She had never been away from home before, and she found it pleasant to watch the Dolman children. As she expressed it, in her sturdy fashion, she did not think much of any of them, but still it amused her to hear them speak, and to take Ann's hand and allow her to lead her round the garden.
"Perhaps, David, you will remember how disgracefully late it is," said Mrs. Dolman. "Children, I must frankly say that I am not pleased to see you. What are you doing up at this hour?" "We have come to keep father company," said Apollo, fixing his flashing black eyes, with a distinctly adverse expression in them, on his aunt's face.
For a short time he made an effort to read his dull history, but then once again his eyes sought the sunshine and the flies on the window panes. Meanwhile Diana, Orion, and the two little Dolman boys were in a class by themselves, busily engaged over a geography lesson. Diana had not the smallest wish to become acquainted with any portion of the globe where she was not herself residing.
The fly-driver named a price, which she immediately disputed. "Nonsense!" she said. "Eight shillings for driving me from the station here? Why, it is only five miles." "It is nearly seven, ma'am, and all uphill. I really cannot do it for a penny less." "Then you are an impostor. I shall complain of you." At this moment one of the stately footmen threw open the hall door and stared at Mrs. Dolman.
A large majority of the occupants were ladies, fashionably dressed, whose moving fans gave animation to the general effect. Mrs. Hayes escorted General Garfield's venerable mother and Mrs. Garfield to the gallery seats reserved for them. Mrs. Hayes wore a magnificent sealskin dolman and a black brocaded silk dress, with a white uncut velvet bonnet and ostrich feathers.
"She does not eat her food, and when I went into her bedroom last night I found that she was wide awake, and had evidently been silently crying. I think she ought to see a doctor!" "Dear, dear!" replied Mrs. Dolman. "Do you know, Miss Ramsay, I am almost sorry I undertook the charge of the little Delaneys. They certainly have turned out, as their poor father expressed it, a handful.
Love of animals is commendable commendable" he emphasized this slight concession "but race horses always appeal to me as instruments of the Evil One." "It wasn't the horse's fault at all, Mr. Dolman," Allis interposed, "but just a depraved human's. It was the boy Shandy's fault." "I wasn't thinking of one horse," continued the minister, airily; "I meant race horses in general." "I think Mr.
For my part, I have not the slightest doubt that they will soon be brought back." Miss Ramsay uttered a sigh. "I will send Iris down to speak to you," she said. This conversation occurred between three and four weeks after little Orion and Diana had disappeared. Mrs. Dolman was in her study. It was a very ugly room, sparsely furnished.
This produced a delay in her catching that, on the face, these words didn't give her what she wanted, though she was prompt enough with her remembrance that her grasp was, half the time, just of what was not on the face. "Miss Dolman, Parade Lodge, Parade Terrace, Dover. Let him instantly know right one, Hotel de France, Ostend. Make it seven nine four nine six one.
Nearer came the sound, and nearer, until, presently, now in moonlight, now in shadow, there strode a tall, martial figure in all the glory of braided tunic, and furred dolman, the three chevrons upon his sleeve, and many shining medals upon his breast, a stalwart, soldierly figure, despite the one empty sleeve, who moved with the long, swinging stride that only the cavalry-man can possess.
