Billie watched him until he disappeared down the avenue of flowering trees, then, brushing her hand across her eyes, she turned and went into the house. Sallie Bailey looked up with a twinkle from the shirt she was patching. "Well, carita, did he?" she demanded with much interest. "Did he what?" Billie paused at the foot of the stairs. "Did he say anything?" "Oh, a heap.
We can slip down-stairs no one will hear us, and " "Carita! You don't know what you are talking about. It's twenty minutes after twelve this instant. Don't you ever think you could get out of this house without Aunt Lucinda's knowing it. She sleeps with one eye open. No that won't do. Can't you think of something else?" "Yes " Carita answered after a moment. "You write the note.
She was wondering how she could make Alec understand that she was sorry for having been so disagreeable; that she should miss him terribly during the rest of the vacation. She had turned the matter over in her mind for the twentieth time without coming to any definite conclusion when Alec began saying good-by. "I'm going to turn Blue Bonnet and Carita over to Knight's care," she heard him saying.
"You will leave Miss Judson to the care of Mrs. Goodwin and Doctor Giles for the present. As soon as there is the slightest cause for alarm your aunt will be notified. You may go now." In the hall Blue Bonnet met Mary Boyd. "How's Carita?" Mary asked. "Have they found out what's the matter with her?" "No. The doctor can't tell yet." "What doctor?" "I think his name is Giles." "Doctor Giles!
Isabel has the sweetest new way of spelling her name. Isobel! You say it quickly like this Isobel! Mary Boyd thought of it. I do wish I could find a new way to say Carita, but it seems hopeless." "Carita! just you let me catch you changing it. Isobel! Why, that's perfectly absurd!" "Not when you get used to it. Peggy thinks it's distinguished. I do too. Peggy has taken up her own middle name.
When she had finished Professor Howe was silent for a moment. "Did you ever think, Miss Ashe," she said presently, "what a chaotic, unpleasant place this world would be without law, and order, and discipline?" Blue Bonnet had to confess that she had not thought much about it. "Think now, for a moment. Take the case of your friend, Carita.
Edith Gaines was a pretty little woman, petite, light of hair, dainty, the very type of woman who craved for and thrived on attention. Here at least there seemed to be no lack of it. There was only one other woman in the room who attracted the men equally, Carita Belleville herself. Carita was indeed a stunning woman, tall, slender, dark, with a wonderful pair of magnetic eyes.
"I didn't think, Blue Bonnet really, I didn't." "Of course you didn't. And I didn't mean to remind you; it just slipped out. Sometimes it does, when I see girls crying for their mothers and I remember that I shall never have mine. Now, don't cry please don't. Where's Mary?" Through her tears Carita smiled. "She and Peg Jerusha Austin are down in the office. Fraulein is after them again.
At the top of the stairs wedged in, obstructing the passage, sat Carita and Mary. They fell upon Annabel and Blue Bonnet regardless of their finery. "A kiss! A kiss!" they cried. "You've got to pay toll!" A forfeit willingly given. "I can hardly wait until five o'clock," Mary said. "I'm dying to get Annabel's flowers for her."
"I think that my aunt should be notified at once." Blue Bonnet did not realize in her excitement that her tone was a bit dictatorial. "We are responsible for Carita, and " "Miss Judson will have every attention, Miss Ashe. She is in no immediate danger. I shall notify Miss Clyde as soon as I think it necessary." "You mean that you will not notify her to-day?" "Hardly to-day."
