"You'll have to do it up some other way." "Pin it up somehow, then, and see what you can do," said Bella. "I'm sick and tired of it." Lilac was not quite without experience in such things, for she had often helped her cousins with their dressmaking, and she now succeeded after a few trials in looping up the skirt to Bella's satisfaction. "That's off my mind, thank goodness!" she exclaimed.
And if you admit you are an idiot, I am not. I I know all about Bella's bracelet and the board on the roof, and oh, if you would only leave Anne's necklace on the coal, or somewhere and get away " My voice got beyond me then, and I dropped into a chair and covered my face. I could feel him staring at the back of my head.
If it isn't very brown, ma, I can't eat it, and must have a bit put back to be done expressly. However, as it was brown, even to Bella's taste, the young lady graciously partook of it without reconsignment to the frying-pan, and also, in due course, of the contents of the two bottles: whereof one held Scotch ale and the other rum.
And every moment I expected that awful old woman to ask me what I paid my cook, and when I had changed the color of my hair Bella's being black. Dinner was a half hour late when we finally went out, Jimmy leading off with Aunt Selina, and I, as hostess, trailing behind the procession with Mr. Harbison. Dallas took in the two Mercer girls, for we were one man short, and Max took Anne.
Well, on the second anniversary of Bella's departure, Jimmy was feeling pretty glum, and as I say, I am very fond of Jim. The divorce had just gone through and Bella had taken her maiden name again and had had an operation for appendicitis.
Coventry looked after her slender black figure, just vanishing through the great gate, and an uncomfortable fancy took possession of him, born of Bella's careless words. He sauntered away, and after eluding his cousin, who seemed looking for him, he turned toward the Hall, saying to himself, I will see what is going on up here. Such things have happened.
His immediate pressing necessity struck like a pulse through all the chords of dismal conjecture. His heart flying about for comfort, dropped at Emilia's feet. "Bella's right," he said, reverting to the green page in his hand; "we can't involve others in our scrape, whatever it may be."
Costello said, "that was one of the things which alarmed me. I did not tell her till some time after that; not, indeed, until after Bella's marriage." "Poor child! and then for this terrible trouble to come! No wonder you are both changed." "Do you think her changed?" Mrs. Costello asked in alarm. "She has been so brave."
Still, he told himself, he was not going to marry the whole family; which might be true in a sense and yet might not mean the entire independence it implied. Bella's relations must, if he made her his wife, mean more or less to him. However, youth is sanguine, and Jack Chetwynd did not look too closely at the thorns which hedged his dainty rose-bud round.
I'm afraid I shall get melancholy, that is the beginning of the end for us, you know." As Bella spoke the light died out of her eyes, and they grew despairing with the gloom of a tragic memory. Christie drew the beautiful, pathetic face clown upon her bosom, longing to comfort, yet feeling very powerless to lighten Bella's burden. But Christie's little daughter did it for her.
