And at this moment she was plunged in such despair, that her sister's sudden appearance on the scene did not even astonish her: "Ah! it's you," she gasped. "Ah! if you only knew what a blow's fallen on me in the middle of all our worries!" Madame Theodore at once thought of the children, Lucienne and Marcelle. "Are your daughters ill?" she asked.
You know, Kit, our Peg is president of the Portia Dramatic Club, and the mantle doth not rest lightly on her young shoulders." But Kit could not be diverted, and the color rose somewhat belligerently in Amy's cheeks, too; "I don't see," she said, "why you feel that you have to take Marcelle Beaubien's part. If you knew all about her the way we girls do, you'd let her alone."
He'll never do anything to get his head cut off; and it's quite certain that nobody will think of leaving an income to Marcelle and Lucienne.... Well, good by, my dear, you must be brave, one must always hope that things will turn out for the best." When she had gone off, Pierre and Thomas inquired if M. Grandidier had heard of Toussaint's misfortune and agreed to do anything for him.
Talk about life buoys for drowning men and rich uncles from California in plays who ever heard of anyone wanting a nice husband and getting him in such a way!" Marcelle's eyes were positively glistening. And these two now were not mistress and maid, but a pair of highly strung women, and young ones at that. "You have lost your wits in this night's excitement, Marcelle," said Hermione.
"Nothing on earth would induce me to go away now but I do hope and pray you will be happy even though you only met your husband little more than an hour ago! . . . And I believe in my heart, Lady Hermione, that you will soon see how fortunate you were in escaping that mincing little Frenchman " "Marcelle, the poor man is dead." "Then it is the best turn he has done you, miladi.
"Why, you were in that one to-day," replied Charity in surprise. "It's our dormitory, don't you know?" "Oh, thank you so much," Kit said, with suspicious alacrity, as she guided Marcelle down the corridor, and Charity glanced back at them both, speculatively, wondering just what special business could take two new day girls into the most exclusive dormitory at Hope.
Why not go out of my life now this instant? . . . Marcelle and I can find refuge somewhere. The hour is early. . . . Why should you take all the risk?" He was ready for some such appeal on her part. "I was taught in school if I did a thing at all to do it thoroughly," he said, "and my experience of life has given the adage a halo. It would be worse than useless to desert you now, Lady Hermione.
"No, Marcelle, do not go," said Hermione, hiding her fear under an assumption of icy indifference, and checking the maid's movement in response to the lawyer's hint. "Marcelle Leroux is fully in my confidence," she explained, "and you can say nothing which she may not listen to." "I am obliged to your ladyship, but I had to mention her presence," said Schmidt.
"You ain't forgot how vain I was that first day when I peeked in all the mirrors at the hotel. But now I can pass one without lookin' in, if I ain't got a new dress on." "Speaking of dresses, Miss Doane, put on that dark gray velvet that Marcelle made you and the hat with the mauve. Oh, I wish it were cold, so you could wear your new furs. But well they'll see them all after a while.
She turned in surprise at the touch of Kit's hand on her shoulder. "I thought we could walk down towards the bluff together, because we go the same way," said the latter. "How do you like it here?" "I like it," responded Marcelle, slowly, with a certain dignified shyness that was characteristic of her. "My mother has told me all about it. She liked the library when she was here.
