"Does not your brother play with you sometimes?" asked Bessie. "Richard? Oh, no?" And Edna's lip curled a little disdainfully. "He is far too busy to waste his time on me he prefers playing cricket with the village lads at Melton. Bye the bye, mamma, I left Richard at the station; he said he had business with Malcolmson, and would not be home much before dinner."
Put them together, and they will make a bad combination. As to the other two girls, they are sworn friends of Edna's." "I think," said Nora, "that our reform movement is about to end in a glaring fizzle." "How can we reform a person who won't have anything to do with us?" asked Jessica scornfully.
Murray watched the expansion of her mind, and the development of her beauty, with emotions of pride and pleasure, which, had she analyzed them, would have told her how dear and necessary to her happiness the orphan had become. As Edna's reasoning powers strengthened, Mr.
When the girls returned from recess, in place of Miss Newman at the desk stood Mr. Horner, his eyes fairly snapping with indignation, and his eyebrows looking fiercer than ever.

"He is quite overcome by the change in your appearance. I'm not going to tell you the nice things he said about you. I don't approve of turning curly heads."
