I cannot understand what has brought on this state of disordered nerves. 'Nor I. 'It is very sad altogether. It is a great relief to me to know you are with her. I must have had a professional nurse, for Etta's fussiness was driving her crazy. Now, Miss Garston, in a business-like tone, 'I want to know how they have provided for your comfort. Where do you sleep to-night?
He also cautioned Etta not to spread a report concerning the nature of Gretchen's disease, as a panic might result which would be not only deleterious to her father's business interests, but also disastrous to the lives of multitudes of the employees of the mill. By this time they had reached the door of Etta's home, and Dr. Bolen bade the girl good-night, after reiterating his directions.
But, instead, a rosy-faced, light-haired young man appeared, to whom the foreman made a slight bow, and then went away. This was Mr. James Mountjoy, Miss Etta's brother, and the only son of the proprietor of the mill. Katie had heard her brothers, who were in his Sunday-school class, talk about him, but had never seen him before.
"Madame, that friendship is at your service, now as always." De Chauxville gave a scornful little laugh. He was biting the end of his mustache as he watched Etta's face. For a moment the woman stood not the first woman to stand thus between two fears. Then she turned to Steinmetz. The victory was his the greatest he had ever torn from the grasp of Claude de Chauxville.
I'm in rags underneath. . . . I've got to go before I get sick and won't have anything to to sell." Susan did not reply. She stared at the remains of a cheap stocking in her lap. Yes, there was no doubt about it, Etta's health was going.
Maberley is such an old dear: only rather old-fashioned in her notions about girls. So Etta's speech rather frightened her, I could see. Of course she has not called yet? I am almost inclined to tell Giles about it. 'Indeed, I hope you will do nothing of the kind, Lady Betty. I am sorry Miss Darrell does not like me; but I do not see that it matters so very much what people think of us.
Etta's such an outrageous flirt," Nelly said. "I hope not, anyway. I'm afraid I can't quite appreciate Etta as a prospective sister-in-law." "No?" "She's catty and vain as a peacock. Stubby ought to marry a nice sensible girl who'd mother him," Nelly observed with astonishing conviction; "like Betty, for instance." "Oh, you seem to have very definite ideas on that subject," MacRae smiled.
I once saw Lady Betty's letter treated in this way, and all her poor little sentences pulled to pieces in Etta's usual fashion. No, thank you, I will not write to Giles. I write to Lady Betty sometimes, but not often: that is why she comes to you for news. We are a queer household, Ursula.
You will be kind enough to avoid all society where it is likely that you should meet him. If you disregard my desires in this matter, I shall be compelled to take means to enforce them." "What means?" "I shall reduce your allowance." Their eyes met, and perhaps that was the bitterest moment in Etta's life. Dead things are better put out of sight at once.
Katie, with some of the remains of her precious fifty dollars, insisted on advancing this; and on the first Sunday morning the young Italian, looking very pretty but rather shy, took her place in Miss Etta's class, and was at once enrolled among its members. Mrs. Robertson never had cause to regret her kind-hearted decision.
