"The little one looks delicate," commented the younger Mrs. Beekman when they had driven away. "I'm afraid she doesn't run and play enough. But she's beautifully behaved. And what a fancy father took to her!" "Miss Underhill doesn't seem like a real country girl," said another. "The Underhills are a good family all through, English descent from some Lord Underhill.
Then there came another small fall of snow to whiten up the streets and make the air gayer than ever with bells. The Morgan cousins had to go down and call on Miss Dolly Beekman, and were very favorably impressed with her. The little girl went with them to Cherry Street and had "just a beautiful time with the kitty," she told her mother.
Thus, without her knowing it, Miss Beekman was an essential witness and, in fact, the pivot upon which the entire case turned. The day of the great sporting event came. With it arrived in full panoply the McGurks, their relatives and followers. All Cherry Hill seemed to have packed itself into Part I of the Supreme Court. There was an atmosphere somehow suggestive of the races or a prize fight.
Her slippers were white kid, her gloves had just a cream tint, and Miss Cynthia brought her own opera cloak, which was light brocaded silk, wadded and edged with swans-down. Joe looked just splendid, the little girl decided. If she could only have seen Dolly! The Beekman coach was sent up for Margaret, who kissed her little sister and went off like Cinderella!
I never stopped being afraid of you till I found out that in reality you were afraid of me. You know you are. You are afraid of all women." "He isn't a bit afraid of women," affirmed Leonore.

When she was joined in holy wedlock to Beekman De Peyster, her father and mother heaved a sigh of satisfaction, and settled down for a quiet vacation in Cherry Valley. "It is not exactly a fault," he said, "not a positive fault, you know. It is just a kind of a defect, due to her education, of course.
She shook her head, arguing, and so they reached the corner of Beekman Place again and turned into it and went straight toward the house opposite that of John Mark. Still the girl argued, but it was in a whisper, as if she feared that terrible John Mark might overhear. In the home of John Mark, that calm leader was still with Ruth Tolliver.
They found that the room in the house on Beekman Place, opposite that which they felt covered their quarry, could be secured, and they were shown to it by a quiet old gentlewoman, found a big double room that ran across the whole length of the house.
Dewey in Broadway opposite Eighth Street, the very same society now established in Lexington Avenue, with Mr. Collyer as minister. The subsequent courses were delivered in Clinton Hall, corner of Nassau and Beekman, the site now occupied by one of our modern mammoth buildings. I forget how much we were charged admission, except that a ticket for the whole course cost three dollars.
"You'll have to grow fast now to keep up with your dignity. Well, is he Beekman Dutch or Underhill English?" "He's just lovely. His eyes are blue as the sky." "Hurrah for Steve! Well, that was a Christmas!" Her father was coming with the two cousins, and she ran up-stairs to wish them Merry Christmas and tell her father what she thought of the baby.
