"There is nothing I despise so much as a heartless woman of fashion." "Such an individual is certainly, not much to be admired, Henry. But there is a vast difference you must recollect, between a lady who regards the prevailing mode of dress and a heartless woman, be she attired in the latest style, or in the costume of the times of good queen Bess.
She broke the crystal of Bess's watch and by feeling the hands carefully made out that the time was half past six. "That's half past six at night, not in the morning, I suppose," said Bess lugubriously. "But, oh, my! I am as hungry as though it were day-after-to-morrow's breakfast time." "Oh, we'll get out of here after a while," said Rhoda cheerfully.
Then the bell called him back to the stand. They did not get away at first, and back they trooped. A second trial was a failure. But at the third they were off in a line as straight as a chalk-mark. There were Essex and Firefly, Queen Bess and Mosquito, galloping away side by side, and Black Boy a neck ahead.
Well, that word scarcely indicated the character of Mr. Hesitation Kane. "Come on!" shouted Rhoda, looking back at her friends, and evidently not at all surprised that the driver of the buckboard did not at once reply to her questions. "Mrs. Janeway, and Nan, and Bess, and Gracie you all crowd into the buckboard. Walter and I are going to ride. Got my duds here, Hess?" It was lucky Mr.
At a table where the light was clearest, sat a frail-looking girl, with a thin face, big eyes, and pale hair, a dreamy, absorbed little person, who bent over a block, skillfully wielding her tools. "Becky and Bess, how do you do? This is my friend, Fanny Shaw. We are out on a rampage; so go on with your work, and let us lazy ones look on and admire."
'A whole Indian dress for me! Now I can play Namioka, if the boys act Metamora, added Josie, clapping her hands. 'A buffalo's head for Bess! Good gracious, Dan, why did you bring such a horrid thing as that to her? asked Nan. 'Thought it would do her good to model something strong and natural.
How thoughtful o' the lad! Just like 'im, as I said it war!" "We bess swim for de cask an' take 'im in tow," suggested the sea-cook; "no harm hab 'im 'longside too. If de wind 'pring up, de ole chess be no use much. De cask de berry ting den." "You're right, Snowy! we musn't leave the cask behind us. If the kit have served us a good turn, the other 'ud be safer in a rough sea.
I know it is not in your nature to mean unkindly to anyone, least of all to me, to whom you have been an angel of light; but all practical jokes of that kind are liable to inflict pain and humiliation upon the victim however innocently meant. Whose idea was it, Bess? Not yours, I think? 'No; it was Urania who proposed it. She said it would be such fun. 'Miss Rylance is not usually so funny.
As to her acting with boys before the assembled households, the proposal seemed to them absolutely insulting to any daughter of the Talbot line, and they had by this time forgotten that she was no such thing. Bess Cavendish, the special spoilt child of the house, even rode down, armed with her mother's commands, but her feudal feeling did not here sway Mistress Susan.
Rod was delighted with the Flying Queen, and wading in the water to his knees, he sailed her along the shore. The captain had a pickerel net to look after, which kept him busy for some time. But he missed scarcely anything that Rod was doing, and he was greatly pleased at the boy's delight. "Pull her ashore now, lad," he at length ordered, "and let's go fer a sail." "What, in the Roaring Bess?"
