I pressed it upon him, and finally left it on the table for him where I found it again this morning. He said that he had no right to it, leaving as suddenly as he did some crochet of that kind. I should think that Stretton could be very Quixotic if he chose." "When he writes," said Elizabeth, "you will send him the cheque, will you not, Uncle Alfred?
He says they are all right to sit around and do crochet work, but when strategy, brain, and muscle are required, then they can't get along without a man. He tries to unscrew the cover, and his thumb slips off and knocks the skin off the knuckle.
"It's quite natural, you know. For, really, she's an old dear, but a bit tiresome. If she goes she will knit or crochet the whole blessed time, no matter what happens. She crocheted all over Europe with us one summer. Fancy facing the Matterhorn and counting stitches! But Mrs. Mumford did it." "Then she'll be a great help on their cruise, I don't think," says I. "Oh, but she will," says Vee.
Seventeen suffers frightfully, when it suffers at all. Eighteen enjoys its blighted affection, revels in its broken heart, would like to crochet a black edging on its immortal soul, and wouldn't exchange its secret sorrow for a public joy. Nineteen is convalescent pride would come to its rescue even if life itself did not beguile it into being happy.
Mademoiselle Schult, getting impatient, began to roll up yards and yards of crochet, and coughed, by way of a signal, but remembering how disagreeable it would have been to herself to be interrupted in a tete-a-tete with her apothecary, she thought it not worth while to disturb them in these last moments. M. de Nailles's orders had been that she was to sit in the atelier.
He came out of his room with nothing on but his glasses, an ascension robe and one boot. He rushed through the hall, and while in front of the room of the girl who wore the black tights with the crochet work on the limbs he ventured a joke. He is the telegraph manager and he said, "There is a line down here," as a two inch stream struck him about the alleged pistol pocket.
"You have to guess the postmark, or who it's from!" teased Lily, holding her hand over the letter. "Princeton?" asked Marjorie, bending over her crochet to hide a blush. "Nope!" Lily tossed the missile into the other girl's lap, for she was too eager to open her own two letters to cause any further delay.
"Those are all wrong, so back they go; and I can't help it if that woman does need money, I told her I wanted a full inch-and-a-half beading and she has put this crochet edge all round everywhere. I shan't accept a single piece!" Whereupon she sat down at her dressing table and rang for her maid. Madame Pompadour herself had no lovelier boudoir than Beatrice.
How our fathers managed without crochet is the wonder; but I believe some small and feeble substitute existed in their time under the name of 'tatting'. Rebecca Linnet, however, had neglected tatting as well as other forms of fancy-work.
You need not throw away the very seed time of life on music, though you are unmusical to the backbone; nor yet on your three "C's croquet, crochet, and coquetry: for Civilization and sound Law have opened to you one great, noble, and difficult profession with three branches, two of which Nature intended you for. The path is arduous, but flowers grow beside it, and the prize is great."
