I should like it mightily; it looks so cool and airy. 'How can you, Eva? whispered Laura, reprovingly; but Lady Eveleen only shook her head at her, and declaring she saw a dangerous nail sticking out, began to hammer it in with such good will, that Charles stopped his ears, and told her it was worse than her tongue. 'Go on about the ball, do.
She talked of her aunt Kiomi affectionately, for a gipsy girl, whose modulated tones are all addressed to the soft public. Eveleen spoke with the pride of bated breath of the ferocious unforgivingness of their men. Perhaps if she had known that I traced the good repute of the tribes for purity to the sweeter instincts of the women, she would have eulogized her sex to amuse me.
Kiomi's arms tightened over my breast. The involuntary pressure was like an illumination to me. No longer asking for the grounds of the attack on a mistaken person, and bowing to the fiction that none of the tribe had been among my assailants, I obtained information. The girl Eveleen had spied me entering Durstan.
'What can you find to say against them? said Eveleen. 'Nothing, said Charles, 'No one ever can find anything to say for or against young ladies' tastes. 'You seem to be rather in the case of the tailor yourself, said Guy, 'ready to do battle, if you could but get any opposition. 'Only tell me, said Amy, 'how you could wish to live in the civil wars?
Laura could not help saying that there might be many excuses; then afraid that she was exciting suspicion, changed the subject in great haste, and tried to make Eveleen come indoors, telling her she would tire herself to death, and vexed by her cousin's protestations that the fresh cool air did her good.
'And we perfectly exhausted with answering questions as to what was become of Sir Guy. 'Dreadful, said Guy, now laughing heartily, in the persuasion that it was all a joke. 'O, Lady Eveleen, good morning; you are come in good time to give me the story of the ball, for no one else tells me one word about it. 'Because you don't deserve it, said she. 'I hope you have repented by this time.
'What? she whispered to Eveleen. "The Land of the Leal," was the answer. 'I wish he would sing it now, said Ellen Harper. 'This darkness would be just the time for music, said Eveleen; 'it is quite a witching time. 'Why don't you ask him? said Ellen. 'Come, Charlotte, there's a good girl, go and ask him. 'Shall I? said Charlotte, whispering and giggling with an affectation of shyness.
'Lady Eveleen has been a great deal at Hollywell, has she not? I rather wondered my aunt should like to have her there, considering all things. 'What things, sister? 'Considering what a catch he would be for one of the Edmonstone girls. 'I thought you had just been pitying the woman who should marry him. Perhaps my aunt had Lady Eveleen there to act as a screen for her own daughters.
It was a very pretty castle in the air; but in the midst of it, the notion suddenly darted into Mrs. Edmonstone's head, that while she was thinking of it, it was Amy, not Eveleen, who was constantly with Guy. Reading and music, roses, botany, and walks on the terrace! She looked back, and it was still the same.
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.
