"Geraniums in the big bed in front, with a border of some kind, then I will have vines all over the porch, and a lily in the little urn, and a heart-shaped bed of pansies under that shady side-window. None of those do for a name, though." Kittie confessed that they did not, but said in a moment: "We'll go up and ask Ernestine, if she can't think of something no one else can."
"No; he only says how she is, and how she wishes for me every day, and wants me to write a letter, all to herself," answered Kittie, too busy running her eyes over the few lines, with the signature "Yours, most sincerely, "PAUL MURRAY." in bold, handsome hand, to notice the different expressions in the eyes that were watching her pleased, smiling face.
He said it just that way. When he took Josephine out in his automobile he'd say, "Let's take the kid, too," and they would, and it did not take Kittie long to understand how things were between George Morgan for that was indeed his name and her sister. Little do grown-up people realize how intelligent are the minds of the young, and how keen and penetrating their youthful gaze!
To-day, while we were riding, I dropped some flowers out of my hair, and he picked them up, and asked if he might keep them, and and that's all," finished Kittie, quite shamefacedly. "How romantic!" sighed Kat. "He'll say something pretty soon, and I'm very glad. It would be dreadful for one of us to go, and not the other. But it all seems odd, doesn't it, dear?"
It was rather too much for the impetuous youth to bear, and when he spoke again it was with a tinge of bitterness. "I thought mother sent for you here to amuse me, Kittie, and not to waste all your pity upon a poor beggar whom you happened to meet in the street. I'm sure I might as well be without you, as to have you as dull and silent as you have been since you saw that miserable boy.
"Then I'm going to tell father. I don't believe that bear trap is on the Ford land. They are trying to claim everything. I'm just going to tell father, or Hank Smither. He'll make 'em let Jake and Sam alone." "Oh, I guess Jake and Sam can look after themselves," said Kittie, calmly. "Only I don't like to see a clash. It makes me nervous. I don't believe it will amount to so very much, though."
You don't think you are going to fall in love, or be sick, or go away, or anything; do you?" "Nonsense," said Kittie, but gave an expressive hug that was soothing and satisfactory, and set Kat's heart at rest.
It's well ye're lookin', Mrs. McDermott; and Nora, gyurl, sure ye're charmin' the night. Kittie, darlin', how do ye do? Do ye remember Captain Franklin, all of ye? Pipe up, ye naygurs that's right. Now, thin, all hands, choose yer partners fer the gr-rand march. Mrs. McDermott, darlin', we'll lead the march, sure, with Jerry's permission how'll he help himself, I wonder, if the lady says yis?
"If she does," interrupted Kat fiercely, "I'll tell every mortal man, woman and child, in turn, that she's a meddling old thing, if they don't know it already; and I'll tell them just the truth about this room, too." "It was horrible in me," sighed Kittie in great self-reproach. "And when you were so kind as to change, too.
So it is that Margaret persuades her mother to delay her journey a little while. Kittie's Sister Josephine Kittie James told me this story about her sister Josephine, and when she saw my eye light up the way the true artist's does when he hears a good plot, she said I might use it, if I liked, the next time I "practised literature."
