Everything else goes down like ninepins, even if it's a real stately old mother, with her hair fixed-up like Marie Antoinette. We'll wait and see if that time comes along for Mr Greville!" Guest's lip twitched with amusement. "You seem to be very experienced on the subject." "I am so. I've seen quite a good deal of life," said Cornelia, with the air of a female Methuselah.
She would find some ladies, with whom you could sit during the concert." Cornelia made a grimace, the reverse of appreciative. "No, thank you; I guess not! I'm not over-fond of sitting with ladies at any time, but strange ones are the limit. You tell your aunt that it's real kind of her, and I vury much regret that I don't want to go. I've fixed-up just how I'm going to spend the afternoon.
"It's 'most too fixed-up to wear that way every day. But Lutty Williams fusses with a hot iron to get hers so." Then, a new idea striking her, she opened the bureau drawer and took out a white apron with sleeves and long strings. It was a trifle difficult to get on, and still more so to button, but at last this was done, and the strings made into a very respectable bow at the back.
You've got to be covered right up to the chin, and to work in all the blue serge you can, and that's about all there is to it. If you fixed-up like we do at home, you'd make as much stir as the fire-engine. I'd like to mail a few presents, if I saw anything really new and snappy, but I shan't go near a store for myself." "I shall, then!" cried Mrs Moffatt, laughing.
Well, what is it, my dear? Is the house afire, or anything?" "Why don't you talk, and not sit there as still as a post? You haven't said a word for half an hour." "Why, so I haven't, or you either, for that matter. I thought we were sitting here enjoying the calm. Doesn't it look too lovely and fixed-up for anything, Bess? Seems like Sunday.
"It will naturally be a disappointment to me to miss seeing my brother, but I hope the pleasure is only deferred. I am glad to have had an opportunity of making your acquaintance, my dear, though the time is so curtailed." "Yes, I guess we've fixed-up an acquaintance right enough!" said Cornelia, quietly. Seven weeks, or seven years what did it matter?
Her expression was very grave and wistful, but in her eyes shone the light of awakened interest. "Mury! you've been real good and attentive to me. I guess I've given you quite a heap of trouble. I want to make you a present before I go. Would you like it if I fixed-up that house so's you could get married right away?
I decided to keep them, and mailed them to a friend in the country to house for me. I can't be worried with a lot of goods in a hotel, so she gives me store-room until we sail. That's where I'm fixed-up, you see. I can't give him either the goods or the money, and when Silas turns ugly, goodness only knows when he may come back. Maybe not till late at night.
See: Jist when Smythe wanted this job fixed-up, he got a slant o' fourteen bullocks, sold at a gift, for debt; an' he thought that would be the cheapest way to git the work done; for he did n't want to engage any o' your sort, knowin' you'd loaf on the grass, an' most likely make a song about it, an' be the instigation of no end o' trouble watchin' the place.
If the Moffatts have fixed-up a dinner for themselves, some night, we might go to a theatre together!" "Um yes!" Guest surveyed her with doubtful eyes. "I suppose it would be easy enough to find some other lady to play chaperon." "I don't want a chaperon. Why should I? It's no fun having her poking round, and listening to every word one says. It's ever so much nicer alone."
