They would get a smaller house, which Flavilla would soon learn to keep for him; they would go to church and prayer meeting together, her soprano voice and his bass joined in the praise of the Lord, of the Almighty who raised the dead and his Son, who took the thief to glory.
"There's a ring," observed Flavilla, dabbing on too much ultramarine and using a sponge. "You've got to get her one, Mr. Yates." Drusilla looked at the man beside her and smiled. "How simple it is, after all!" she said. "I have read in the books Pa-pah permits us to read such odd things about love and lovers.... Are we lovers, Mr. Yates? But, of course, we must be, I fancy." "Yes," he said.
Yates will drop his own work and come and talk to me about art and other things " "He is so kind!" cried Flavilla in generous enthusiasm. "And so vitally interesting," said Drusilla. "And so talented!" echoed Flavilla. "And so " Drusilla glanced up, beheld something in the fixed stare of her parent that frightened her, and rose in confusion. "Have I said done anything?" she faltered.
I, who had been excluded by a narrow fortune from much acquaintance with the world, and never been honoured before with the notice of so fine a lady, was easily enamoured. Lucius either perceived my passion, or Flavilla betrayed it; care was taken, that our private meetings should be less frequent, and my charmer confessed by her eyes how much pain she suffered from our restraint.
Behind Mr. Carr, in the doorway, stood Drusilla and Flavilla. The young man tried not to see them; he pretended not to. But he flushed deeply. "I want to know," demanded Mr. Carr, "why the devil you are always around here blushing. You've been around here blushing for a month, and I want to know why you do it." The youth stood speechless, features afire to the tips of his glowing ears.
I'll quietly explain that the machine went off by mistake and that I am only eighteen; and that Flavilla and Drusilla and I are not to come out until next winter. That," she added innocently, "ought to hold him." "The thing to do," said her father, gazing fixedly at her, "is to keep you in your room until you're twenty!" "Oh, Pa-pah!" Mr. Carr smote his florid brow.
Bella and June Bowman had left the house almost directly after him, and Markley, finding it empty, with no response to his repeated knocking, had turned away, being as usual both impatient and hurried. Yes, Bella had gone and left Flavilla without even a glass of water. But Bella didn't matter. He couldn't understand this except where he saw at last that she never had mattered; yet it was so.
And one delicious morning in early June, when the dew sparkled on the poison ivy and the air was vibrant with the soft monotone of mosquitoes and the public road exhaled a delicate aroma of crude oil, Drusilla and Flavilla, laden with sketching-blocks, color-boxes, camp-stools, white umbrellas and bonbons, descended to the great hall, on sketching bent. Mr.
Do you hear?" with a mellow shout like a French horn on a touring car. "Yes, pa-pah!" The old gentleman waved his single eyeglass in token of dismissal, and looked at his watch. "The bus is here," he said fussily. "Come on, Will; come, Linda, and you, Flavilla, Drusilla, and Sybilla, get your furs on. Don't take the elevator. Go down by the stairs, and hurry!
