All the romance of Elisabeth's nature and there was a great deal of it was lavished upon Anne Farringdon. If Anne smiled, Elisabeth's sky was cloudless; if Anne sighed, Elisabeth's sky grew gray. The mere sound of Anne's voice vibrated through the child's whole being; and every little trifle connected with her cousin became a sacred relic in Elisabeth's eyes.
As his nature deepened Elisabeth's, so her nature expanded his; and each was the better for the influence of the other, as each was the complement of the other. So after a time Christopher grew almost as light-hearted as Elisabeth, while Elisabeth grew almost as tender-hearted as Christopher. For both of them the former things had passed away, and all things were made new.
But I never read tales that she has said I mustn't read." "You oughtn't to read any tale till you have asked her first if you may." Elisabeth's face fell. "I never thought of doing such a thing as asking her first. Oh! Chris, you don't really think I ought to, do you? Because she'd be sure to say no." "That is exactly why you ought to ask."
The fact that he had not the slightest right to control Elisabeth's actions, in no way prevented him from highly disapproving of them; and the fact that he was too proud to express this disapproval in words, in no way prevented him from displaying it in manner.
And the tears overflowed, and rolled down Mrs. Herbert's faded cheeks. Elisabeth's heart swelled with an immense pity, for her quick insight told her that Mrs. Herbert was not mistaken; but all she said was "I think you are making mountains out of molehills.
When Elisabeth had left her girlhood far behind her, the mere mention of the name, Fox How, never failed to send thrills all through her, as God save the Queen, and Home, sweet Home have a knack of doing; and for any one to have ever been a pupil at Fox How, was always a sure and certain passport to Elisabeth's interest and friendliness.
I want to know if you will help me in my work by becoming my wife; and I think that even you can not help answering that question seriously." The laughter vanished from Elisabeth's face, as if it had been wiped out with a sponge. "Oh! I I don't know," she murmured lamely. "Then you must find out. To me it seems that you are the one woman in all the world who was made for me.
As Christopher grew older he dreamed dreams of how in the future he should raise himself from being only the nephew of Miss Farringdon's manager to a position of wealth and importance; and how he should finally bring all his glories and honours and lay them at Elisabeth's feet.
Thoroughly womanly, hasty words, written on impulse, with underlining and a dash.... Then it occurred to me to go round to Froken Elisabeth's address; there was still a glimmer of hope. I heard the door bell ring inside the house as I pressed, and stood listening as in a whirling desert. Froken Elisabeth had left an hour before. Then wine, and then whisky. And then endless whisky.
As she finished speaking, Elisabeth's hands, which had been tightly locked together upon her knee, relaxed and fell stiffly apart, cramped with the intensity of their convulsive pressure.
