She always insists upon my keeping such early hours," was 'Lina's very filial and childlike reply, as she walked up to mamma, not to ask permission, but to whisper rather peremptorily, "Dr. Richards wishes me to walk with him, and as you are tired, you may as well go to bed!"
"And no Fragoso at the end of them!" said Lina's betrothed. "That was rather a nice flower you gathered in the forest of Iquitos!" "Just behold the flower the only one in the world," said Lina quizzingly; "and, mistress! just look at the splendid plants!" And Lina pointed to the nymphaeas with their colossal leaves, whose flowers bear buds as large as cocoanuts.
You give Mar's Hugh six hundred dollars for me, so't he can get Miss 'Lina's weddin' finery. I'll be good, I will. I'll learn do Lord's Prar, an' de Possums Creed, ebery word on't; will you, Miss Alice, say?" Alice tried to wrest her muslin dress from the child's grasp, asking what she meant.
A pang of tender sorrow ran through Lina's apparently lifeless frame, as a broken lily is disturbed by the wind, but she had no strength even for a sob; she heard his footsteps as he went out, but they sounded afar off, and, when all was still, she fell into total unconsciousness.
"Indeed I will, and Patience, if you'll let me, I'd like to be your friend." "I'm sometimes lonely. I need you, Lina," Patience said, gently. Lina never did anything by halves. She told her classmates how just at the time that Patience had been planning to give her own necklace to make up for Lina's loss, she had been harshly accused.
The lonesomeness was killing me, and now you have come upon me unawares, to turn that dull anguish into torture. How could you ask me to go home? it was cruel ah, me, how cruel!" "What can I do, how shall I act?" cried Ralph, appealing to Agnes Barker, who stood earnestly regarding the scene. "Leave her at present," said the girl, softly smoothing Lina's tresses with her hand.
"Oh, we'll get up Madame Tussaud for her at home, free gratis, for nothing at all!" cried Armine, whose hard work inspirited him to fun and frolic. So in the twilight hour two days later there was a grand exhibition of human waxworks, in which Babie explained tableaux represented by the two Johns, Armine, and Cecil, supposed to be adapted to Lina's capacity.
"What is it what does it mean?" inquired Ralph, reassured now that Lina was out of danger "did the stone wound him?" "The stone!" repeated Ben scornfully, "a round stone covered over with moss like a pin cushion! Why, if this ere rattlesnake could laugh as well as bite, he'd have a good haw-haw over Miss Lina's way of fighting snakes. It takes something to kill them, I tell you.
Womanlike, the sight of 'Lina's dresses awoke in Adah a thrill of delight, and she entered heartily into the matter without a single feeling of envy. "I's goin', too. Did you know that?" Lulu said to her as she sat bending over a cloud of lace and soft blue silk. "Do you want to go?" Adah asked, and Lulu replied: "Not much. Miss 'Lina will be so lofty. Jes' you listen and hear her call me oncet.
If only she could get to her room unnoticed by way of the little staircase: no one would recognize her in Lina's clothes, and once upstairs in her room she would lock the door and let nobody in and sleep sleep. Perhaps that would take some burden from her; perhaps when she then awoke everything would be different, everything better.
