I'll not allow anybody to come blushing around me " Indignation choked him; he turned on his heel to enter the house and beheld Flavilla and Drusilla regarding him, wide-eyed. He went in, waving them away before him. "I've taught that young pup a lesson," he said with savage satisfaction. "I'll teach him to blush at me! I'll " "But why," asked Drusilla, "are you so cruel to Mr. Yates?
The sunlight fell on the maid's coquettish cap and apron, and sparkled upon the buckle of one dainty shoe. It also glittered across the monocle of Mr. Carr. "Pa-pah!" cried Flavilla. Far away her parent waved a careless greeting to his offspring, then resumed his oars and his song. "How extraordinary!" said Flavilla.
The inequality which had hitherto kept me at a distance being now levelled, I was received with every evidence of respect: Lucius told me the fortune which he intended for his favourite daughter; many odd accidents obliged us to be often together without company, and I soon began to find that they were spreading for me the nets of matrimony. Flavilla was all softness and complaisance.
"If we are going to sketch Cooper's Bluff this morning," observed Drusilla to Flavilla, "I think we had better go quietly by way of the kitchen garden. Evidently Pa-pah does not care for Mr. Yates." Orlando, the family cat, strolled in, conciliatory tail hoisted. Mr. Carr hurled a cushion at Orlando, then beat madly upon his own head with both hands.
With this resolution I was better contented, as it procured me the company of Flavilla, in which the days passed away amidst continual rapture; but in time I began to be ashamed of sitting idle, in expectation of growing rich by the death of my benefactor, and proposed to Lucius many schemes of raising my own fortune by such assistance as I knew my uncle willing to give me.
Contempt has driven out my love, and I am content to have purchased, by the loss of fortune, an escape from a harpy, who has joined the artifices of age to the allurements of youth. I am now going to pursue my former projects with a legacy which my uncle bequeathed me, and if I succeed, shall expect to hear of the repentance of Flavilla. I am, Sir, Yours, &c. No. 193.
Yates shows Drusilla how to hold her pencil," said Flavilla, becoming warmly earnest in her appreciation of this self-sacrificing young man. "He often lays aside his own sketching and guides Drusilla's hand while she holds the pencil " "And when I'm tired," said Drusilla, "and the water colors get into a dreadful mess, Mr.
Lemuel ignored the latter. "The doctor'll be here at about eleven," he announced. "Mind you listen to all he says and get Flavilla into a clean nightgown and sheets." "What's the matter with your tending to her?" Bella demanded. "I won't be here; not till night. I'm going to put up hay with one of the farmers. I hear they're in a hurry and offering good money." Bella's expression was strange.
"Why, he said quite frankly that he thought me the most delightful girl he had ever met." "What else?" Mr. Carr's voice was scarcely audible. "Nothing," said Drusilla; "except that he said he cared for me very much and wished to know whether I ever could care very much for him.... I told him I thought I could. Flavilla told him so, too.... And we all felt rather happy, I think; at least I did."
The doctor, he knew, would expect his fee, two dollars, immediately from such an applicant as himself; and he had less than a dollar. He explained something of this over the wire, adding that if Markley would see Flavilla at the end of the day the money would be forthcoming.
