Grace, people talk about Rose being pretty; but she is no more to Kate than than just nothing at all." "Did you come in merely to say that? If so, Miss Eveleen, I must request you to depart, as I am going to say my prayers." "Directly," said Eeny, nestling more comfortably on her stool. "Did you ever hear any one play and sing as she does?" "She plays and sings remarkably well."
The grin that goes for a laugh among gipsies followed my question of how Kiomi had managed to smuggle me. Eveleen was my informant when the dreaded Kiomi happened to be off duty for a minute.
However, Eveleen was just the girl to like men better than women, and never to be so happy as when on the verge of flirting; it would probably have been the same with any other youth that came in her, way, and Guy might fully be acquitted of doing more than paying her the civilities which were requisite from him to any young lady visitor.
He stretched his limbs on the heather and kept hold of my hand, looking and talking watchfully, doctor-like, doubting me to be as sound in body as I assured him I was, despite aches and pains. Eveleen hung near. 'These people have been kind to you? he said. 'No, the biggest brutes on the earth, said I.
Guy devoted himself to Charles more than ever, and in the fear that he might miss the late variety of amusement, exerted even more of his powers of entertainment than Lady Eveleen had called forth.
'If he was not a mere boy, I should say a lover's quarrel was at the bottom of it, said Eveleen. 'Depend upon it, Laura, it is all your fault. You only danced once with him at our ball, and all this week you have played for us, as if it was on purpose to cut him.
Kiomi's eyes lightened, and her lips twitched; she coloured like the roofing smoke of the tent fire; twice she showed her teeth, as in a spasm, struck to the heart, unable to speak, breathing in and out of a bitterly disjoined mouth. Eveleen ran. I guessed at the ill-word spoken. Kiomi sat eyeing the wood-ashes, a devouring gaze that shot straight and read but one thing.
He handed the others in, and shut the door. Mrs. Edmonstone, ruffled out of her composure, exclaimed, 'Well, this is provoking! 'Every one will be vexed, said Laura. 'It will be so stupid, said Amy. 'I give him up, said Eveleen. 'I once had hopes of him. 'If it was not for papa, I really would turn back this moment and fetch him, cried Mrs. Edmonstone, starting forward.
Now that the familiar scenes were beginning to wear their original features to me, my dread of personal hideousness was distressing, though Eveleen declared the bad blood in my cheeks and eyes 'had been sucked by pounds of red meat. I wondered, whether if I stood up and walked to either one of the three great halls lying in an obtuse triangle within view, I should easily be recognized.
You know it is not even an engagement, and nothing must be done which can make Guy feel in the least bound? Eveleen promised, and Mrs. Edmonstone knew that she had sense and proper feeling enough for her promise to deserve trust. For falsehood now doth flow, And subject faith doth ebbe, Which would not be, if reason ruled, Or wisdom weav'd the webbe.
