The two men looked into each other's eyes as they met, and Artois saw at once that Doro was in a state of suppressed excitement and not in a gentle mood. Although Doro generally seemed full of good-humor, and readiness to please and to be pleased, he could look very cruel.
"We had better go to town and get some of the shopping over with," suggested Dorothy to Tavia, when they had convinced the boys that it was too cold to go auto riding, and that this was the very best day in the week to do Christmas buying. "All right, Doro," answered Tavia. "You're the coacher.
Doro was like a feather on the warm wind of the South. He, Artois, was not in the mood just then to bother about a feather. Still less was he inclined for companionship. He wanted some hours of complete rest out in the air, with gay and frivolous scenes before his eyes.
"No," insisted Tavia, now conscious that there was good news in the air. "Stay and listen, Doro. I did not tell you because I was a " "Now stop!" insisted Dorothy. "No calling of names." "You take too serious a view of it," interrupted Miss Brooks. "She simply did what hundreds do every day risked five dollars to make ten "
"Oh, isn't it perfectly grand!" exclaimed the excited Tavia, "but do you think, Doro, I will be able to behave myself, to eat properly and all that?" "Why, Tavia," answered Dorothy, "you will find real aristocratic people are as simple as we are in manners; it is only those who try to be 'somebody, and who do not know how, that make such a fuss over everything.
Oh, only out in the woods, of course, but it was sport, and I caught fish! It's skirts that hoodoo the catch. I have come to that conclusion." "In what woods did you wear overalls?" and Dorothy looked almost frightened. Might Tavia have the garb with her? "Oh, away out Mushroom way. And I stretched out just like any respectable boy, and cast the line! Dear me, Doro!
Dorothy chatted pleasantly to her aunt, occasionally referring to something to Tavia to give her a chance to join in the conversation and Tavia noticed that Dorothy had already cheered up wonderfully. "I suppose this is the sort of company Doro belongs in," Tavia thought. "There is something so different about society people." Mrs. White certainly was different.
"Fact is, I'm awfully hard up, Doro, and I would rather forget Pangborn than go without a month's supply of fudge." "Hard up! Why, Tavia, you wrote me you had five dollars to spend." "So I did then, but I lost it since." "Lost it? How? Wasn't that too bad!" "I should say so," replied Tavia, turning to her memorandum book, as if to dismiss the subject.
"Yes, indeed I do, but never mind, Doro, we are going to have the time of our lives this summer, and we must not go into the missionary business for it's awfully wearing." "It's quite a long drive out here, isn't it? I shouldn't think you would often take it after dark?" "Oh, we never do, unless we have a whole party and go merry-making. But this evening I fear we will have to go for Tavia.
Would she lose by giving, even if the gift were a lesson? Artois had certainly felt that his instinct told him not to do what Doro wanted. He had been moved, he supposed now, by a protective sentiment. Vere was delicious as she was. And Doro he was delightful as he was. The girl was enchanting in her ignorance.
