It had seemed the beginning of some vaguely dreamed-of progress toward a life of beauty and achievement, but it was two weeks ago now, and its glamour was fading. True, Christopher Liggett had come into Biretta's bookstore, with Leslie, and he and Norma had talked together for a few minutes, and Leslie had extended her Aunt Alice's kind invitation for tea.
A year ago, she reminded herself, it would have seemed Paradise to have had even a week's freedom from the bookshop; now, she need never step into Biretta's again! But it was not enough, and Norma would come impatiently to the end of her pondering with the same fretted sense of dissatisfaction.
I wish to the Lord that your mother was a little bit more trusting with her confidences, but when it all comes out it'll prove to be some sister of your grandfather who married a tailor or something, and left a line of pretty girls to work in Biretta's " "But, Chris, she reminded me so of Annie to-day I almost felt sick," Alice said, still frightened and dubious.
She would not have shortened the old lady's life by a single second, and she would have died herself rather than betray this thought to any one, even to Wolf even to Rose! But it suddenly seemed to her very unjust that she could be picked out of Biretta's bookstore to-day, by Aunt Marianna's pleasure, and perhaps put back there to-morrow through no fault of her own.
And Norma here works in a bookstore, up the Avenue a bit, Biretta's." "Why, I go in there nearly every week!" the old lady said. "She told me the other night that she had been selling some books to Mr. Christopher Liggett, and that's Miss Alice's husband, I hear," said Mrs. Sheridan.
