It was just as if I saw her with that half-whimsical, half-reproachful expression in her eyes, holding up her finger at me. And there were other mornings when she'd say, 'The mountain's lonesome today, he wants me. And I vow, I'd look at the mountain and it would seem lonesome. That sounds like nonsense, don't it?" Euphrasia demanded, with a sudden sharpness.

Euphrasia began to smile. The speaker was a slender, fair-haired youth, with bright blue eyes, and a moustache. His short dress coat, hat tilted over one ear, and sharp tongue, all denoted the species. "How many old men," said Raphael to himself, "bring an upright, virtuous, and hard-working life to a close in folly! His feet are cold already, and he is making love."

"Was yours easily mended?" he asked. Euphrasia was silent a moment. "He never knew," she repeated, in a low voice. "Well, Phrasie, it looks very much as if we were in the same boat," he said. Euphrasia's heart gave a bound. "Then you haven't spoke!" she cried; "I knew you hadn't. I I was a woman but sometimes I've thought I'd ought to have given him some sign.

Euphrasia could not be called a wasteful person, and Hilary had accumulated no small portion of this world's goods, and placed them as propriety demanded, where they were not visible to the naked eye: and be it added in his favour that he gave as secretly, to institutions and hospitals the finances and methods of which were known to him.

"To stay on a farm for a sort of vacation." Her face brightened. "Goin' to take a real vacation, be you?" He laughed. "Oh, I don't have to work very hard, Phrasie. You know I get out a good deal. I just thought I just thought I'd like to sleep in the country for a while." "Well," answered Euphrasia, "I guess if you've took the notion, you've got to go. It was that way with your mother before you.

Euphrasia had met them at the door, but a trained nurse from the Ripton hospital was likewise in waiting; and a New York specialist had been summoned to prolong, if possible, the life of one from whom all desire for life had passed. Before sunrise a wind came from the northern spruces; the dawn was cloudless, fiery red, and the air had an autumn sharpness. At ten o'clock Dr.

"What about him?" demanded Euphrasia, sharply. "Well, it's his house, for one thing," answered Austen, "and he may prefer to have that room empty." "Empty! Turn you out? I'd like to see him," cried Euphrasia.

I have something to say to you," he added significantly, "and this meeting will save me a trip to Fairview." "Certainly I'll wait," she said. "You can come along with me," said Euphrasia, "if you've a notion to." Victoria was of two minds whether to accept this invitation.

On Monday I play that favorite detestation of mine, Euphrasia; the Monday after that my father hopes to be able for Mercutio, and I return to Juliet. By the by, you say Bianca is my best part, and I think my Juliet is better; I am not sure that there is not some kindred in the characters.
