But we cannot, only Sundays and we have to change them after Sunday-school and when we wear our best clothes for white visitors. Cordelia Running Bird will not wear the government shoes because her father is an agency policeman, and can buy store shoes for every day." "I was always much ashamed of my big feet, and now I am more ashamed," complained the largest girl.
"You must choose Dolly half the time if Susie plays." "She is too bad-looking," said a third. "Susie has two pairs of pretty shoes, and two nice dresses, and we like her better." "But you must not talk that way before the larger girls," Cordelia cautioned in an undertone. "Doily has a new hair ribbon like the red one I have bought for Susie both are in my lap.
But," he added, with a queer little smile, "I wasn't going to tell you so, you know." "Of course you wasn't," exclaimed Mr. Gilton, hurriedly, with a touch of that unholy excitement that a lapse from grammar imparts. "We wouldn't any of us," asserted Walter. "No," said Susan, Fanny, and Cora Cordelia. Then it came out that the whole family had rather admired the dog than otherwise.
Not even the figure of Lear holding the dead body of Cordelia surpasses in tragic intensity this old pair whose whole life has for so long revolved about their son. And the novel closes with the scene in the little village churchyard, where the aged couple, supporting each other, visit the tomb, and wipe away the dust from the stone.
She came into Aunt Cordelia's room one afternoon. "There's to be a dancing club on Friday evenings," she explained, "and I'm invited."

I believe the fellow did it on purpose. However, it was very funny, and my rubber-soled arctics probably prevented my either coasting straight across into the open fireplace, or having a nasty fall, while the laugh that the announcement created on the part of my host, Archie Martin, saved me from an awkward moment, for from a sort of gilt throne-like arrangement at one side of the hearth, arrayed in brocaded satin gowns cut very low and very long, heads crimped to a crisp, and fastened to meagre shoulders by jewelled collars, the whole topped by a group of three 'Prince of Wales' feathers, Cordelia and her sister came forward two steps to greet me.

"How spiteful of you, when Lady Grenellen was trying to arrange for your future happiness!" "Nothing of the kind. You don't know Cordelia. She is only afraid I shall shut up Myrlton, or let it, and she amuses herself a good deal there. She thought if I had a rich wife her opportunities would oftener occur. I can only keep it open in the autumn now." "Oh, you are a wonderful company!" I laughed.
"If only one of them had thought to say a kind word to me!" flashed again through Eva's mind. "Go on, go on; what are you lagging for?" whispered Alice, as Eva's pace faltered here. Eva's eyes were fixed upon Cordelia, who had crossed the room and was going towards the door. "Go on, go on; you are stopping us all!" exclaimed Alice, impatiently.
