I wish to the Lord, though, that all the world had as little to cry about as you, my dear." "That's what provokes me so, cousin. It's so silly and weak." "Oh, well, Ella, you're done beat out, as Aun' Sheba says; and that's the only trouble that and the blindness of yonder great boy, who expects to court you for months before venturing to stammer some incoherent nonsense. Now, a Southern man "

Willoughby complied, and Ella saw the stranger coming toward her as straight and prompt as if he meant to carry her off bodily. He seemed to ignore every one and everything else in the room, but she was too high-spirited to fall into a panic, or even to be confused. Indeed she found herself growing angry, and was resolving to give him a lesson, when his name was mentioned.

I never can think of anything else. Besides, they're always good, anyhow. But I should think <i>you</i>, a <i>woman</i>, could think of something " "Never mind," interrupted Ella airily. "Mother's a dear, and she won't care if she does get two pairs." "But she won't want three pairs," groaned Frank; "and I got slippers too!" There was a moment of dismayed silence, then everybody laughed.

Here it had never been heard before. During the first song Aarö had searched the room with his eyes, and, from the moment when he discovered where Ella stood, he had kept them fixed there. Now he placed himself near the piano, and during the song he continued to look in her direction. As he sang, his melancholy eyes lighted up; his figure grew plastic.

'They met while they were both traveling about the world, I believe. And that's the end of it!" "But the newspapers may get it," Susan said, fearfully. "I don't see how," he reassured her. "Ella naturally can't give it to them, for she will think you are at your aunt's. Your aunt " "Oh, I shall write the truth to Auntie," Susan said, soberly. "Write her from Honolulu, probably.

And when she had said, haltingly, in reference to the hair "I'll dry it for you, Miss Rose-Marie!" Rose-Marie could have wept with happiness. It was the first time that she had ever heard Ella offer to do anything for her mother. Jim coming in as she was about to leave had added to Rose-Marie's weariness.

"Any plan for to-day, Sue?" asked her aunt. Susan jumped nervously. "Goodness, Auntie! I didn't see you there! Yes, you know I have to go and see Mr. Bocqueraz off at eleven." "Oh, so you do! But you won't go back with the others, dear? Tell them we want you for Christmas!" "With the others?" "Miss Ella and Emily," her aunt supplied, mildly surprised. "Oh! Oh, yes! Yes, I suppose so.

This was almost too much. Averil's lip trembled, but she looked up into her husband's face, and made an answer, which would have been odd had she not been speaking to his thought. 'Never mind! It is only happiness and the kindness. And she drank the coffee with an effort, and smiled at him again, as she asked, 'Where is Ella?

It was fortunate for Jenny's after happiness that Mrs. Campbell was just then listening intently for something which Ella was whispering in her ear, consequently she did not hear the remark, which possibly might have enlightened her a little with regard to her friend's early days. Tea being over, the ladies announced their intention of leaving, and Mrs. Mason, recollecting Mrs.

Whoever examines the beautiful tragedy of Ella, will find an accurate adjustment of plan, which precludes the possibility of its having been conjointly written by different persons, at the distance of centuries.
