But the Hudson awed her, the very Carrara magnitude of the walls, the remote gold-leaf ceilings, light-studded, the talcy odor de luxe. She wanted to back out of that lobby of groups of well-dressed loungers; to turn; to run. Instead, she wrote her name on the register, marveling at her steady chirography: Luella Parlow, Dallas
Luella Bailey must be elected, and these people be taught that foreign ideas may flourish in New York, but cannot obtain root in Benham." Mrs. Earle wiped her eyes, which were running over as the result of this combination of confidence and eloquence. "If you don't mind my saying so, Selma, I never saw anyone so much improved as you.
It was funny how she came to get it, for folks said she hadn't any education, and that one of the big girls, Lottie Henderson, used to do all the teachin' for her, while she sat back and did embroidery work on a cambric pocket-handkerchief. Lottie Henderson was a real smart girl, a splendid scholar, and she just set her eyes by Luella, as all the girls did.
"I cal'lated she'd gone to Whartons'," said Luella, pinching her under lip thoughtfully as she looked down the road. "Maybe she did go and they've fetched her over in their launch." Luella "cal'lated" that was just the way of it, and gave herself no further uneasiness, so Mary escaped by plunging down the bank and skirting the shore till she reached the spot where the boat lay.
"Oh!" she cried, "are you hurt?" "No," I said lightly, "but I don't think this gentleman is feeling very well. He's likely to have a sore head for a day or two." "Come back here," said Luella in a peremptory tone. "Those men may come again and shoot you." "I don't think so," said I. "The door is coming down. But, anyhow, I can't leave our friend here. Lie still!"
Selma, on her side, took up the organization of the Free Hospital provided by Mr. Parsons. Her husband left the decision of all but legal and financial questions to her and Miss Luella Bailey, who, at Selma's request, was made the third member of the board of trustees.
I looked searchingly in the direction he took, but could see no sign of the snake-eyed enemy. The presence of Terrill gave me some tremors of anxiety, for I knew that his unscrupulous ferocity would stop at nothing. I feared for the moment that some violence might threaten the party, and that perhaps Luella was in danger.
I was almost givin' up my notion and tellin' Luella that would be about enough, when I noticed a long yellow document envelope stowed away by itself in a corner. "There's a fat one," says I. She hands it out mechanical, as she'd done the rest. "Hello!" says I, glancin' at the corner. "Gordon & Co., Broad Street, New York! Why, say, that's the Pyramid Gordon I was askin' about." "Is it?" says she.
Then I heard him call loudly for Dabney, and when Sallie descended with my bundle, that contained a complete telegraphic outfit for Luella May which showed a decided leaning to tennis style, she met Dabney on the front threshold with a rough parcel from which I saw a shirt sleeve and a blue serge trouser leg protrude. "Thank you, Nickols.
"I like it better anyhow," said Molly truthfully. "I'd like nothing better than to spend the day there, you dearest auntie." "Then there we will go. Luella wants the day off, anyhow. She says she must go to town to have a tooth out, for 'the tooth aches something awful. That is the third since we came. If she keeps on at this rate, she will not have a tooth left in her head by fall.
