Cupp's dining-room floor had been occupied for years by a young man Emily had been able to recommend. Her own appreciation of good turns made her eager to do them for others. She never let slip a chance to help any one in any way. It was a good-natured thing done by one of her patrons who liked her, which made her so radiant as she walked through the mud this morning.
Cupp's letter in her pocket, and was half-way across the moor before she remembered it. "Dear me!" she exclaimed when she recalled it. "I must see what has happened." She opened the envelope and began to read as she walked; but she had not taken many steps before she uttered an exclamation and stopped. "How very nice for them!" she said, but she turned rather pale.
Why, I feel that I might lead an assault on Cupp's office, take her by force, and immure her in " "The old secret passage to the boathouse," put in Nan. "Oh, goodness gracious Agnes!" said Amelia, looking at one of her watches, "if we are going to do anything to that wild Western mustang to-night " "Hush! Have no fear," interrupted Laura. "There is time enough."
Cupp's and Jane's would certainly be the last faces and the only ones she would see. She had cried a little the night she thought of it, but then, as she told herself, she was feverish and weak, and it made her morbid. "It was because of this invitation that I wanted to talk to you, Jane," she went on. "You see, we shall have to begin to contrive about dresses." "Yes, indeed, miss.
Amelia stalked ahead, carrying the broom, her "wand of office." The stairway led threateningly near to Mrs. Cupp's room. "Don't dare breathe even, while we are going down," hissed Laura. "Silence!" reiterated Amelia. They descended carefully all but the prisoner. But when she made too much noise Laura poked her.
Cupp's self was marked indeed by something like a tinge of awed deference, which, it must be confessed, mollified the good woman, and awakened in her a desire to be just and lenient even to the dark of skin and alien of birth. "She knows her betters when she sees them, and has pretty enough manners for a black," the object of her respectful obeisances remarked.
