Papa has an opportunity of selling the buggy, and Mr. Phillips will take 'Prince' until we can afford to keep him again. Are you willing?" "Yes, mama," in a rather feeble chorus, with Ernestine's voice lacking. 'Prince' was such a pet O dear! "And then, Lizzie," continued Mrs. Dering, apparently not noticing the way all faces were going down.
Grimmington, Smithsend, Bailey, Kelsey all were for holding out; but d'Iberville's brother, Serigny, came in under flag of truce and bade them think well what would happen if the hundred Indians were turned loose on the fort. Finally the English surrendered and marched out with the honours of war. Grimmington sailed for England with as many of the refugees as his ship, the Dering, could convey.
Dering could not hide a little anxiety, though she tried to be gay and interested in the girls' talk, as usual. With Olive's words fresh in their minds, the rest closely watched the faces of both parents, and each girl had thoughts and made plans, in every way characteristic of their respective selves. Mr.
I suppose you don't feel quite at home just yet? 'Not quite, thank you, I said, lifting my cap with ceremony, for I had been taught to be particular about my manners; 'I have never been to school before, you see, Miss Dering. I think she was a little puzzled by so much politeness. 'I know, she said softly; 'mother told me about it, and I'm very sorry. And I'm called Marjory, generally.
Murray repeated his gratitude, but as she turned to leave, Pansy cried vehemently: "You stay with me, 'cause I want you, and you go home with me and my papa in the little buggy; tell her so quick, right off, papa." Of course what could Mr. Murray do but say politely: "I should be most pleased, Miss Dering, if you would allow me to be cruel enough to take you from the gay party."
Dering noticed also that when they were gathered in the sitting-room after supper, that instead of sitting off in the far corner of the lounge as usual, she had joined the circle about the table, and was busy on some worsted work. Ernestine was rocking idly with her pretty feet displayed on the fender, and her prettier hands clasped above her head, in an attitude both graceful and becoming.
And there she did go, sure enough, for turning to nod triumphantly at Kittie, away went her balance, and after two or three of the wildest, most fearful struggles, down came Kat, head and heels right into the mud-hole. "Oh, my goodness, ha, ha, my gracious; Oh-h! Kat Dering!" shrieked Kittie, dancing wildly up and down. "Oh, Kat; if I ever what a a sight!
"I thought she was afraid of him!" "She is the only one that he has looked at kindly," said Bea, with some indications of resentment in her voice. "Was he always so fierce and queer, mama?" "Always," answered Mrs. Dering, who was watching from another window. "He has a kind heart, but a most exceedingly violent temper, which he seems to have under no control.
Kittie gave her mother's hand a grateful squeeze, for praise given to either of the twins was dear to the other; and Kat sank out of her sight in her chair, quite overcome, and resolved heartily to cultivate her talent to the uttermost. "Now, our other 'boy," continued Mrs. Dering, smiling down into Kittie's upturned face, "wants black eyes, don't like dish-washing, and would like to travel.
I knew I couldn't go then, because I was too young and inexperienced; but I'm older now, and if you would only say that you are willing, so that I could begin to put just a little money away every month " Mrs. Dering laid down her sewing, and looked in amaze at Olive's face, which had become so enthusiastic as she put her plea in a voice that trembled in its eagerness.
