"Oh," she exclaimed, suddenly starting up, "Mrs. Forbes thought I'd better wear my sailor suit instead of this, and she told me not to sit down on anything dirty." She carefully turned up the skirt of her little frock and seated herself again on a very brief petticoat. Mrs. Evringham smiled. "Mrs. Forbes is careful of you, isn't she?" she asked.
They haven't a particle of respect, you know, for anything. If I were in Anna Belle's place, I should put up a sign, 'Private Grounds." "Oh, she's so unselfish she wouldn't. If they only won't break the flowers she won't care," returned the child, entering into the fancy with zest. Mr. Evringham took the doll from her arms, and carrying it up the steps deposited it in the piazza chair.
I want to understand our affairs; to know if we have anything, and what it is; to have you help me, you; to have you tell me how we can live independently, and help me to make mother agree to it. Oh, if you would if you could be my friend, grandfather. I need you so!" Mr. Evringham received this impetuous outburst without change of countenance. "How about Ballard?" he said.
About that sort of thing my perceptions are always so keen." "H'm. I read the letters, and I judged from them that one can trust her. Will you be seated?" He placed a chair. "I should like to ask your plans for the summer." Mrs. Evringham looked up quickly, startled. "Oh, I haven't any. Have you?" "Yes. I always seek some cool spot. You have an invitation to View Point, I understand.
"I didn't want to disturb you, grandpa, but may I ask one question?" "Yes." "Did I consult Dr. Ballard this afternoon?" "Not that I noticed," returned Mr. Evringham; and Jewel suspected from his expression that she had said something amusing. "Well, it was a word that sounded like consult that Mrs. Forbes said I did." "Insult, perhaps," suggested Mr. Evringham. "Oh yes.
"Didn't the roses make mother happy?" asked the little girl, trotting along beside his long strides. "I think it was wonderful for you to bring them so early in the morning." Mr. Evringham summoned a cab. "Oh, are we gong in a carriage?" cried Jewel, highly pleased. "But I mustn't forget, grandpa, there's something father told me I must give you the first thing.
"I believe she did." "And do you think it did the horse any good?" "Don't be absurd!" cried her mother laughingly, on nettles lest the girl displease the young doctor. "Don't crowd me, Eloise, don't crowd me," responded Mr. Evringham. "I'd rather have something a little more substantial doing for a sick horse than the prayers of an infant; eh, Ballard?"
"She ought to have rest, and of course you would stay too, to take care of her." A flash like sunlight illumined the child's tears. Mr. Evringham expected to feel her arms thrown around his neck. Instead, she turned suddenly, and running to her father, jumped into his lap. "Father, father," she said, "don't you want us to go with you?" Harry cleared his throat.
"Well, we mustn't have you imposed upon," returned Mr. Evringham, feeling guilty of the situation. "The child must obey you implicitly, implicitly." So saying he passed into the house, and after making a change in his toilet, entered the dining-room.
The broker's heart swelled within him as he pressed her to his breast. Her sorrow filled him with tender elation, and he winked hard. "There isn't isn't any sorrow in mind, grandpa. Shouldn't you you think I'd remember it? Divine Love always always takes care of us and just because I don't see how He's going going to this time I'm crying! Oh, it's so so naughty!" Mr. Evringham swallowed fast.
