 'do you think you could go out? The physicians think it of great importance that you should attempt to exert yourself, however slightly. 'Dear mother, if anything could annoy me from your lips, it would be to hear you quote these physicians, said Venetia. 'Their daily presence and inquiries irritate me. Let me be at peace.
"I do not like to seem inhospitable, Anna," she said hesitatingly. "And of course you are my niece just as Annabel is, although I am sorry to learn that your conduct has been much less discreet than hers. But at the same time, I must say plainly that I think your presence here just now would be a great misfortune. I wish very much that you had written before leaving Paris." Anna nodded.
His friend the Bishop also, notwithstanding the prejudices of Lady Annabel, received him always with cordiality, and he met the Herberts more than once at his mansion.
Only one little shadow there was that fell upon her at times when she thought of Egremont. What was that question of Mrs. Ormonde's a question asked in the overheard conversation? 'Have you altogether forgotten Annabel? And Walter's reply had shown that he did once love someone named Annabel. He had asked her to marry him, and she strange beyond thought! had refused him.
Annabel came up at that moment and asked Sue to dance, so Carita and Blue Bonnet visited until the gong sounded. On the way up to the study hall, Miss North stopped Blue Bonnet. "Will you come to my office a moment after study hour?" she said. "I want to go over your program with you. The room is just beyond the reception hall on the first floor."
'It seemed to me that you were not remarkably fond of him two months or so ago. 'Did it? she said, sarcastically. 'If I know little of men, it's certain you don't know much more of women. He leaned back and laughed. And whilst he laughed Paula quitted the room. Paula still kept up her habit of letter-writing. After breakfast next morning she sat in her pretty boudoir, writing to Annabel.
'Joyce, my darling, don't cry! said Winifred, suddenly catching the little girl to her breast in a strange tragic anguish, the Mater Dolorata. Even the child was frightened into silence. Egbert looked at the tragic figure of his wife with the child at her breast, and turned away. Only Annabel started suddenly to cry: 'Joycey, Joycey, don't have your leg bleeding!
When did this occur? 'They have been there these three days; I have paid them a visit. Mrs. Cadurcis has come to live at the abbey with the little lord. 'This is indeed news to us, said Lady Annabel; 'and what kind of people are they?
She's got a Jane, and a switch, too it's about the color of yours and she'll pin it on your pillow fix it up so that if Fraulein suspects anything and takes a peek in your room she'll swear you're sleeping like a baby." Blue Bonnet fairly gasped. "Oh, we haven't been here three years for nothing, let me tell you," Annabel confessed. "You need all your wits." "How am I going to wake up?"
She would send you to your room and you'd go a heap quicker than you would for Fraulein." "I think I'll go anyway. Oh, there's a knock!" Annabel opened the door a crack. "May I come in, Annabel?" It was Mrs. White's voice, and Annabel was obliged to open the door. Mrs. White looked at Blue Bonnet. "I think I'll have to escort Miss Ashe to her room and show her the rules," she said, smiling.
