And she came to a halt, forcing Susan to halt also. It happened to be the corner of Eighth Street. Susan saw the iron fence, the leafless trees of Garfield Place. "Let's go down this way," said she. "I had luck here once." "Luck!" said Etta, her curiosity triumphant over all. Susan's answer was a strange laugh. Ahead of them, a woman warmly and showily dressed was sauntering along.
Miss Henrietta hurried off, and little Etta pouted on and murmured something about: "People must have been dreadful slow and dull in aunty's young days," and then her thoughts wandered to that same handsome stranger. She, too, had seen him in church on Sunday, and knew well how the rosy blush mantled her fair face when she saw the pleasant smile she had hoped was for her.
You have known all along that I am in earnest, you have known it for the last six months. You have seen me often enough when I was well, not in earnest, to know the difference." Etta rose quickly. It was some lightning-like woman's instinct that made her do so. Standing, she was taller than M. de Chauxville.
"Nothing equal to it for making friends. I like it for itself, and I like it for the friends it has made me." Champagne was not one of the commonplaces of that modest chop house. So the waiter opened the bottle with much ceremony. Susan and Etta startled when the cork popped ceilingward in the way that in such places is still regarded as fashionable.
Etta has spoiled her, and she gives herself airs, and takes too much upon herself. Do you know' with an amused smile 'Lady Betty and I think that Etta is rather afraid of her? She never ventures to find fault with her, and once or twice Lady Betty has heard Leah scolding Etta when something has put her out. I should not care to be scolded by my maid: should you, Miss Garston?
Mundy with Kitty behind her was at the door. The latter hesitated, and, seeing it, Etta nodded to her. "Come in. I won't hurt you. You need not be afraid." Speaking first to Etta, Kitty kissed me, and I saw she had come up-stairs because she, too, was wondering if there was something she could do. Kitty is no longer the child she once was.
When he went to see this teacher, however, he found she had changed her mind, and there was no other class available except one composed of seven "big girls," of whom Katie Robertson was one. Of course, Mr. Scoville could not go back on his word, so Miss Etta Mountjoy was formally installed as teacher of one of the most important classes of the school.
"Here are some questions which were asked me last week after the meeting," said Etta, as she finished reading the papers. "I wonder if the girls to whom I gave them have found answers." "Why is it wrong to drink beer?" Several hands were raised and several answers given; such as: "Because it makes people drunk." "Because it killed Harry."
As a fact little Wharton, his mother and sister Dessie, were at this very moment in Detroit, within ten minutes' walk of the hotel at which Holmes had registered "Etta and Nellie Canning." On October 14 there had arrived in that city a weary, anxious-looking woman, with a girl and a little baby. They took a room at Geis's Hotel, registering as Mrs. Adams and daughter. Mrs.
"A lenient master," pursued the Frenchman, whose vanity was tickled by the word. "I do not ask much. One thing is to be invited to Osterno, that I may be near you. The other is a humble request for details of your daily life, that I may think of you when absent." Etta drew in her lips, moistening them as if they had suddenly become parched. De Chauxville glanced at her and moved toward the door.
