Camusot had just scolded her husband for allowing the President to read his thoughts. Marie Cecile Amelie Thirion, after three years of marriage, perceived the blessing of Heaven upon it in the regularity of two auspicious events the births of a girl and a boy; but she prayed to be less blessed in the future. A few more of such blessings would turn straitened means into distress.
"It drove me nearly wild to remember that my mother was really in the very same London, and I could not find her, and when I had got as far as a great bridge -I knew it was a bridge, for I saw the water running under it -I could bear my feelings no longer, and I just cried out like any little baby for my Mammie. "It was then, Cecile, that Mrs. Moseley found me. Oh! how good she was to me!
There came a pale, infernal flicker into Drene's eyes: "I'll take your commission for that altar piece," he said. "What is it? An Annunciation?" Composition had been determined upon, and the sketch completed by the middle of August; Cecile had sat for him every day from nine until five; every evening they had dined together at the seashore or other suburban and cool resorts.
Mrs. Moseley took her in her arms and carried her out. She saw wisely that she could bear no more. As they were leaving the hall, again there came a great burst of singing: "I love Jesus, Hallelujah! I love Jesus; yes, I do. I love Jesus, He's my Saviour; Jesus smiles and loves me too." Cecile had never anything more to say to the Salvation Army.
And now I am going to bed if everybody has had enough of Cissy's Bridge " "Me for the hay," observed Gray emphatically. So they all went up the stairway together, lingering a few moments on the landing to say good night. Cecile retired first, bewailing the humiliation of not having a maid of her own and requesting Shiela to send hers as she was too sleepy to undress.
'What do you want? she said defiantly, with the gesture and bearing of a tragic actress. She was, however, deadly white, and David, looking past her, saw that Cecile was lying wide awake in her little bed. 'Sandy wants to give Cecile her cake, he said quietly, 'and to tell her that he is sorry for striking her. He carried his boy up to Cecile. A smile flashed over the child's worn face.
Cecile, a red-haired young woman, with a touch of pedantic affectation, combined her father's ponderous manner with a trace of her mother's hardness. She went and left poor Pons face to face with the terrible Presidente. "How nice she is, my little Lili!" said the mother. She still called her Cecile by this baby name. "Charming!" said Pons, twirling his thumbs.
One or two of the inns even refused the children a night's lodging for money, and so disagreeable did those that did take them in make themselves that after the first night Cecile and Joe determined to sleep in the forest close by. it was now April, the weather was delicious, and in the forest of pines and oak trees not a breath of wind ever seemed to enter.
Very pointed was Camille's neglect of both Harry and me, to make herself lovely to the dark and diffident new-comer, while Estelle positively pursued me with compensatory sweetness; and Gregory, whenever he and I were alone together, labored to reassure me of his harmlessness by expatiating exclusively upon the charms of Cecile.
"But, Cecile, Cecile," began young Mme. Malet excitedly. So far she had got when the words, eager and important as they were, were stayed on her lips. There was a commotion outside.
