It was a by-word in the school that his favorites had the stormiest lessons. "I'm thankful I'm not a pet pupil," declared Fil, whose playing was hardly of a classical order. "I should have forty fits if he stalked about the room, and tore his hair, and shouted like he does with Janie.
Aunt Cattie smiled inwardly at the contrast between these twin sisters, yet their resemblance to their former selves when, six years before, she had visited England. It was the same Janie who, at seven years old, devoured books of geography and history, but laid down Aesop's Fables in disgust, unable to detect truth embedded in fiction.
Mary was so successful in interesting the people in mission work that the Board of Missions asked her to stay longer and visit more churches. Mary did what the Board asked, although she was anxious to get back to Africa. At last this work was finished. Now she could go back. Mary was getting ready to go back to Africa when her sister Janie became sick.
Slessor continued his occupation as a shoemaker, and then became a labourer in one of the mills. The youngest child, Janie, was born in Dundee. All the family were delicate, and it was not long before Mary was left with only two sisters and a brother Susan, John, and Janie. Mrs.
"Take Janie to the station, careful careful " in that droning, even voice a horse always knows how to interpret. There, she touched the back platform, told her horse to wait, and threw his strap over the livery post; then she hurried to the front to find her freshmen. There they were! Bags in hand, standing now as the train was pulling in.
Percival changed the subject: "So you go to Mrs. Barton's still? I didn't know that till last Monday." "When you rescued Janie from imminent peril. Oh, I have heard," said Judith with a smile. "Please to describe me as risking my own life in the act. It would be a pity not to make me heroic while you are about it." "Janie would readily believe it.
I wear a crown in the last act. And everybody rejoices. Except her. I think it will be good. We have nearly finished the first act. She writes very well. And has a sense of atmosphere. And I tell her what to say. Miss Janie is going to make me a dress with a train. And gold spangles. And Robina is going to lend me her blue necklace. Anything will do of course for the old witch.
When any one was the object of Rossetti's devotion, there was no extravagant length to which he would not go in demonstrating it. He bought a white bull because it had "eyes like Janie Morris," and tethered it on the lawn of his home in Chelsea. Soon there was no lawn left only the bull!
Suddenly he cried, 'I can't do it. Then my heart leapt, because I thought he meant he couldn't marry Janie Iver. I looked up at him and I suppose I said something. He caught me by the arm. I thought he was going to kiss me, Mina. And then then he told me that Blent was mine not himself but Blent that I was Lady Tristram, and he Harry Nothing he said, Harry Nothing-at-all."
So whenever I run up to the City of Light, en permission, I look her up, and take her the latest news and for an hour, over the candles, we pretend that I am Philippe, and that she is Janie. Only she says that I don't pretend very well and it's just possible that she's right. "Mon petit coeur et grand trésor, I wish that I could take you flying with me this evening. You'd be daft about it!
