She was eager to reach him, yet when she entered the dining-room, her little face all alight, it was not so easy to run to him as she had fancied. He sat stiffly at the foot of the table. Opposite him was aunt Madge, and at her left sat the prettiest young lady the child had ever seen. Mrs. Forbes stood near Mr. Evringham, looking very serious.
The two found themselves smiling at each other. The atmosphere was lightened, and the brougham drew up at the clubhouse. Mr. Evringham handed out the girl, gave Zeke the order to return for them, and they went up the steps. "I would drive back with him, grandfather, only that mother would wonder, and ask questions," said Eloise. "Don't let me detain you in any way.
Evringham took on the rich carpet, each glance she cast at the park through the clear sheets of plate glass in the windows, each smooth-running drawer, each undreamed-of convenience in the closet with its electric light for dark days, impressed her afresh with a sense of wondering pleasure.
She should go in once a day, madam, once a day." "Oh, grandpa!" protested Jewel, "not even wade?" "We'll speak of that later; but put on your bathing-suit once a day only." Mr. Evringham looked down at the glowing face seriously. Jewel lifted her wet shoulders and returned his look. "Put it on in the morning, then, and keep it on all day?" she suggested, smiling.
"Why do doctors generally visit patients?" "Then when he came the second time he found her well?" "Ha, ha," laughed Mr. Evringham, "yes, that's it. He found her well." Eloise and her mother gazed at him in astonishment. Mrs. Forbes's face was immovable. A sense of humor was not included in her mental equipment, and she considered the whole affair lamentable and unseemly in the extreme.
I heard tell once that there was a cold hell as well as a hot one. Think says I, when the governor was looking me over the other day, 'You've set sail for the cold place, old boy." "Zeke Forbes, don't you ever let me hear you say such a thing again!" exclaimed Mrs. Forbes. "Mr. Evringham is the finest gentleman within one hundred miles of New York city.
"No, I'd like to be alone, I have so much work to do." "Dear me, dear me!" thought Mr. Evringham, "this is very distressing. She seems to have lucid intervals, and then so quickly gets flighty again." "Besides, I like to think of the Ravine of Happiness," continued the child, "and the brook. Supposing I could lay my cheek down in the brook now.
"The child's slept too much, I'm sure of it, Ballard," was his greeting. "I don't know what we're going to find up there, I declare I don't." "It depends on whether it's a good sleep," returned the doctor, and his composed face and manner acted at once beneficially upon Mr. Evringham. "Well, you'll know, Guy, you'll know, my boy. Mrs.
The countenances of the others showed consternation. Mrs. Forbes turned pale. Had Zeke done anything, or left something undone? She dropped her tray and hastened after Mr. Evringham. Eloise noticed that Jewel's eyes were closed. In a minute the child pushed back from the table, and without a word to the others she hurried to the scene of trouble. She met Mrs.
You are not now or at any future time to try to make a Christian Scientist of Essex Maid." From wondering sobriety Jewel's lips broke into a gleeful smile. "I don't have to," she cried triumphantly.
