He stood but a moment, responding blushingly to two or three trivial questions from her; yet even in so short a time, and although Clotilde gave ear with the sweetest smiles and loveliest changes of countenance, he experienced a lively renewal of a conviction that this young lady was most unjustly harboring toward him a vague disrelish, if not a positive distrust.
Of course," Betty admitted truthfully, "it didn't help Miss Butts any, unless it showed her that at Harding you've got to do your part, if you want a good time. She's certainly been a little more agreeable since. But Ruth Howard now why it would have been ages oh, I mean months," amended Betty blushingly, "before we should have known about her, unless Madeline had called for that speech."
He wanted to paint her; she was a magnificent model for a certain work he had in mind. He said it blushingly, stammering, but López laughed at his timidity and seemed disposed to protect him. "Oh, Pepita? A wonderful woman, in spite of the fact that she is on the decline. With all her school-girl face, if you could only see her at a party! She drinks like a fish. She's a terror!"
Then he became conscious that Tyke was looking on with some curiosity. "Oh, I forgot," he said. "Mr. Grimshaw, this is Miss Hamilton, Captain Hamilton's daughter. Miss Hamilton, this is Captain Grimshaw." Ruth held out her hand, but Tyke deliberately drew her to him and kissed her on the cheek. She extricated herself blushingly. "An old man's privilege, my dear," said Tyke placidly.
She was not used to such words; she blushingly faltered her thanks, and seemed quite grieved at the departure of this man, from whom she had expected some good luck for her husband. "The life of Paris has its secrets!" thought Zilah, as he slowly descended the stairs, which he had mounted in such a different frame of mind, so short a time before.
The liberty he thus sought with such grace and earnestness, was blushingly granted; not indeed, in express words, but with a silence equally intelligible and more eloquent than words. In five minutes after, Mr Mowbray was closeted, and in earnest conversation with Mr Adair. He had already announced his attachment to his daughter, and had sought his consent to their union.
He held it for a moment, while he looked into her eyes; then, as she blushingly withdrew her hand, he stammered: "I'm glad, Edith, you like farming the same as I do." "Well, it is interesting, Bob, and I do like it," she said, looking at him shyly. "What are you two doing in here with all those eggs?" asked Ruth, bursting suddenly in upon them.
"There's the horses coming from the smith's. I must look to them a minute. I'll be back again...." And he strode out. The two that remained felt as if the calm of a bright Sunday morning filled the room after a stormy night. Blushingly the girl hurried across to her lover, who came towards her; she flung her arms round his neck, and whispered: "Olof, I have never really known you until now!"
He sat up at the top end in stately glory, higher than the rest by the thickness of a Liddell and Scott, which was placed on his chair to lift him up to the required elevation, blushingly receiving the applause with which his song was greeted, and modestly volunteering to sing it again if the fellows liked. The fellows did like.
"Difficulty!" laughed Tom. "She said 'Yes' before I had stuttered out my little speech." "I couldn't bear to see you in such an agony of pain," blushingly replied his happy little wife. Ah, well, Tom deserves his happiness, because he makes those around him happy. Simon Slowden lives with Gertrude and me.
