"It's true as preaching, guardy. You know I don't tell fibs except in fun. I don't know where I was, and so I can't tell you, and I'd a good deal rather you wouldn't ask me." "Mollie!" "Oh, what's the use of Mollieing?" cried the young lady, waxing impatient.
Her face did not fall; she gave her feather-laugh. "How dreadful of you to think I came for that! But I am in an awful fix, Guardy." "Never knew you not to be." "Just let me tell you, dear; it'll be some relief. I'm having the most terrible time." She sank into a low chair, disengaging an overpowering scent of violets, while melancholy struggled to subdue her face and body. "The most awful fix.
Girl-like, she wrote to him every day. "I do wish you would adopt me, guardy," she wrote one day, "and bring me home; I am so tired of this place. The principal always calls upon me to look after all the little young fry in his school. Morning and night I have to hear their prayers and hunt the shoes and stockings that they throw at one another across the dormitory.
And what did Walter say when you told him my marriage-day was fixed? inquired Gladys, as she tied the ribbon on her hair. 'I shall not tell you what he said, answered the little spinster, quite severely for her. 'You are in a mood which would make you laugh at an honest heart's suffering. 'You think very highly of me, Guardy, I must say, said Gladys a trifle unsteadily.
It's new and it's nice, and I never get tired, or pale, or limpy, like most of the girls. I never enjoyed myself so much in my life, and you would say the same thing, guardy, only you're in your honey-moon, and not capable of enjoying anything." "But, Mollie," Mr. Walraven remonstrated, "it isn't right to flirt so much as you do. There's young Ingelow.
Phyllis, come and talk to Guardy!" When the girl was installed beside him on the sofa, and he had felt that little thrill of warmth the proximity of youth can bring, he said: "Been a good girl?" She shook her head. "Can't, when Jock's not at school. Mother can't pay for him this term." Hearing his name, the boy Jock blew his ocarina till Mrs.
The girl moved aside; and on tiptoe Phyllis passed in. She walked to where, between the lamp-glow and the fire-glow, she was lighted up. White satin her first low-cut dress the flush of her first supper party a gardenia at her breast, another in her fingers! Oh! what a pity he was asleep! How red he looked! How funnily old men breathed! And mysteriously, as a child might, she whispered: "Guardy!"
I wouldn't mind going with you sometimes when I didn't have to study." Julia Cloud stooped, and kissed the eager face, and whispered, "Very happy, darling!" And then they went to the agent again and the telephone. "Guardy Lud" proved himself quite equal to the occasion by agreeing to come on at once and approve their choice, and promised to be there before evening.
Ellen Robinson appeared on the scene just in time to witness the hearty hand-shake that Guardy Lud gave Julia Cloud as he picked up the papers and went up-stairs for his suitcase while Allison went after the car to take him to the train. "Is that man married?
I told him how it would be, but of course nobody ever minds what I say. Poor guardy! what ever would become of him traveling alone with that woman! How thankful he ought to be that he has me to go along and take care of him!" For Mollie had made it an express stipulation, contrary to all precedent, that she was to accompany the happy pair on their bridal tour.
