He next groped his way in the dim light toward a mantelshelf, and took down a savings-bank, a florid little structure with "Bank of England" stamped over the miniature door, into which the jovial gentleman who frequented the house often slipped pieces of silver for the children, and into which Flossy dipped only when she was in a state of temporary financial embarrassment. Now for provisions.
A gasp issued from Flossy's pale lips. Her danger was clear to her now. "Give it back to me!" she said. "I will have it I tell you I will!" Enid's hand was frail and slight; not for one moment could she have resisted Mrs. Vane's superior strength for Flossy could be strong when occasion called for strength and she did not try.
She could give you a detailed account even now of that hour of thought; so could I, and I am awfully tempted; but, you see, it is only Tuesday, and the girls have six more days to spend at Chautauqua. Both Ruth and Flossy got their crumb to think over. They discussed it at the hotel that evening. "I tell you, Flossy, if Dr.
She had taken no part in the war of words that had been passing between Marion and Eurie, but she had heard. And like almost everything else that she heard during these days, it had awakened a new thought and desire. Flossy was growing amazed at herself.
"I want to get the ceremony over as soon as possible as soon as you will consent. When shall it be!" "One moment, Hubert. Tell me first what I want to know. Is Flossy right in saying that Cynthia loves you?" "You may be quite sure that Flossy is infernally wrong in anything she says!" he answered. He had never spoken so roughly to her before.
So it did Flossy, though in a different way; she was sure to side with the stronger party. "It would be pleasanter for us all to keep together," she began in a doubtful tone, looking first at Miss Erskine and then at Eurie. "But since, according to Eurie's and my decided differences, it is impossible for us to do the 'better' thing, which of the two worse things are you going to do?"
"I am depraved to that degree, my dear little saint. I conclude that you are more devoutly inclined, and have one of your own. Pray how many chapters a day do you read in it?" Eurie lay down again, and Flossy came with the vinegar cloth and bound it securely on her forehead. "I don't read in it very often, to be sure," Eurie murmured. "In fact I suppose I may as well say that I never do.
It was a womanly face, strong, true, filled with character, not so apt, perhaps, to be considered pretty, as lovable a face to awaken confidence, and trust; a low, broad forehead, shadowed still by the wide-brimmed hat, and the flossy brown hair; the skin clear, the cheeks rounded, and slightly flushed by excitement; the lips full and finely arched; the chin firm and smooth.
Her brows were drawn together over her eyes in an angry frown; she was biting her lip, much as Flossy had been doing, and there was not a gleam of good humor or pleasure in her eyes. Hubert wondered idly why she had come, when she seemed to enjoy her occupation so very little. The opening of the doors was the signal for a volley of clapping, stamping, and shouting.
"Haven't the least idea," Marion said, composedly gathering her wrappings; "it sounded as much like any other word you happen to think of as it did like that, but everybody is going, and Flossy and I are determined to be in the fashion so we go too." At the door dismay seized upon Flossy. A light drizzly rain was falling.
