I think he is much better bred, and he certainly knows much more than Ina's husband, even if he does only keep a grocery store; but then army officers are not supposed to know much except how to fight."
"It is all very well to talk about Ina's being married in four weeks," said Anna Carroll to her sister-in-law, one afternoon directly after the affair had been settled. "If a girl gets married, she has to have new clothes, of course a trousseau." "Why, yes, of course! How could she be married if she didn't have a trousseau?
My dear Lulu, you know how I hate having my mail interfered with." She might have said: "Small souls always make a point of that." She said nothing. She watched them set off, and kept her mind on Ina's thousand injunctions. "Don't let Di see much of Bobby Larkin. And, Lulu if it occurs to her to have Mr. Cornish come up to sing, of course you ask him. You might ask him to supper.
"You flatter me," said Ina, sadly. "Well, he thinks so; and he is reckoned a very good judge. Ah! now I think of it, I will show you something, and then you will believe me." She ran off to the library, snatched up Ina's picture set round with pearls, and came panting in with it. "There," said she; "now you look at that!" and she put it before her eyes. "Now, who is that, if you please?" "Oh!
'Beavers' tails, captured in the creeks off the lake, I suppose; capital food, tasting like bacon, but a little gristly. 'And does the fellow live here, all alone?

Was with me on the Simcoe last year.
They spent two happy months together on the Continent, and returned to London. But Vizard was too old-fashioned, and too proud of his wife, to sneak into Vizard Court with her. He did not make it a county matter; but he gave the village such a fete as had not been seen for many a day. The preparations were intrusted to Mr. Ashmead, at Ina's request.
And then one afternoon of brilliant autumn she was shopping with Gracie in Wardenhurst, and came face to face with Ina Guyes. Dick Guyes had gone into the Artillery, and Ina had returned to her father's house. She and Avery had not met since Ina's wedding day more than a year before; but their recognition was mutual and instant.
"How did you know?" Lulu asked. "Know! Know what?" "That it ain't Lulu Deacon. Hello, mamma." She passed the others, and kissed her mother. "Say," said Mrs. Bett placidly. "And I just ate up the last spoonful o' cream." "Ain't Lulu Deacon!" Ina's voice rose and swelled richly. "What you talking?" "Didn't he write to you?" Lulu asked. "Not a word." Dwight answered this.
There was incredulous amazement in Ina's voice. "You actually had the the the presumption!" Coherent words suddenly seemed to fail her, but she went on regardless, not caring how they came. "A man like Piers, a a Triton like that, such a being as is only turned out once in in a dozen centuries! Oh, fool! Fool!" She clenched her hands, and beat them impotently upon her lap.
The young man pressed Ina's arm as closely and lovingly as he dared. He was yet young enough and innocent enough to be in his heart of hearts as afraid of a girl as, when a child, he had been afraid of his mother. He thought Ina Carroll something wonderful; Charlotte he scarcely thought of at all except with vague approbation because she was Ina's sister.
