I don't see what is to become of us, unless and I wonder if maybe that isn't it? we just do two or three rather right things in a no-particular sort of a way." "Barbara, how nice you are!" cried Ruth. "No. I'm a thorn. Don't touch me." "We never have company when we are having sewing done," said Mrs. Holabird. "We can always manage that." "I don't want to play Box and Cox," said Rosamond.
Hadden for Reba. There, mother. It's in your head now! Please turn it over with a nice little think, and tell me you would just as lief, and that you believe perhaps I could!" By this time Ruth was round behind Mrs. Holabird's chair, with her two hands laid against her cheeks. Mrs. Holabird leaned her face down upon one of the hands, holding it so, caressingly. "I am sure you could, Ruthie.
He would do something, and let you know. A real business man would make this Saftleigh fellow afraid." The Thaynes Mrs. Dakie Thayne is our dear little old friend Ruth Holabird, you know had been visiting in Boston; staying partly here, and partly at Mrs. Frank Scherman's. At Asenath's they were real "comfort-friends;" Asenath had the faculty of gathering only such about her.
I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to try me; for I should like to do it, and I think I could show her all I know; and then I could take lessons myself of Mr. Viertelnote.

Ruth Holabird had a direct little fashion of going straight through whatever crust of outside appearance to that which must respond to what she had at the moment in herself.
Holabird had put on his hat and coat again, and gone off west over to see his father; and Stephen had "piled" out into the kitchen, to communicate his delight to Winifred, with whom he was on terms of a kind of odd-glove intimacy, neither of them having in the house any precisely matched companionship. This ought to have been foreseen, and an embargo put on; for it led to trouble.
Get grandfather to have some of the floors stained. I think rugs, and English druggets, put down with brass-headed nails, in the middle, are delightful. Especially for a country house." "It seems, then, we are going?" Nobody had even raised a question of that. Nobody raised a question when Mr. Holabird came in. He himself raised none.
And Ruth's little undeveloped plans, which the facile fingers were to carry out, received a fresh and sudden impetus. You have thus the three heads of the present chapter. How could any one help taking a fancy to Rosamond Holabird? In the first place, as Mrs. Van Alstyne said, there was the name, "a making for anybody"; for names do go a great way, notwithstanding Shakespeare.
"Her ups and downs are just like yours," said Dakie Thayne to Ruth Holabird. It made Ruth very glad to be told she was at all like Leslie; it gave her an especially quick pulse of pleasure to have Dakie Thayne say so. She knew he thought there was hardly any one like Leslie Goldthwaite. "O, they won't exactly do, you know!" said Adelaide Marchbanks, with an air of high free-masonry.
Rufus, I don't say whether he was my grandfather or not, for it doesn't matter which Holabird tells this story, or whether it is a Holabird at all bought land here ever so many years ago, and built a large, plain, roomy house; and here the boys grew up, Roderick and Rufus and Stephen and John.
