"Oh, that was before the days of the A.C.!" He, catching the infection, laughed also: in fact, Mr. Johnson laughed, but without knowing why. "The 'A.C.!" said Mr. Billings. "Bless me, Eunice! how long it is since we have talked of that summer! I had almost forgotten that there ever was an A.C." And she laughed again, more heartily than ever.
This, she knew, would irritate her aunt more than further words could do. And yet, Eunice Embury was neither mean nor spiteful of disposition. She had a furious temper, but she tried hard to control it, and when it did break loose, the spasm was but of short duration and she was sorry for it afterward.
She was not in the mood for receiving guests, being a trifle tired, but Eunice Fraley was a mild little creature, with a gentle, deprecatory manner which had always appealed to Miss Prince's more chivalrous nature.
She watched him striding away, with that look of weary listlessness that had grown habitual to her, and rose from her grassy couch with a sigh, to obey his directions. She found Eunice in the sewing room, with Agnes Darling, and gave her her orders to pack up, and be prepared to start next morning.
My husband objected to giving me a definite allowance, but he gave me twice the sum I would have asked for, and more, too, by letting me have charge accounts everywhere I chose."

"I wonder if there is any insanity in her father's family?" "Did she look so bad?" asked Eunice, with a stare of terror at her sister-in-law. "Look so bad! She looked as old and homely as you and I every bit." Maria made as much of a sensation on the trolley as she had done at home.
"Leave my dog outside! Leave Punch, my my my darling! Oh! I can't do that. He has been so tenderly brought up, and is so sensitive to the cold. He has really suffered on that dreadful ride." Miss Eunice frowned slightly, and merely remarking, "Very well, bring him in, though I caution you against Sir Philip.

"Oh, I'm quite sure of that," said Eunice, rejecting what she had asked for. "You'll find everything, Mr. Boardman. It was kind of you to come with Dan. Supper's at seven." "How severe you were with him!" murmured Minnie, following her away.
I do hope everybody will keep out of the way till I get it all fixed." Fortunately, auntie had sent Edna and Eunice on an errand, and had told Eliza to keep the children away till the little merchant was ready to begin her sales, so Cricket was left in peace, as Archie, after he had finished his adornments, had gone for a sail with Will.
