Faith watched the hard lines of her face as she did so, and wondered what, and how much Dr. Gracie had meant by "setting her to find her out." "I'm afraid you haven't had a vary nice supper," said she, timidly. "Do you like that best?" "Somebody must always eat drumsticks," was the concise reply.
"Oh, what a pretty lady!" cried Gracie, holding out an eager hand for it. Max gave it to her, and Lulu sprang up and bent over her to get a good view of it also. "Who is it?" she asked. "Isn't she pretty? isn't she perfectly beautiful, and sweet-looking as she can be?" said Max, ignoring the question. "Yes, she's just lovely; but why don't you say who she is, if you know?"
"Sometimes I almost think that it is Ester still at work, and that He lets her work through this woman." It was what he said to Gracie Dennis in an aside. Mrs. Roberts had already gone to see in person to the comfort of her guest. She found her standing before the mirror.
More than one policeman regarded them narrowly, as Professor Ellis stood with head bent toward the lady, engaged in eager and animated conversation. It was just the attitude of absorbed interest with which he had so often listened to Gracie; not on the street, it is true, but in some crowded parlor, and it had flattered her. It made her frown to-day.
"I do: I have resigned from the navy, and hope soon to have a home ready for my wife and children, and to live in it with them as long as it shall please God to spare our lives." Tears of joy actually came into the boy's eyes; while Gracie threw her arms round their father's neck, and half smothered him with kisses. "O papa, papa!" she cried, "I'm so glad, I don't know what to do!
Why should her Christian experience stamp her with such a different expression from that which others wore? He always finished this sort of sentence with a blank space first, as though he did not choose to have himself tell himself any names. Yet he spoke a name forcibly enough, still gazing earnestly at Gracie. "Did you ever meet Miss Joy Saunders?" Gracie turned toward him a laughing face.
"But a good fall of snow will provide other pleasures, my son," remarked the captain in a cheery tone. "Yes, sir, so it will," returned Max, echoing the tone. "And beside plenty of indoor amusements have been provided," said Violet. "I think we can all enjoy ourselves vastly, let the weather outside be what it will." "I am sure of it," said her husband. "Gracie, how did you enjoy your ride?"
We've got to take care of you, anyhow, so this is a good time. Now what it really is, is a kind of game. Gracie and I will play it, and you are going to to well, you are going to be the game." Genevieve Maud nodded solemnly, well satisfied. She was in it, anyhow. What mattered the petty details?
The consequence was that Alfred himself served the steaming oysters with liberal hand, and Gracie presided over jellies and sauces, while Mrs. Roberts sugared and creamed and poured cups of such coffee as those fellows had never even smelled before. If you think they were embarrassed to the degree that they could not eat, you are mistaken.
"How glad Sister Lulu will be to see you and Elsie, and Gracie!" "And we'll be just as glad to see her, papa," said Grace. "I know it's not very long since we came away from our own dear home and Lu, but it does seem a long time." "Isn't Lu tired doing without us, papa?" asked Elsie. "I think she is," he replied; "at all events I know she will be very glad to see you.
