I don't want him he's a stupid noodle that's what he is. Edith's better-looking than I am. Any one can see that with half an eye, and when I was sick on that horrid ship, she had everything her own way. I did my best yes I did, pa and I think it's a little too hard to be scolded in this way, with my poor sprained ankle and everything!" "Well, there, there, child!" exclaimed Mr.
He said casually, "She's an enough-sight better-looking specimen than her husband. However does it happen that the best-looking women are always caught by that sort of chimpanzees? How did she ever happen to marry 'Gene, anyhow?" The other man answered, literally. "I don't know how she did happen to marry him. She don't come from around here.
There were only two of them this time, Henrietta and Charles, better known, from one end of the town to the other, as Hen and Chas. The Cooneys, who were young people of about her own age, greeted Carlisle with their customary simple gaiety. Both exclaimed over her striking attire, Charles adding to his sister: "Let Uncle Dudley stand next to Cally there, Hen I'm better-looking than you, anyway."

She looked at herself in Cousin Kate's mirror as she passed it, and sighed. "Well, I am better-looking than when I left home," she thought. "That's one comfort. My face isn't freckled now, and my hair is more becoming this way than in tight little pigtails, the way I used to wear it."
Aunt Mary made no secret of the methods by which these seeming miracles were performed, and showed Cousin Eleanor Hanbury the fashion plates in the English periodicals. Cousin Eleanor sighed.
