She ate, chewing high, and slowly. "See? She can eat if she will eat," Ina said to Dwight. "The only trouble is, she will not take the time." "She don't put her mind on her meals," Dwight Herbert diagnosed it. "Oh, bigger bites than that!" he encouraged his little daughter. Di's mind had been proceeding along its own paths. "Are you going to take Jenny and Bobby too?" she inquired. "Certainly.
"Lulu," said Dwight low, "your dress. Do go!" Lulu laughed. "The bridal shawl takes off the curse," she said. Cornish, in his gentle way, asked about the journey, about the sick woman and Dwight talked of her again, and this time his voice broke. Di was curiously silent. When Cornish addressed her, she replied simply and directly the rarest of Di's manners, hi fact not Di's manner at all.
It is separated by another larger room from the ballroom; but both doors were open and we could see people dancing. I told him he might sit by me on the sofa under Di's book shelves, because we could talk better there. Usually, I don't like being in front of a mirror, because well, because I'm only the "pretty girl's sister." But to-night I didn't mind. My cheeks were red, and my eyes bright.
"But you'd better enjoy those biscuits of Di's while you can you won't get many more! There's Gerald good night!" And off she ran. Diantha set the plateful on the table, puffy, brown, and crisply crusted. "Supper's ready," she said. "Do sit down, Mother," and she held the chair for her. "Minnie's quite right, Father, though I meant not to tell you till you'd had supper. I am going away to work."
He said loudly: "I'm not going to Bainbridge or Holt or any town and lie, to get you or any other girl." Di's head lifted, tossed, turned from him. "You're about as much like a man in a story," she said, "as as papa is." The two idly inspecting women again entered the rose room, this time to stay. They inspected Lulu too. And Lulu rose and stood between the lovers.
Deacon had instinctively suspected him of wanting to join the church, and, to treat the time with due solemnity, had put him in the parlour until he could attend at leisure. Confronted thus by Di's father, the speech which Bobby had planned deserted him. "I thought if you would give me a job," he said defencelessly. "So that's it!" Mr.
Yes, she's a talented dear, though she hardly knows a needle from a crowbar, and will make herself one great blot some of these days, when the 'divine afflatus' descends upon her, I'm afraid." And Nan rubbed away with sisterly zeal at Di's forlorn hose and inky pocket-handkerchiefs. "Where is Laura?" proceeded the inquisitor.
"Well, then, come on to Bainbridge," Di cried, and rose. Lulu was thinking: "What shall I say? I don't know what to say. I don't know what I can say." Now she also rose, and laughed awkwardly. "I've told Di," she said to Bobby, "that wherever you two go, I'm going too. Di's folks left her in my care, you know. So you'll have to take me along, I guess." She spoke in a manner of distinct apology.
"Yes, I've accepted." "I know Diana would love it. I'll tell her about you and about to-day, for she can't be cross with me if it ends in an invitation. And you'd be her first flying man." Even as I spoke I had a misgiving. It came like a cramp in the heart. Di's nickname seemed to whisper itself in my ear: "Diana the Huntress Diana the Huntress!"
I read him bits about Laura from your own and Di's letters, and he went away at last as patient as Jacob, ready to serve another 'seven years' for his beloved Rachel."
