You must have been born for trouble ." "Now, Sue, don't!" Annabel protested. "Just because you had her last year and didn't like her " "Do you? Does Ruth? Does anybody?" Sue asked. "Miss North does," Ruth replied; "and Mrs.
"Pshaw!" said Mrs. Easterfield. "I don't believe it's anything." "A wedding is something. A very great something. It is a solemn thing; and made more solemn by the loss of my secretary." "What!" almost screamed his wife. "Mr. Hemphill?" "The very man.
If she made this known then she feared there might be a scene at the table. Mr. Hemphill turned pale when, that afternoon, his hostess, in an exceedingly clear and plain manner, made known to him his fate. For a few moments he did not speak.
As has been said before, Mrs. Easterfield was exceedingly interested; she was even a little agitated, which was not common with her. She had Mr. Hemphill conducted to his room, and then she waited for him to come down; this also was not common with her.
