"Dear Mrs. Perry," she said, "I am SO sorry for you! To have Babette's illness, and then to have the burden of four guests at the same time! But, truly, we'll make just as little trouble as we can, and I hope you'll let us help in any way possible." "Oh, Patty," Lora Perry said, in a choked voice, "I feel dreadful about making you stay here in these circumstances!
I don't believe there was a more wretched being on the face of the earth than he! I was very angry with him at first, but when I saw how utterly crushed and heartbroken he was, I couldn't say one word." Adelaide was crying now in good earnest, as well as Lora.
A young man about twenty-eight years of age advanced to meet them with a smiling face, for he saw Leon de Lora first.
He had shown himself to be so brave that no one dared oppose him, and after staying a month at the castle, he rode away, carrying the lovely Princess Lora as his bride, and they lived happy ever after." "There!" cried Polly, "I've told that almost word for word."
"Put her down!" she insisted, in her deepest gutturals. "Put her down, you brute, or I'll hurt you." Lora jumped to the floor as Nielje struck with her broomstick at Aŕpad's retreating back. To the surprise of the women he gave a shriek of agony and ran to the door, Nielje following close behind.
How much do you want?" "Well, five or six thousand francs." "I have but three thousand at the most," said Lisbeth. "And what is Wenceslas doing now?" "He has had an offer to work in partnership with Stidmann at a table service for the Duc d'Herouville for six thousand francs. Then Monsieur Chanor will advance four thousand to repay Monsieur de Lora and Bridau a debt of honor."
He is fond of mischief, I know, but he is only a child, and you must not be too hard upon him." "Very well, madam," replied the governess stiffly, "you have of course the best right to control your own children." Mrs. Dinsmore turned to leave the room. "Mamma," asked Lora, "is not Elsie to be allowed to go too?" "Elsie is not my child, and I have nothing to say about it.
This man who had no beard was the same man as the man who had a beard, and this behaviour was a personal eccentricity of his. The thought crossed his mind that Aunty Lora would not approve of this. And then, surprisingly, there came the thought that he did not care whether Aunty Lora approved or not. He liked it, and that was enough for him.
"Tell her to stop it," said Marie; "I rather think that we can bear our part of it, considering what Cousin Lora has to suffer. Can Cousin Dick come home?" "I hadn't thought of that!" exclaimed Cameron. "Why, no; that is, if he can't go back to his office again. We'll have to telephone him to stay in New York until the siege is raised.
On a tapestry-covered dormeuse, by the open window, and carefully protected with gauze curtains from the glare of the coming noon, reclined a handsome woman of middle age, so like, and yet so strangely unlike 'Lora Delcor, that my dusky blooms quivered and fretted with emotion, as the contadina closed the door behind us.
