Never again, though they hung mournfully round the deserted school for three months, could Lotta or Justus coax back even the most promising of their flock. No! The end of conversion was the fire of the Bad Place fire that ran through the limbs and gnawed into the bones. Who dare a second time tempt the anger of Dungara? Let the little man and his wife go elsewhere.
"I didn't know you Westerners ever indulged in such things. 'Presented to San Francisco by Lotta, 1875," he read. "Little Lotta Crabtree," I explained, "the sweet singer who bewitched the city at a time when gold was still more plentiful than flowers, and her song was greeted by a shower of the glittering metal flung to her feet by enthusiastic miners. But read the second tablet," I suggested.
Souchey listened to the whisper till his face grew longer and longer. "'Tis for her soul," said Lotta "for her poor soul's sake. When you can save her by raising your hand, would you let her be damned for ever?" But she could exact no promise from Souchey except that he would keep faith with her, and that he would consider deeply the proposal made to him.
In reply to my astonished enquiries, Lotta informed me that Ricardo attributed this work to the original Caribs, and very probably he was right.
"It was placed there with the permission of Lotta." "Tetrazzini!" his voice rang with surprise. "Can you picture this place surging with people as it was on Christmas night five years ago, when Tetrazzini sang to San Francisco?" I asked.
But I don't believe a real father ever was more thoughtful or more careful about a real daughter than Philip has been about Lotta. And what a poor return it would be if I were to oppose him now, when he says that the removal will be for Charlotte's good, and that she will be near clever doctors if she should require clever doctors! You don't know how experienced he is, and how thoughtful.
"What do they say?" "Well, I hate to stir up trouble, but since you began it, I may as well own up they think you're just about as lowbrow as they come. And I s'pose you are." "Oh, well. And what about the girls? Are they jealous of me?" "Sort of. Lotta says if you cut her out with Trymie Icanspoon, she'll elope with me." "And will she?" "Not if I reach the ticket office first.
It will be dull work going through the stupid abridgments of history and geography, and the scrappy bits of botany and conchology, with those incorrigible little ones; but of course I am very grateful to my cousin for giving me a home under any conditions, after papa's dishonourable conduct. If it were not for her, Lotta, I should have no home.
"What a thing it is to be a great lady," said the maid, who may probably have reflected that the Duke of Omnium did not come here so often for nothing. "What do you mean by that, Lotta?" "The women I know, madame, talk so much of their countesses, and ladyships, and duchesses. I would never rest till I had a title in this country, if I were a lady, and rich and beautiful."
"It looks so easy," she said. "It was paining her exceedingly, but she is all right now." "Then I may mount?" I bowed. "Without hurting Lotta?" she asked. I turned the mare about and dropped my hand into position. For a moment she hesitated.
