Dane; and a variety of little things from the young people, with whom Bea was a favorite. As soon as Mr. Congreve and Olive arrived, on the evening train, they were taken in to view "the show," but the old gentleman added nothing to it, to every one's surprise; though he seemed pleased with everything there, and said it was a plenty for one bride.
Hayden pottered over this incident or that, dawdling through long-winded tales of travel, and when his recollection or invention flagged Mrs. Habersham introduced topics so inimical to Mrs. Ames' frequently aired views that this lady rose passionately to the fray. Woman's Suffrage, Socialism, the Decline of the Church, Bea, a conservative, flung upon the table and Mrs.
Usually, Bea would have taken up her sister's cause, and uttered some conclusive defence, but now she felt abused, and didn't care much what was said of anybody, so after a moment, Ernestine went on "I wish I knew the 'German, I'm going to ask Dell to teach me, she does it beautifully.
Kat sent an expressive wink and nod of her head to Kittie and Bea, while Olive answered: "There is a small one, I believe, where you might find something." "Perhaps they'd loan you their wheel-barrow," added Kat, who found herself in a fair way of liking this distant relative, in spite of his usurping what she termed the family position.
Lila sat up in swift attention and winked away her tears. "Said what?" "Oh, nothing much." Bea wriggled. "Just talking." "I insist." "Oh, well, it doesn't signify. I was only thinking " Bea paused again before blurting out. "She said that roommates are good for the character."
His genial tone, and winning smile were very taking, and made every one feel acquainted at once, so Bea pushed an easy chair forward, saying with a smile: "We'll try hard to be grateful, Cousin Ralph. Come, take this easy chair and deliver your messages, you see we're anxious." He did so, holding up a splendid copy of Dante.
"Jessica and the rest of us are choosing mottoes to live out just for experiment this week. Elizabeth: "envieth not." "Jessica says hers is the easiest because it means just to keep from hating anybody, and she loves the whole college." "Oh, I didn't mean to read it." Bea almost clapped her hand over her impetuous eyes. "Robbie," she broke into a run, "Robbie Belle, here is something you dropped."
Scream scream all together. Ah!" The footsteps were coming down the alleyway toward the door. Bea filled her lungs, and opened her mouth in valiant preparation. "Wee-wee-wee, bow-wow!" Two little paws scratched at the door. Bea's breath issued in a feeble squeak, as she dropped neatly down upon the floor and buried her face in her hands. Berta swooped upon her. "The puppy!"
"That's the very valentine that big, square envelope in her hand this instant! She sent it to herself " Bea saw Saint Valentine read aloud the name, and then stop short, staring at the address in a puzzled way. She turned the envelope over to examine its back, and study the waxen seal. Suddenly she bent her head in the delighted laughter that Bea once had thought so charming.
What exhausted her was the sight of Bea and Olaf turned into flaccid invalids, uncomfortably flushed after taking food, begging for the healing of sleep at night. During the second week Olaf's powerful legs were flabby. Spots of a viciously delicate pink came out on his chest and back. His cheeks sank. He looked frightened. His tongue was brown and revolting.
