It was one of a pair of earrings, and they wondered where its mate might be, if indeed, it was yet in existence. "It would make a fine lavalliere," said Dolly, holding it up against her chest, and glancing in a nearby mirror. "See!" and she hooked the trinket into the lace at her throat, "isn't it becoming?" "Very," laughed Bernice, and turned to see what Dotty was now exclaiming over.
"I forgot I had to have milk and butter and sugar and a lot of things. Guess we can't do it." "Guess we can!" retorted Bernice, and she pushed a bell button. "Oh, Bernie!" exclaimed Dotty, "you oughtn't to call the maid so late! She'll be in bed." "Then she won't answer," said Bernice, calmly. But in a moment a maid did come, and smilingly listened to their requests.
All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't make me believe she'd stoop to such a thing as that nasty Bernice Howe insinuated. She's a maid of honor in every way!" The morning after the arrival of the rest of the bridal party, Betty was out of bed at the first sound of any one stirring in the servants' quarters.
"Do you think that was a very nice thing to say?" "I wasn't trying to be nice." Then after a pause: "When do you want to go?" Bernice drew in her breath sharply. "Oh!" It was a little half-cry. Marjorie looked up in surprise. "Didn't you say you were going?" "Yes, but " "Oh, you were only bluffing!" They stared at each other across the breakfast-table for a moment.
I don't care what he says. If Mr. Forbes doesn't think I took it, I don't want to say anything about Alicia." "Well, let's wait and see. After what you've just told me, I think she did take it. But I don't WANT to think that." Now, in the next room, Alicia and Bernice were talking confidentially and in low tones. "Of course, Dolly must have taken it," Alicia said, slowly.
I don't know much about feminine millinery, but I've a general idea of the fitness of things. And I'll bet a thousand dollars that these affairs are in better taste than the rigs you had on yesterday, though those were far gayer." "You do know a lot about it, Uncle," said Bernice. "These are way ahead of our best dresses, but it's because they came from a high class shop.
Four bunches of violets, with Marly Turner's card, had come to the house, and each fair damsel wore one at her corsage. Dolly's suit was of light blue cloth trimmed with silver fox, and Dotty's was red cloth with dark fur. Bernice looked very handsome in white cloth, and Alicia had chosen emerald green.
But I doubt if you are very much like her except in appearance. You look to me like a flibbertigibbet, if you know what that is." "Yes, and I am one, thank you, Uncle Jeff," and Alicia laughed gaily, not at all abashed at her uncle's remark. "These are my two friends from Berwick, uncle," said Bernice, introducing them. "Dolly Fayre and Dotty Rose."
Accordingly, thou hadst ordered their villages to be burnt, and a domestic servant of thine fell in the battle. And thou hadst certainly been punished at the command of Vespasian, had not king Agrippa, who had power given him to have thee put to death, at the earnest entreaty of his sister Bernice, changed the punishment from death into a long imprisonment.
Why, only to-day I was saying how I'd LOVE to live in New York, and how I HATED to go back to that old school! But I never dreamed of such a thing as this!" "Oh, it's just fine!" exclaimed Bernice. "I couldn't think of leaving father, and I'd rather live in the country anyhow " "I discovered that, Bernie, girl," said her uncle, seriously.
