"Well," she concluded, with an ominous flash in her eyes at her fair reflection in the mirror, "whether I can incite any one to better things or not, I can at least do some freezing out. That gossipy, selfish old Mr. Lanniere must take his million to some other market. I have no room in my life for him. Neither do I dote on the future acquaintance of Mr. Strahan.

There are those who remember the time when Fanny was a beautiful girl, happy-go-lucky but always kind-hearted. Now she is famous for her marvelous instinct for news gathering and her great talent in weaving the odds and ends of commonplace daily living into an interesting, gossipy yarn.

I cried, aghast. "More gossipy, more personal. They want 'journalism. They want tremendous trash." "Why, that's just what his letters have been!" I broke out. This was strong, and I caught myself up, but the girl offered me the pardon of a beautiful wan smile. "So Ray himself declares. He says he has stooped so low." "Very well he must stoop lower. He must keep the place."
If I was gossipy, like some, it would be all over town in no time, but you know I never open my lips. But, land sakes! here comes a team. Who can this be?" Eagerly she peered out through the darkness. Then she turned again to the unfortunate pair. "It's Austin in the carryall," she cried excitedly; "now, ain't that a piece of luck? You won't have to walk home, after all.
Thus adjured and threatened, the gossipy footman made a clean breast of it.
