But when she passed the mirror in an insurance office window, she saw her reflection and at its appearance she felt surprise and pleasure. "Well!" she thought, almost in Ina's own manner. Abruptly her confidence rose. Something of this confidence was still upon her when she returned.
The summer seems to linger here after it has fled from the uplands. There was a goodly company gathered in Ina's hall for the twelfth night feasting. Truly, the hall was not so great as that in the palace at Winchester, but it was all the brighter for that reason.
"And what in the world could you have prettier, if you were to get a new one?" "Oh, this Banbridge dressmaker is really making charming things," said Mrs. Carroll, rather eagerly. She had a childish fondness for new clothes. "She would make me a beautiful dress, so far as that goes, Anna, dear." "She has all she can do with Ina's things." "I reckon she could squeeze in one for me, Anna.
But, no; and the consequence is that we shall be dependent on France for our best clothes for generations more." "It does seem such a pity," said Mrs. Carroll. "It would be so nice to have Ina's things made in Paris if it didn't cost anything to get them over here wouldn't it?" "I would just as soon have my dresses made in Banbridge," said Ina. "Madame Griggs is as good as a French dressmaker."
Monona entered this request with precision on Ina's nastiest moments, but she always rose, unabashed, and went, motherly and dutiful, to hear devotions, as if that function and the process of living ran their two divided channels. She had dispatched this errand and was returning when Mrs. Bett crossed the lawn from Grandma Gates's, where the old lady had taken comfort in Mrs.
And through it all I had an eye for Worth as he met and disposed of the effusive welcome of the younger Thornhill girls. Either of the twins, as I found them to be, would, I judged, have been more than willing to fill out sister Ina's unexpired term, and the little snub-nosed one, also a sister it seemed, plainly adored him as a hero, sexlessly, as they sometimes can at that age.
"Thornhill, Ina's father, made fifteen or twenty thousand a year I would say, and the family lived it up. He had a stroke and died in a week's time. Left Mrs. Thornhill with her daughters, her big house, her fine social position and mighty little to keep it up on. Ina is the eldest.
When Piers entered his wife's room, that room which he had not entered since the night of Ina's wedding, his tread was catlike in its caution, and all the eagerness was gone from his face. Then only did the doctor's hand fall from him, so that he advanced alone. She was lying on one side of the great four-poster, straight and motionless as a recumbent figure on a tomb. Her head was in deep shadow.
You are doing your duty; and as you do it partly to please me, I ought to try and reward you; ought I not?" And she gave him a strange look. "I advise you not to press that question," said he. At the very hour of parting, Ina's eyes were moist with tenderness, but there was a smile on her face very expressive; yet he could not make out what it meant. She did not cry. He thought that hard.
I've got enough to get through to-night." Dwight had come home. Lulu could hear Ina pouring out to him the mysterious circumstance of the hag, could hear the exaggerated air of the casual with which he always received the excitement of another, and especially of his Ina. Then she heard Ina's feet padding up the stairs, and after that Di's shrill, nervous laughter.
