"You are so pretty, my dear; almost too young and pretty for dear Soames, aren't you? But he's very attentive and careful such a good hush...." Aunt Juley checked herself, and placed her lips just under each of Annette's eyes she afterwards described them to Francie, who dropped in, as: "Cornflower-blue, so pretty, I quite wanted to kiss them. I must say dear Soames is a perfect connoisseur.
All laughed George was licensed; but all felt that the family was being 'rotted'; and this seemed to them unnatural, now that it was going to give five of its members to the service of the Queen. George might go too far; and there was relief when he got up, offered his arm to Aunt Juley, marched up to Timothy, saluted him, kissed his aunt with mock passion, said, "Oh! what a treat, dear papa!
And they're such fun." Aunt Hester sat down. Really, Juley had done it now! "She wasn't much of a skeleton as I remember her," murmured Euphemia, "extremely well-covered." "My dear!" said Aunt Juley, "what a peculiar way of putting it not very nice." "No, but what was she like?" persisted Imogen. "I'll tell you, my child," said Francie; "a kind of modern Venus, very well-dressed."
See the difference between me and Juley! It was a sad sign if Rose was growing a bit of a hypocrite, but this instance of Juliana's different manner of showing her feelings toward Evan would have quieted suspicion in shrewder men, for Juliana watched Evan's shadow, and it was thought by two or three at Beckley Court, that Evan would be conferring a benefit on all by carrying off the romantically-inclined but little presentable young lady.
And suddenly Soames became conscious of feeling weak, and hot, and shaky. Sheer nerves at the meeting before him! As Aunt Juley might have said quoting "Superior Dosset" his nerves were "in a proper fautigue." He could see the house now among its trees, the house he had watched being built, intending it for himself and this woman, who, by such strange fate, had lived in it with another after all!
Aunt Juley rose to the full height of her tall figure. "He never talks about what doesn't concern him," she said. June was instantly compunctious; she ran to her aunt and kissed her. "I'm very sorry, auntie; but I wish they'd let Irene alone."
Margaret thought so, and feared that good Aunt Juley and Frieda were typical specimens of it. They might, by continual chatter, lead Helen into a repetition of the desires of June. Into a repetition they could not do more; they could not lead her into lasting love.
Taking from the recesses of their pure white band-box those flat, grey curls, the insignia of personal dignity, she placed them securely in her mistress's hands, and turned her back. And every day Aunts Juley and Hester were required to come and report on Timothy; what news there was of Nicholas; whether dear June had succeeded in getting Jolyon to shorten the engagement, now that Mr.
"Oh?" murmured Aunt Hester, "ask Juley!" Long before they reached Robin Hill, however, the unaccustomed airing had made him terribly sleepy; he drove with his eyes closed, a life-time of deportment alone keeping his tall and bulky form from falling askew.
I thought I minded nothing, but really I I should be bored if you fell in love with the same man twice and" she cleared her throat "you did go red, you know, when Aunt Juley attacked you this morning. I shouldn't have referred to it otherwise."
