I am afraid we shall never meet again " "But we are partners in the mixed foursomes tomorrow." "Oh, yes, so we are!" said Eunice. "Well, mind you play up. I want to win a cup more than anything on earth." "Ah!" said Ramsden, "if only I could win what I want to win more than anything else on earth! You, I mean," he added, to make his meaning clear.
The aristocratic old head went up and the aristocratic old nose sniffed disdainfully, for though Eunice Embury was strong-willed, her aunt was equally so, and in a clash of opinions Miss Ames not infrequently won out. Eunice didn't sulk, that was not her nature; she turned back to her writing desk with an offended air, but with a smile as of one who tolerates the vagaries of an inferior.
She has come to me at last. She believes God sent her, and if He did He'll help me take care of her. I shall not turn her off." "But, Hugh," and Aunt Eunice spoke earnestly, "you cannot afford the expense. Think twice before you commit yourself." "I have thought twice, the last time just as I did the first. Adah shall stay, and I want you to take her. You need some one these winter nights.
"I was surprised, though," pursued Aunt Abby, still reminiscent, "when Eunice married you, Sanford. Mr. Mason is so much more intellectual and Mr. Hendricks so much better looking." "Thank you, lady!" and Embury bowed gravely. "But you see, I have that er indescribable charm that nobody can resist." "You have, you rascal!" and Miss Ames beamed on him.
In order to get his business in such shape that he could leave it, he had not found much time for rest of late and felt that his tired body was now calling for rest. Eunice arranged a tidy little pillow for his head and watched him sink into a profound slumber. Toward nightfall the train reached the designated tunnel.
Now, as to these two people with opportunity but no motive. They are, I'm told, Miss Ames and the butler. Very well, I grant their opportunity but since they are alleged to have no motive, why consider them at all? This brings us to Mrs, Embury." Eunice was watching the speaker, fascinated. She had never met a man like this before.
Eunice was standing, her two hands tightly grasping a chair-back as she looked angrily at Embury, who still seated lazily, blew smoke rings toward her. She was magnificent in her anger, her cheeks burned crimson, her dark eyes had an ominous gleam in them and her curved lips straightened into a determined line of scarlet.
As neither Eunice and Miss Ringtop, nor Hollins and Abel showed any disposition to room together, I quietly gave up to them the four rooms in the second story, and installed myself in one of the attic chambers. Here I could hear the music of the rain close above my head, and through the little gable window, as I lay in bed, watch the colors of the morning gradually steal over the distant shores.
I believe that although Uncle Moses and even Aunt Eunice speak so proudly of that office, that it isn't as great as some others. I don't know, and I wouldn't care at all except for him. But we must do it.
Wonder if they've sailed yet," with a thought of the travellers. "The steamer doesn't sail till eleven; don't you remember? Prob'ly they're just getting up. Come, Eunice, get up. I hear the boys, now." Cricket scrambled out of bed and ran to the window to peep out. "There they go now for their swim. Boys!
