"But just the same," said Nancy's roommate, "you stand a good chance in the straightaway races and in the two-mile. Don't you lose courage, Nance. I've watched you and I say that the freshies can afford to cheer for you, just as the sophs are rooting for Judy." So Nancy went down to the ice that evening very much encouraged and more excited than she had ever been since coming to Pinewood Hall.
"They're fine!" And when they had been passed around, all the guests at the party said Bunny was right, and that the tarts were just fine! "I'm so glad you like them," said Aunt Lu, very much pleased. Bunny wanted to give a Punch and Judy show, with Sue, after the meal was over. He said he could wear the big, hollow lobster claw, and make himself look very funny.
Soon she had Norton and Judy and even David running in and out at all hours, to see her or to tell her something. "Great news," said Norton bursting in as usual one evening. "What do you think, Pink? David and Judy have been to be catechized." "Catechized?" Matilda repeated. "Do they learn the catechism?" "Not yours, I promise you," said Norton. "No, not exactly.
"I can't quite remember everything just now, I am so tired, but everything will be all right." "But what'll he say?" Bunty said with frightened eyes, as a vision of his father crossed his mind. "He won't know, of course," Judy returned, in a matter-of-fact manner.
"'ere, where I've lived so 'appily," and he made a wide gesture with one tattered arm to include the earth and sky. He had no secrets apparently; he was glad they should know all. The children had never known such a delightful creature in their lives before. "And you eat anything?" inquired Tim, "anything you can, I mean?" "Anything you can get, he means," corrected Judy softly.
"For an instance of application, then: How many respectable people know or care a jot about their servants, except as creatures necessary to their comfort?" "Well, Miss Clare," said Judy, addressing her for the first time, "if you had had the half to do with servants I have had, you would alter your opinion of them." "I have expressed no opinion," returned Miss Clare.
"Oh, sensible," groaned Judy. "I hate sensible people." "What kind of people do you like?" demanded Anne, indignantly. "Unsensible ones?" "Yes. Dashing people and lively people and funny people and and romantic people but sensible people, oh, dear," and she buried her head again in the pillow. "Judy, get up." "I'll be ready in time." "No, you won't. And breakfast is ready. Judy, get up."
Do you understand?" he finished with a reassuring smile. "Yes, sir; I reckon you-all are 'bout right, an' I won't tell nobody nothin'. But 'tain't a-goin' ter hurt none ter say as how you-all ort ter stay, I reckon." "And why do you think I ought to stay, Judy?"
"Au plaisir, Monseigneur," she replied with a curtsey, and Judy opened the outer door, face and mien like an Egyptian statue of the twelfth dynasty. Anne Dillon watched him go with a sigh of deep contentment. How often she had dreamed of men as distinguished leaving her presence and her house in this fashion; and the dream had come true.
You need not wait any longer, Thady;" so I just picked up the pen and ink that had tumbled on the floor, and heard my master finish with saying, "You behaved very genteel to me, my dear, when you threw all the little you had in your own power along with yourself into my hands; and as I don't deny but what you may have had some things to complain of," to be sure he was thinking then of Judy, or of the whiskey punch, one or t'other, or both, "and as I don't deny but you may have had something to complain of, my dear, it is but fair you should have something in the form of compensation to look forward to agreeably in future; besides, it's an act of justice to myself, that none of your friends, my dear, may ever have it to say against me, I married for money, and not for love."
