Then, as we turned to put on our coats, I asked with suitable precaution: "Do you suppose that he has the same secret suspicions as ourselves, and that it is to hide these he insists upon the jewel's having been taken away from him at a point the ladies are known not to have approached?" Young Ashley bent somewhat startled eyes on mine.
Evringham patted the collie's head, then took Jewel's hand and placed it with his own on the sleek forehead. The golden eyes met his attentively. "You're to take care of her, Topaz. Do you understand?" he asked. The feathery tail waved harder. Jewel gazed at the dog. "If anything could be too good to be true, he'd be it," she said slowly. Mr.
As well make much of Anna Belle as any other idol. Everything was stuffed with sawdust! How the sunbeams glanced in the woods that day as Jewel, one hand clasping her doll and the other in Eloise's, skipped along the road to the ravine! When they had stooped under the wire and gone down the bank, how the brook sang, and how the violets bloomed in Jewel's garden!
Once in the hall, she paused for a minute. Then instead of descending the stairs, she ran noiselessly up the next flight. The rain was pelting steadily on the dome of golden glass through which light fell to the halls. She stole, as she had done yesterday, to the door of Jewel's room. Again as yesterday she heard a voice, but this time it was singing.
Jewel flew to open to him and saw the white capped maid who had appeared at luncheon. "They are all at table, and Mr. Evringham wishes you to come down," she said. "But I was waiting for the gong." "We only have that at noon." Jewel's feet flew down the stairs. Her grandfather had sent for her.
Until his arrival Beverly had ridden Jewel, her fourteen-hand pony, and been quite content, but Jewel's luster was dimmed by Apache's brilliant "shines," as old Uncle Abel called his cavortings when feeling exceptionally fit from his unaccustomed diet of oats and feed.
At any rate," after a pause and scrutiny of her, "it's your face, it's my Jewel's face, that suits me and that I want to keep. If I can find somebody who can do it and not change you into some one else, I am going to have a little picture painted; a miniature, that I can carry in my pocket when Essex Maid and I are left alone."
In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error self-will, self-justification, and self-love! Jewel's helped me to dissolve enough so I could face handing over the keys of this house to her mother. I'm not saying I could have offered them to everybody." Mrs. Evringham smiled. "Thank you.
I thought 'never mind if I can't go riding, I can tie Jewel's hair ribbons." The child laughed a little, even though her companion did not. "Oh grandpa, you're such a joker," she said; "just like father." But he saw that she doubted his mood, and the toe of one of the overshoes was boring into the carpet as she stood where she had withdrawn from him.
Very probably there were many returned exiles as well as others who brought back word of the crusade on the Continent; but Jewel's words put the matter formally before the queen and her government. We can trace the effect of the ecclesiastic's appeal still further.
