I was playing ball with Jennie and Charlie before our lessons today when the party started out with the dog-teams, for the nights are very moonlight and clear, and they can travel for many hours. A cousin of Mollie's, by name Ageetuk, went with her. Jennie is to stay with her auntie until her mamma's return, and I will give her the afternoon lessons just the same, only at her auntie's house.
Auntie Clara protested, laughingly showing her fine teeth and gazing first at Darius, and then at Edwin, from under her spectacles, her head being thrown back and the curls hanging far behind. "No one shall say that Edwin doesn't work, not even his father, while his auntie's about! Because I know he does work! And besides, he hasn't gone down. It says, `position next term' not this term.
"Come right up," she heard him say. "I do believe he has brought the white girl," she said, clasping her hands; and, to be sure, when he opened the door, some one was behind him. "This is the nearest like you I could get," he said, and led forward some one in a grey frock and hat. Dimple screamed, "Why, it is Florence. Oh! papa, you didn't say you were going to auntie's!" "No.
I will take you to the little room up-stairs we call it the octagon. That you know is just under auntie's room. They will be at dinner the captain and grannie. I will leave you there, and tell auntie that you want to see her." "But, Judy, " "Don't you want to see her, Mr Walton?" "Yes, I do; more than you can think." "Then I will tell her so." "But will she come to me?" "I don't know.
"You will find your box all open up in auntie's parlor, and there you can amuse her and yourself by rummaging to your heart's content; I've got to be cruising round all the morning getting my room to rights," said Dr. Alec, as they rose from breakfast. "Can't I help you, uncle?" asked Rose, quite burning to be useful.
For the first hour or so, along the road, he was telling me all about his adventures at his auntie's. 'But they spoilt me too much, dad, he said, as solemn as a native bear. 'An' besides, a boy ought to stick to his parrans! I was taking out a cattle-pup for a drover I knew, and the pup took up a good deal of Jim's time.
And slowly the rims of Tilly's eyes and the tip of her nose reddened and swelled. "No, I can't picture it, Mary what it'ull be like 'ere without you," she said; and pulling out her handkerchief blew snort after snort, which was Tilly's way nowadays of having a good cry. "There, there, Baby, Auntie's only got the sniffles.
It was from Hilda Mason, saying that she could come on Friday next, as Cricket, with auntie's permission, had written, asking her to do, to spend a week. "Goody! goody!" cried Cricket, dancing around, with her dimples quite in evidence again. "Won't we have fun! and she can write a story for the 'Echo, too."
Peter answered immediately from the country house where he was spending the holidays. Susan read his letter in the office, two days after Christmas. DEAR PANSY IRENE: I see Auntie's fine Italian hand in this! You wait till your father gets home, I'll learn you to sass back! Tell Mrs. Lancaster that it's an imitation and came in a box of lemon drops, and put it on this instant!
Auntie opened her mouth to speak, but closed it without a sound; her eyes, with their most vacant stare, were turned upon her niece; she gathered her underlip loosely beneath her teeth. It was not until the servants, also aroused by the bell, but having waited to dress, came to Auntie's room, that Mrs Mellish was at liberty to run down to seek her husband.
