A little toy wooden egg with a snake inside it, belonging to the Pitezel children, had been found by the tenant who had taken the house after Holmes; a later tenant had found stuffed into the chimney, but not burnt, some clothing that answered the description of that worn by Alice and Etta Pitezel; and by the teeth and hair of the two corpses Mrs.
The stranger that boarded at Miss Plimpkins' last summer. He sent Etta a valentine, and has now come himself," returned Miss Henrietta. "A valentine! what for?" "To ask her to have him, surely. And I suppose he'll be taking her off to town to live, pretty soon." "And you, what will you do? It will be awful lonely here for you," said the squire. "Oh! he's coming out now," thought Miss Henrietta.
I'd kill myself now, and have it over with." The truth was that if the position of the two girls had been reversed and Susan had loved Gulick as intensely as Etta professed and believed she loved him, still Susan would have given him up rather than have left Etta alone. And she would have done it without any sense of sacrifice.
Your husband I beg your pardon, the prince would perhaps take a different view of the case. It is a pretty story. I will tell it to him unless I have your implicit obedience." Etta stood dry-lipped before him. She tried to speak, but no words came from her lips. De Chauxville looked at her with a quiet smile of triumph, and she knew that he loved her.
'Make the child hold her tongue, Etta, he said good-humouredly. 'I want to coax Miss Garston to sing to us. And then he came to me with the smile I liked best to see on his face, and held out his hand.
'True; but I never thought the work hurt her, replied Max, rather bluntly. 'I think it was a mistake for Miss Hamilton to give up all her duties; occupation is good for every one. 'That is my opinion, observed Mr. Hamilton. 'Etta is always making a fuss about Gladys's health, but I tell her there is not the least reason for alarm; many people not otherwise delicate take cold easily.
"I want you," he went on, "to assist me. We shall be ready on Thursday. I shall not appear in the matter at all; I have strong colleagues at my back. Starvation and misery, properly handled, are strong incentives." "And how do you propose to handle them?" asked Etta in the same quiet voice. "The peasants will make a demonstration. The rest we must leave to well, to the course of fortune.
Scoville paused, hesitated, and finally resolved to consult the pastor, promising Etta her answer before Sunday came round. He would have given an unqualified refusal had the petitioner been any one else than his employer's daughter. Mr. Morven, the pastor, however, thought differently.
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.
"Course I sha'n't let you," she said. "The idea and you company! Got more help than I know what to do with, as 'tis. 'Lisha was determined that I should hire a girl to wash dishes and things while you was here. Nothin' would do but that. So I got Annabel Haven's daughter, Etta G. There's fourteen in that family, and the land knows 'twas an act of charity takin' one appetite out of the house.
