Elliot-Smith. She has not been well." "Oh, I don't mind," said Priscilla. "Will it take us much out of our way?" "No, only a step or two. Come, we have just to turn this corner, and here we are. What a dear quite too good-natured girl you are, Miss Peel!" Prissie said nothing.
"No, no, nothing of the sort; only come only come!" Maggie opened her book and glanced at some of its contents before replying. "Only come," repeated Annie in an imploring voice. "I said I would come," answered Maggie. "Must I reiterate my assurance? Tell Miss Elliot-Smith to expect me."
I have looked forward all during the holidays to showing it to Meta Elliot-Smith. It's the sort of thing to subdue Meta, and I want to subdue her. No, nothing will induce me to part with my lovely coral now." "Well, my dear, keep it, of course, and pay for it how you can. It's your own affair.
Do come upstairs for half an hour; do, there's a dear Prissie!" Priscilla hesitated. She had no knowledge of so-called "society." Her instincts told her it was very wrong to humor Rose. She disliked Miss Elliot-Smith and felt wild at the trick which had been played on her.
He absolutely scowled down at her, shook hands warmly with Priscilla and turned away. "Come and bid Mrs. Elliot-Smith good-by," said Rosalind, her eyes still dancing. "She is at the other end of the drawing-room; come, you can follow me." "How disgracefully you have behaved, Miss Merton!" began Priscilla at once.
"Look here," said Meta Elliot-Smith, "now that you two dear, precious girls have come, you mustn't go away. Oh, no, I couldn't hear of it. I have perfect oceans to say to you, Rose and it is absolutely centuries since we have met. Off with your waterproof and up you come to the drawing-room for a cup of tea.
The admiration which greeted her gave her a momentary feeling of surprise almost of displeasure. Meta Elliot-Smith and her mother buzzed round Maggie and expressed their gratitude to her for coming. "We expect a friend of yours to arrive presently," said Meta "Mr. Hammond. You know Mr. Hammond, don't you? I have had a note from him. He says he will look in as soon after ten as possible.
It was in vain for poor Priscilla to whisper to herself that Greek and Latin were glorious and great and dress and fashion were things of no moment whatever. At this instant she knew all too well that dress and fashion were reigning supreme. Meta Elliot-Smith was elusive, loud and vulgar, but she was also good-natured.
Meta had been introduced to Miss Oliphant and had pressed her invitation vigorously. It would be a triumph of triumphs to Meta Elliot-Smith to introduce the beautiful heiress to her own set. Maggie's refusal was not listened to. She was begged to reconsider the question; implored to be merciful, to be kind; assured of undying gratitude if she would consent to come even for one short hour.
You are more than welcome. What a miserable, horrid, too utterly depressing afternoon it is!" "How do you do, Meta?" said Rosalind, when she could interrupt this eager flow of words. "May I introduce my friend, Miss Peel? Miss Peel, this is my very great and special friend and chum, Meta Elliot-Smith."
