This surprised Basil, who had imputed the young lady's personal sumptuousness to her dress, and had thought it enormously rich. When she got off with her chaperone at one of the poorest-looking country landings, she left them in hopeless conjecture about her. Was she visiting there, or was the interior of Canada full of such stylish and exquisite creatures?
She urged that her mistress must have been carried away in the Sea Hawk, and that as the Ione was going in search of that vessel, her services would certainly be required when she was recovered, which she felt positive she would be, as she would serve as a chaperone to Ada, should he be blessed by finding her. Fleetwood was glad to take her with him.
Rolleston was then invariably detailed by the Colonel for chaperone duty, and sat shivering on the platform while Cecil was being initiated in the mysteries of "Dutch rolls" and "outside edge." On one of these occasions she was roused by a well-known voice calling her by name, and turned round in joyful surprise to greet a young man just come in. "My dear Bertie, were have you sprung from?
"Besides," he cried, with ingenuous privilege, "who's goin' to chaperone Miss Howe?" Hilda stood in the midst. Tall, in violet velvet, she had a flush that made her magnificent; her eyes were deep and soft.
Then they flew to ask Miss Anderson to be their chaperone, a duty that young woman assumed cordially, and before bedtime Betty had written Bob a note to say that they would be over Friday afternoon about half-past four. Watched a little enviously by the others, the eight piled into the school bus the next Friday afternoon.
As for Hal herself, she hastily tumbled into bed, still chuckling in huge enjoyment over her evening. "Those boys are just dears," was her thought, "and I wouldn't have missed Lady Bounce for the world. What a good thing Dudley was taken with paternal affection for that little fool Doris, and I had to have a chaperone.
"I really I really cannot consent without a chaperon," began the Prophet. "The wife of Malkiel the Second needs no chaperone," retorted Madame. "This night has altered my condition I stand from henceforth far beyond the reach of etiquette. The world knows me now and will not dare to carp. Carpe dies."
Miss Prettyman as a chaperone probably killed any desire Ada had to go shopping." The scouts came back after fifteen or twenty minutes to report that they had discovered the invaders camped under a large oak tree and preparing to open the boxes. "They were laughing and saying how they'd put one over on you," said Gilbert Lane. "Well, they won't laugh long," retorted Bob grimly.
My companions were Colonel Rutherford, Dr. James Evans, Lieutenant Hugh Farley, Captains Nance, Cary, and Watts, with Adjutant Pope as our chaperone. Words fail me here in giving a description of the dinner, as well as of the handsome young ladies that our young hostess had invited from the surrounding country to help us celebrate.
The deux-temps, they say is coming back. May the day be far ahead when that step reigns once more! Perhaps before then I shall be converted into a chaperone, and shall sit watching others dance, not being able to do so myself; or, perhaps worse, not being asked myself. I am afraid I should not make a nice chaperone. I should look very cross, and should hurry away as early as possible.
