She has not said anything to me. And I have an idea " the look in Enderby's face shamed into silence the slander he was about to utter. Then he added coolly "But as for going with you after a turtle, thanks, I won't. I've found a nest here, and have had a good square feed. If the cursed man-o'-war hawks and boobies hadn't been here before me I'd have got the whole lot."
Indeed, I am a little nervous about the matter, for Hetty is such a strangely impressionable girl one never knows what way she will take things. I must break the truth to her myself." So Hetty was sent for to Mrs. Enderby's dressing-room, and went with rather a heavy heart, thinking some complaint had been made of her. She had never been so sent for except when trouble was impending.
"The advertisement was only a trap into which you stepped." Enderby's jaw dropped. "Then it's still at the Graeme house," he cried, beating on the floor with his free hand. "Take me back there!" "Oh, we'll take you," said Warren grimly. Close-packed among them in a cab, they drove him back to Carteret Street. Colonel Ridgway Graeme was at home and greeted them courteously.
Enderby's desire, kept Hetty more than ordinarily busy, and hindered her from paying her customary visits to Mrs. Kane. Mrs.
It was painful to her feelings, she owned, to hear the children shouting with laughter, while they were all bombazine and crape from head to foot: she had hoped to see the memory of her dear old friend treated with more respect. In vain did Mr Hope plead Mrs Enderby's delight in the mirth of children, and that their innocent gaiety would cheer her in her grave, if it could reach her there.
You were right in saying yesterday that I love you still. I shall ever love you, be our separate lives what they may. God bless you! "Will you not wait, my dearest Margaret?" said Hester, when, within half an hour of the arrival of Enderby's letter, she met her sister on the stairs, with the reply in her hand, sealed, and ready to be sent. "Why such haste?
Enderby's voice at the door. "I hope you will not refuse to let me in," she said. "I request that you will open the door." Hetty rose from the floor very unwillingly and opened the door, and Mrs. Enderby came in. "Hetty, what is the meaning of this strange conduct?" she said, looking at the marks of wild weeping on the child's swollen face. "Everybody's conduct has been bad to me," wailed Hetty.
It is depriving Miss Young of her leisure, too, and making use of her apartment in a way that she may well object to." "I am here, out of school hours, only upon sufferance," replied Miss Young. "I never call the room mine without this explanation." "Besides," said Margaret, "it is a mere accident Mr Enderby's coming in to-day.
He had also composed nearly a column of supposed Amalgamated Wire report, regarding the fight for and against Governor Enderby's reform measures, which he would read presently to Miss Van Arsdale from the dailies just received. As he dismounted, the clear music of her voice called: "Any mail, Ban?" "Yes. Letter from Albany." "Let me open it myself," she cried jealously.
In all likelihood, he said to himself presently, they were suggested by some inscription on a passing omnibus, noted unconsciously. The address was that he had read in Miss Enderby's note-book. Why not ramble in that direction as well as another, and amuse himself by guessing which house it was that the governess lived in?
