Gertrude felt the reproof in her mother's manner, but she tried to laugh the matter off. "Oh, I put it there just for fun," she said. "I thought the more parcels the better, and I happened to see that queer old thing, and thought it would make Cannie laugh." This explanation was not quite sincere. Gertrude had put the book on the table, hoping to tease Cannie.
Georgie said no more; she gave Cannie another kiss, and hurried away. What steps Mr. Gray took to get rid of Alexander, the girls never knew; but whatever they may have been, they were effectual. He disappeared from Newport the very next day, and neither Berry Joy nor Georgie ever saw or heard of him again.
It's nice enough now when there are not many people here; but after the season begins and the crowd, it isn't nice at all. You see all sorts of people that you don't know, and and well it isn't pleasant." "I can't think what you mean," declared Cannie, opening her eyes with amazement. "I'd just as soon there were twenty people on this rock, if I needn't look at them and they didn't talk to me.
Aunt Myra approved of Cannie especially, because she was "such a quiet child;" but I think Cannie's mother would rather have had her noisier. "She's a nice girl as I want to see," Aunt Myra was wont to tell her cronies. "She's likely-appearing enough, and that's better than being too pretty.
"Who can he be, Cannie?" asked Miss O'Driscol, "this person of such wonderful mystery? I have never seen him, but I wish I could." "Ay, have you, often I'll engage, Miss." "And so do I," added her father; "I wish to see him also, and to have everything mysterious cleared up."
Candace sat for a moment in silence, revolving these new ideas in her mind. "Cousin Kate," she said timidly, "will you tell me when I make little mistakes, like that about the knife? I'd like to learn to do things right if I could, and if it wouldn't trouble you too much." "Dear Cannie," and Mrs. Gray kissed her, "I will, of course; and I am glad you like to have me.
So upstairs they went, and the girls pounced on Cannie, and put a towel over her shoulders, and brushed out her curls, and tried this way and that, while Mrs. Gray sat by and laughed.
"God save you, neighbor! you forgot to wash your face this mornin'." "That's its natural color," replied M'Carthy, willing, now that he was out of all danger, to have a banter with his well-known friend the pedlar. "If you take my advice then," said the pedlar, "you'll paint it white it's a safer color in daylight at any rate. "Why, Cannie Soogah, is it possible you don't know me?"
Whoo!" he proceeded, cutting a caper more than a yard high, "show me the man now, that would dar to say bow to your beg pardon, ladies, I must be jinteel for your sakes that would dar, I say, to look crucked at you or one a' your family, and maybe the Cannie Soogah wouldn't rise the lap of his liver. Come, young ladies, shall I make my display?
