"I don't see any, my child," said Mrs. Farrington, smiling. "Where's father?" asked Elise. "He's out," said her mother; "we're waiting for dinner until he comes." Just then a ring was heard at the front door-bell. "There's your father now," said Mrs. Farrington abruptly; "Patty, my dear, won't you run up to my bedroom and get me my vinaigrette?" "Why, you have it on, Mrs.
"Haven't seen you fer an age. What's the news at Craig's Corner? Set down, you look about tuckered out." "Should say I was," Miles drawled forth. "Never got into such a mess in all my life. Skated down river Sunday evening and was caught in that blasted snowstorm, and so am footing it back." "Dear me, that's hard luck," and Farrington sat down upon a soap-box. "Anyway, I'm mighty glad to see ye.
Vandam will be present. I'd rather have her come willingly than to force her to come. Incidentally watch that manager of hers, Farrington. By all means he must accompany her." That evening I dropped casually in on Mrs. Popper. She was a woman of great brilliance and delicacy, both in her physical and mental perceptions, of exceptional vivacity and cleverness.
"Well, you don't look as if you'd ever lost a wink in your life," said Chet, glancing at her admiringly, for it was an open secret with the boys and girls of North Bend that Chet rather especially liked tall, dark, peace-loving Violet Farrington perhaps because she was so much like himself. Violet blushed prettily at this complimentary remark, and the girls looked at her teasingly.
The party went on into the Chateau, and visited rooms and apartments one after the other. It was necessary to do this quickly if they were to do it at all, and, as Mr. Farrington said, a hasty tour of the palace would give them an idea of it as a whole, and sometime he would bring the girls again to enjoy the details more at leisure.
"Well, we, too, have achieved an important success to-day," went on Mr. Farrington; "we have secured a foothold in this somewhat uncertain city, and we shall soon have a roof over our heads that we can call our own, for a time, at least." "Oh, you took the house, then," exclaimed Elise; "how jolly! and when are we going there to live?" "As soon as it can be made habitable," said Mrs.
Selwyn's life, though passed in a momentous age, was uneventful, but the course of it must be traced. George Augustus Selwyn, second son of Colonel John Selwyn, of Matson, in Gloucestershire, and of Mary, daughter of General Farrington, of Kent, was born on the 11th of August, 1719.
We will hope you can do better work in time. But don't force yourself. Above all have nothing to do with agents of film people who may want you to write something that they may rush into the market for the benefit of the advertising your school play will give you." "No, Mr. Farrington," said Ruth, kindly. "I do not want to join your forces.
Farrington declared that she could do no sightseeing that day, as the somewhat fatiguing trip to Versailles made her quite contented to rest quietly for a time. So Patty employed her morning happily enough in writing letters home and in arranging her post-card album. "I'm so glad," she said to Elise, "that Clementine gave me this great big album, for I see already it is none too large.
Farrington proposed that they should all go to the dining-room for a bit of supper before retiring. It seemed to her but a short time since they had dined; and yet she realised the suggestion was not entirely unwelcome. "Is it imperative that we shall eat more meals on sea than on land?" she inquired, as they took their places at the table.
