Courage and gayety should go hand in hand! It is a beautiful May afternoon, we have a goodly deck beneath our feet, and, briefly, who is for a dance?" A huzza showed the popularity of the suggestion. Washington Artillery Lamb, the janitor and butler of the Annabel Lee, possessed an accordion on which he was an earnest and artistic performer.
'On his head, then, be the final desolation, said Lady Annabel; 'it is but a part of the lot that he has yielded me. 'I am silent, said Venetia, relaxing her grasp. 'I see that your child is not permitted to enter into your considerations. She turned away. 'Venetia! said her mother. 'Mother! said Venetia, looking back, but not returning. 'Return one moment to me.
'No. 'And where are you going next? 'I shall live in London. My travels are over, I think. 'We have heard that too often, said Annabel. 'Did you ever calculate how many miles you have travelled since you left Oxford? 'I have been a restless fellow, he admitted, regarding her with quiet scrutiny, 'but I dare say some profit has come of my wanderings. However, it's time to set to work.
Nigel Ennison was he." Anna stood up. Her cheeks were aflame. Her eyes were lit with smouldering passion. "Go on!" she commanded. "Let me know the truth." Annabel looked down. It was hard to meet that gaze. "Does he never speak to you of of old times?" she faltered. "Don't fence with me," Anna cried fiercely. "The truth!" Annabel bent over her and whispered in her sister's ear.
"Never," he exclaimed vehemently. "You are mine, Annabel, and nothing shall ever make me give you up." "But it is too late," she declared. "You have no right to hold me to a bargain which on your side was a lie. I consented to become Mrs. Meysey Hill never your wife." "What do you mean by too late?" he demanded. "There is some one else whom I care for!" He laughed hardly.
A certain affection had grown up between her and her uncle whilst she was at Ullswater, and the meeting under these dolefully changed conditions touched her best feelings. Yet with her cousin she was reserved; her behaviour did not bear out the evidence of latent tenderness and admiration contained in that letter of hers which we saw. Annabel had looked for something more.
"She can spout poetry without trying." "Small credit is due me," said Anne, smiling. "Anyone can twist 'Annabel Lee' to suit the occasion." "By the way, Anne," said Grace, "as you are a poet, you must compose a basketball song to-day, and I'll see that the juniors all have copies. It's time we had one. Let me see what would be a good tune?" "'Rally Round the Flag," suggested Miriam Nesbit.
"You propose, then," she remarked, "that I shall still be saddled with a pseudo husband. I think not, Annabel. You are welcome to proclaim yourself 'Alcide' if you will. I would even make over my engagement to you, if Mr. Earles would permit. But I should certainly want to be rid of Mr. Montague Hill, and I do not think that under those circumstances I should be long about it."
She was the confidante of all his domestic sorrows, and often he had requested her to exert her influence to obtain some pacifying missive from Lady Annabel, which might secure him a quiet evening at Cadurcis; and whenever this had not been obtained, the last words of Venetia were ever not to loiter, and to remember to speak to his mother as much as he possibly could.
"Thad always was such a good boy, Persis, but now I'm prepared for anything. I think she's capable of working him up to the point of running away with her." Again Persis proffered consolation. "I don't think so. Annabel Sinclair's what I call a feeble sinner. She reminds me of Joel when he was a little boy.
