While I have been writing this, Ivy Geer, light of heart, fleet of foot, and firm of will, has passed over hill-side, through wood-path, and across meadow-land, and drawn near the domains of Felix Clerron, Esq. Light of heart perhaps I scarcely ought to say.
If you want to get up there, I'll show you the way in the house, and you can step right out of the window. Just wait till I've told Ellen about the dinner." As Mrs. Simm disappeared, Mr. Clerron said softly to Ivy, "Come!" and in a moment Ivy bounded up the ladder and through an opening in the vine, and stood by his side. "I'm ready now, Miss Ivy," said Mrs. Simm, reappearing. "Miss Ivy!
Felix's father, he was a lawyer, and he got rich by speculation, and so the two girls always had on their high-heeled boots; but Mr. Clerron, he always laughs at them, and brings up "the grand-paternal shop," as he calls it, and provokes them terribly, I know.
Clerron, rich, learned, elegant, happy, on the current of whose life she only floated a pleasant ripple, and of herself, poor, plain, awkward, ignorant, to whom he was the life of life, the all in all. I would not have you suppose this passed through her mind precisely as I have written it. By no means.
The burden being of such a nature, it is not at all probable that Ivy would have assented to his proposition; but the welcome entrance of her mother prevented the necessity of replying. "Oh, you're awake! Well, I told Mr. Clerron he might come in, though I thought you wouldn't be. Slept well this morning, didn't you, deary, to make up for last night?" "No, mamma, I haven't been asleep."
I don't know why it was, for the walk couldn't have hurt her. She's always dancing round at home. I don't think she's been exactly well for four or five days. Her father and I both thought she'd been more quiet like than usual." The sudden pang that shot across Ivy's face was not unobserved by Mr. Clerron. A thought came into his mind. He had risen at Mrs.
"I? I should advise you to send for the doctor at once." Mr. Clerron laughed. "So you would not come and nurse me, and take care of me, and get me well again?" "No, because I should then be in danger of taking it myself and giving it to papa and mamma; besides, they would not let me, I am quite sure." "So you love your papa and mamma better than" He stopped abruptly. Ivy finished for him.
