Hilbrough," he interrupted, taking a softer tone than before, and leaning forward and resting his left hand on his knee, and again wiping his forehead with his handkerchief, "my whole destiny is involved in the welfare of Phillida Callender. I haven't quarreled with her, but I should like to show her that this faith-curing is a mistake and likely to make her ridiculous. You said that Mrs.
"I don't believe it can be done, though I should be glad if it could." "Did she tell you that she is deeply interested in that reception to Baron Pohlsen next week?" "Yes; she is attached to Mrs. Hilbrough. She makes friends without the least regard to social consequences, and I believe even has friendships among the people with whom she is only connected by her mission Sunday-school class.
But now that Hilbrough was vice-president of the Bank of Manhadoes, the new business relations brought her invitations from beyond the little planetary system that revolved around the Reverend Dr. North.
Hilbrough very content with herself, her dinner, and her guest. This is the sort of politeness not acquired in dancing-school nor learned in books of decorum; it is art, and of all the fine arts perhaps the one that gives the most substantial pleasure to human beings in general. Even Hilbrough was pleased with Millard's appreciation of Mrs.
But he is greatly annoyed that she should be talked about and ridiculed as a faith-doctor. He is a man of society, and he feels such things. Now, considering how much danger of mistake and of enthusiasm there is in such matters, Phillida might yield a little to so good a man."

But Agatha put everything in perfect order, and then insisted on dressing her sister with a little more pains than usual. "I wouldn't wonder if Mrs. Hilbrough calls this afternoon," said the young hypocrite.
Hilbrough of his relations with herself, and she felt a resentment that Millard should discuss the matter with a third person. He had no doubt got Mrs. Maginnis's story from Mrs. Hilbrough, and for this she partly reproached her own lack of frankness. She presently asked herself what Charley's call on Mrs. Hilbrough had to do with the luncheon to which she had just been invited?
But diphtheria was another matter. "I wish I knew how she's getting along this afternoon," said Mrs. Hilbrough. "I would call again at once," said Millard, "but, you know, my relations are peculiar. To call twice in a day might seem intrusive." "I would drive there at once," said Mrs. Hilbrough, meditatively, "but Mr.
Frankland could be rightly coached and guided, she might by private conversation with Phillida counteract the evil wrought by her public speech. Mrs. Hilbrough's state of antagonism continued to the very close of the address, and then while many were thanking and congratulating the speaker, and receiving the greetings she gave with ever-fresh effusiveness, Mrs. Hilbrough came in her turn, and Mrs.
You don't know a great many people on this side of the river yet, and so I guess I sha'n't have to put hoops on the house this time, unless you fetch all Brooklyn across the new bridge." Mrs. Hilbrough did not care to contradict her husband now that he had relented.
