She worked at the table behind me about four days. “Y'know”—Irene has a salon air—“y'know, I jus' can't stand steppen on these soft chocolates. Nobody knows how I suffer. It just goes through me like a knife.” She spent a good part of each day scraping off the bottoms of her French-heeled shoes with a piece of cardboard. It evidently was too much for her nerves. She is no more.
"It has been written it will continue to be written, but to-day marriage needs to be aided by modern " she hesitated, and looked at Mrs. Banks for the word. "Methods," Mrs. Banks supplied, promptly, "housemaids, cooks, autos, theatres, jewelry and chocolates." "You put it so aptly, my dear," Mrs. Trenton smiled, as she patted her pearl bracelet, Mr. Trenton's last offering on the hymeneal altar.
But at that instant Grace, at a signal from Mollie, darted ahead, and then the race began in earnest, for Amy, at a nod from the Little Captain did likewise, and then Mollie and Betty, holding themselves in readiness for the burst of speed that would take place at the finish, came after. "Now they're off!" cried Will. "A pound of chocolates to the winner!"
Quin set his jaw and shuffled ignominiously off to bed, thankful for once that he had been considered unworthy a second glance from those luminous brown eyes. His satisfaction, however, was short-lived. A moment later the young lady appeared at the far end of the ward, carrying an absurd little basket adorned with a large pink bow, from which she began to distribute chocolates.
The delicate attentions which are showered upon her are the envy of every spinster on the street who does not know the true state of the affair. Sometimes, with indifferent generosity, she divides her roses and invites the less fortunate to share her chocolates. This always pleases the man, if he knows about it.
"But, however, that's enough I'm going away!" "Go away, do me that favour! I've ten roubles lying there, near the mirror, in a little box from chocolates take them for yourself. I don't need them, anyway. Buy with them a tortoise powder box with a gold setting for your mamma; and if you have a little sister, buy her a good doll. Say: in memory from a certain wench that died. Go on, little boy!"
He was in the act of opening a large case, sent out, so the label declared, by Fuller, and Kalliope had carried down to the boat a huge box of chocolates. It was the sight of that boat perhaps, too, the thought of the chocolates which spurred Mr. Phillips to tell his tale in spite of all discouragement.
Their total effort for all the ceremonies of the day before, and years to come, rather appalled me to think of. Bravo! Public Servants, who work for honour and the Empire; how will the Socialist fill your places when he is on top. As before, gorgeously apparelled scarlet turbaned waiters gave us champagne, and native princes hemmed the tables for it, and chocolates.
"Oh, you NICE donkeys!" said the recipient of these varied gifts, lying back and investigating the chocolates. A sound at the window made her look up, and Jim's laughing face peeped round the curtain. "Like 'em?" "They're lovely," said Norah, fervently. "Come in, Jimmy, you old duffer. Merry Christmas!" Jim came in, immensely tall and lean in his pyjamas, and sat down on the bed.
"She will come some time, darling." Robert sat eying the two with intensest pity. "Do you like chocolates, Amabel?" he asked. The child repeated that she wanted her mother still, as with a sort of mechanical regularity of grief, but she fastened her eyes on him. "Because I am going to send you a big box of them to-morrow," said Robert. Amabel turned to Ellen. "Does he mean it?" she asked.
