You have to be careful with Roy, he's a terrible jollier and Mr. Ellsworth's pretty near as bad. Oh, cracky, but I'd like to go with them that's one sure thing. You think it's no fun being a girl and I'll admit I wouldn't want to be one I got to admit that; but it's pretty near as bad to be small. If you're small they jolly you. And if I asked them to let me go they'd only laugh.
The lady was his friend Ellsworth's sister, which was another claim; she was generally admired too, and this alone, with some men, would have given her a decided advantage: since we are revealing Harry's foibles, however, we must do him the justice to say, that he was not one of the class referred to. When he liked, he liked honestly, for good reasons of his own. At the time he left home with Mr.
Still less would she ask the Countess behind his back. There was another way in which she could find out a sly voice seemed to whisper in Annesley's ear. She could get old numbers of the Morning Post, the only newspaper that entered Mrs. Ellsworth's house, and search for the paragraph. But she was ashamed of herself for letting such a thought enter her head.
The life-blood from Ellsworth's heart had stained not only the Confederate flag, but a gold medal found under his uniform, bearing the legend: "Non solum nobis, sed pro patria"; "Not for ourselves alone, but for the country." One day, as the general was sitting at his table in the office, the messenger announced that a person desired to see him a moment in order to present a gift.
If the girl had been transferred from the earth to Mars, the new conditions of life could scarcely have been more different from the old than was life in Portman Square married to Nelson Smith, from the treadmill as Mrs. Ellsworth's slave-companion.
It was before May was over, that Ellsworth's soldiers took possession of Alexandria, and he was killed. That stirred people at the time; it looks a very little thing now. Alexandria! how I remembered driving through it one grey morning, on one of my Southern journeys; the dull little place, that looked as if it had fallen asleep some hundred or two years ago and never waked up.
Perhaps I can even make you happy, if you don't ask for a saint to match yourself. You shall have my love and worship, and I'll be true as steel " "Oh, listen!" Annesley broke in. "Don't you hear a sound?" "Yes," he said. "A door creaked somewhere." "Mrs. Ellsworth's bedroom door. What shall we do?
Another teacher in the adjoining district, a graduate of Harvard, and the son of a well-known Unitarian clergyman of Providence, Rhode Island, has two schools, in one of which a class of three pupils was about finishing Ellsworth's First Progressive Reader, and another, of seven pupils, had just finished Hillard's Second Primary Header.
She decided to steer for one of the high-back brocaded chairs which had little satellite tables. Better settle on one in the middle of the hall. She felt conscious of her hands, and especially of her feet and ankles, for she had not been able to make Mrs. Ellsworth's dress quite long enough.
Ellsworth's pleasures was to represent herself in the light of a martyr. The girl made no remark, however: she was far too experienced for such mistakes in tact. Still in silence, she peeled the stout figure of its dressing gown and helped it into a short, knitted bed-jacket. "When you get the dining-room scuttle, put out the light there and in the corridor," Mrs. Ellsworth said.
