Even the yellow cats of Miss Camilla's famous breed, inheriting the love of their ancestors for following the steps of their mistress, came presently between the box rows with the soft, sly glide of the jungle, and established themselves for a siesta on the arbor bench.
It might have seemed difficult to understand what the child found to enjoy in this quiet entertainment, but in childhood all situations which appeal to the imagination give enjoyment, and most situations which break the routine of daily life do so appeal. Then, too, Camilla's quiet persistence in her own employment gave a delightful sense of equality and dignity to the child.
But I know one thing: this is going to be Camilla's home. There'll be no leaving it even when she does get well. She shall be my daughter, and I'll love her next to Missy." Ted's Afternoon Off Ted was up at five that morning, as usual. He always had to rise early to kindle the fire and go for the cows, but on this particular morning there was no "had to" about it.
She carried a ruffled green silk parasol to shield herself from the sun, though her hat had a wide brim and flapped low over her eyes. Her mother had remonstrated with her for going out in the heat, since she had not looked quite well of late. "You will make your head ache," said she. "It is so cool in Aunt Camilla's north room," pleaded Lucina, and had her way.
We found the doctor and the sculptor. The hotel was informed that Camilla was ill, and that the symptom pointed to typhoid fever. Naturally, she kept her room. That day the sculptor, a young American, who said that a thing was 'bully' when he meant it was good, arrived, and took a mask of Camilla's head.

In the printed book of the libretto a chorus of cavaliers, followed by one harmless verse of Camilla's adieux to them, and to her husband and life, concluded the opera. 'Let her stop at that it's enough! and she shall be untouched, said General Pierson to Antonio-Pericles. 'I have information, as you know, that an extremely impudent song is coming.
Sidney passed his hand over his eyes, wrung the hand of his brother once more, and in a moment was by Camilla's side. Another shout the whirl of the wheels the trampling of feet the distant hum and murmur and all was still.
There Squire Eben was about to part with Jerome, with more words of reassurance, when suddenly he remembered that his sister needed such a boy to weed her flower-beds, and had spoken to him about procuring one for her. So he had bidden Jerome follow him; and the boy, who would at that moment have gone over a precipice after him, went to Miss Camilla's tea-drinking in her arbor.
Beaufort, "always crying when they ought to be of use to one. Go down, dry your eyes, do as I tell you, get all you can from him. Fear him! yes, I dare say she does!" muttered the poor man, as he closed the door. From that time what wonder that Camilla's manner to Vaudemont was yet more embarrassed than ever: what wonder that he put his own heart's interpretation on that confusion.
Marietta had endured this torture silently; she denied herself the consolation of complaining to any one; she had the courage, with smiling lips, to dispute the truth of Camilla's narratives, and to accuse her of slander; she would have conviction, she longed for proof, and Camilla, excited by her incredulity, promised to give it.
