Somewhat doggedly, but anxious to get out of her predicament, Miss Calthea took her position at the wheel and put one foot upon an almost horizontal spoke. Ida did the same, and then giving the word, both women raised themselves from the ground; Mrs.
Beam's greeting was very free and unceremonious, and without being asked to do so he took a seat near the proprietress of the establishment. "Well, well," he said, "this looks like old times. Why, Calthy, I don't believe you have sold a thing since I was here last." "If you had any eyes in your head," said Miss Calthea, severely, "you would see that I have sold a great deal.
It was Calthea Rose who had spoken, and she stood under the window in company with Mr. and Mrs. Petter. A short distance away, and rapidly approaching, were Mrs. Cristie and Walter Lodloe. "Here is gratitude!" cried Calthea, in stinging tones. "I came all the way back from Lethbury to see if anything had happened to you and that horse, and this is what I find.
Cristie, full of the humor of the situation, hastened to answer. "It is my nurse-maid," she said, "Ida Mayberry." "A child's nurse!" ejaculated Miss Calthea Rose. "Yes," said Mrs. Cristie; "that is what she is." "I expect," said Mrs. Petter, "that he is teaching her Greek, and of course it's hard for her at the beginning. Mr.
But, after thinking over the matter, she changed her mind, and concluded that at times like this we should all be pleasant and good-natured towards one another; so she sat down and wrote a letter to Miss Calthea, which she sent to the expectant bride that very afternoon. The missive ran thus: MY DEAR MISS ROSE: I have seen so little of Mr.
"You're off the track there, Calthy, I never knew a man with a better skull than Mr. Tippengray, and as to his being old there is a little gray in his hair to be sure, but it's my opinion that that comes more from study than from years." "Nonsense!" said Calthea; "I don't believe he cares a snap for study unless he can do it with some girl. I expect he has been at that all his life."
They did not walk very far, but stood barely out of hearing of the persons on the piazza; her eyes sparkling up into his face, as his helpful words took root in her understanding. At the instant of the appearance of the maid Ida Miss Calthea Rose stopped talking. Her subsequent glances towards this young woman and Mr. Tippengray might have made one think of steel chilled to zero. Mrs.
Lanigan whistled. "Calthy," said he, "would you mind my smoking a cigar here! There will be no customers coming in." "You know very well you cannot smoke here," she said; "what is the matter with you? Has that pincushion-faced child's nurse driven you from the inn?" A pang went through Lanigan. Was Calthea jealous of Miss Mayberry on his account? The thought frightened him.
But I want other people to think well of me in a general way, and when Calthea and Tippengray have settled things between them, and are traveling on the Continent, which they certainly ought to do, I'll start in business, and take my place as one of the leading citizens of Lethbury; and, as things look now, all will be plain sailing if Mrs.
When Lodloe and Beam reached Lethbury, the latter proposed that they should go and worry Calthea Rose; and to his companion's surprised exclamation at being asked to join in this diversion Lanigan answered, that having been used to that sort of thing all his life, it seemed the most natural sport in which to indulge now that he found himself in Lethbury again.
