There's no end to the mischief; but it works first and worst with exactly girls of your class our class, Marion. Girls that are all upset out of their natural places, and not really fit for the new things they undertake to do. As I said, how long will it last? How long will the Mr. Hamilton Leverings put you forward and find chances for you? Just as long as you are young and pretty and new.
The Leverings brought a friend to call this afternoon, who has just arrived in Lone-Rock to spend the rest of vacation with them; a grumpy, middle-aged, absent-minded, old professor from the East, who seemed rather bored with us at first. But when he was taken out to the side-show in the 'Zoo, he waked up in a hurry.
It was a "platform dress," she told him, laughing; she was going with the Leverings on a reading and musical tour; they had got a little company together, and would give entertainments in the large country towns; perhaps go to some of the fashionable springs, or up among the mountain places; folks liked their amusements to come after them, from the cities; they were sure of audiences where people had nothing to do.
The Leverings, you remember Virginia Levering, who gave a reading here last winter; her father was with her, Hamilton Levering, the elocutionist? Well, I know them very well; I've got acquainted with them since; they say they'll help me, and put me forward. Mr. Levering will give me lessons and get me some evenings. He thinks I would do well.
Lester sat down in great comfort amid the splendors of the great Louis Quinze dining-room. He liked this homey home atmosphere his mother and father and his sisters the old family friends. So he smiled and was exceedingly genial. Louise announced that the Leverings were going to give a dance on Tuesday, and inquired whether he intended to go. "You know I don't dance," he returned dryly.
'Perhaps she doesn't know what else to do with all that money, said the lady of the pearls. 'She hasn't got a penny piece. 'Oh, is it all his? I thought the Leverings were rather well off. 'Yes, but the money came through the second wife, Vida's mother. Oh, I hate that Fox-Moore woman! Mrs. Freddy laughed ruefully. 'And I'm sure her husband is a great deal too good for her.
