Fogg will take Clara Belle, for it will be splendid to look at! Mr. Cobb is going to be Uncle Sam and drive us on the stage. Miss Dearborn Clara Belle's old teacher, you know is going to be Columbia; the girls will be the States of the Union, and oh, Mr. Simpson, I am the one to be the State of Maine!" Mr. Simpson flourished the whipstock and gave a loud, hearty laugh.
"Anna Belle's pond will overflow, I think," said Jewel, looking out the window musingly. "And how good for the ferns," remarked her mother. "Yes, I'd like to be there, now," said the child. "Oh, I think it's much cosier here. I love to hear the rain, too, don't you?" "Yes, I do, and we'll have the story now, won't we, mother?"
The thoughts of her employer were of quite a different character. He gave her a look of bold admiration, and said familiarly, "By Jupiter, but you are a daisy!" Belle's manner changed instantly.
Sometimes, when the invalid was captious and showed too plainly that she preferred Belle's playing and singing to the musical efforts of her own daughter, and scrawled impatient questions about Belle's return, Mary Hope would wonder if Tom Lorrigan really hated her, and if her coming had practically driven him out of his own home.
It's a look here, a gesture there, a laugh anywhere, and Henry Irving's face everywhere!" Miss Winifred Emery came to us for "The Belle's Stratagem" and played the part that I had played years before at the Haymarket. She was bewitching, and in her white wig in the ball-room, beautiful as well. She knew how to bear herself on the stage instinctively, and could dance a minuet to perfection.
The "wet houses" were on the main gulch, the "dry" ones in off nooks, or perched on breezy hills. To the best of these latter the doctor drove, had the luck to find the owner still on duty, and secured a room for himself. Then they drove to the home of Belle's aunt, Mrs. Collins. One has to take a hotel on its rules; but a relative may be called up and inconvenienced at any time.
"It is great nonsense," said Belle, reddening; "however, as you came to see me, and ask the matter as a particular favour to yourself " "Thank you, madam," said Mrs. Petulengro, leading Belle to the stool; "please to sit down here. Thank you; your hair is very beautiful, madam," she continued, as she proceeded to braid Belle's hair; "so is your countenance.
Mary was not naturally fond of children, and, having entered our family full-grown, she found it hard to put up with the freaks of our six, there being no foundation of sisterly love upon which to build toleration. Belle's housekeeping had always been lavish. She ordered her groceries wholesale, and when they were done never inquired what had become of them.
The most prominent men of the city frequented Belle's at other times openly, without fear of public opinion many of them merely for the sense of freedom and relaxation they there enjoyed. Everybody was welcome. Keith, however, knowing the character of the place, had never been inside its doors. Now, enveloped in his rosy haze, exceedingly contented with his company, he followed where they led.
"I'll have a good home and father can't keep us all; but it's kind of dreadful to be given away, like a piano or a horse and carriage!" Rebecca's hand went out sympathetically to Clara Belle's freckled paw. Suddenly her own face clouded and she whispered: "I'm not sure, Clara Belle, but I'm given away too do you s'pose I am? Poor father left us in debt, you see.
