Codman, all in their best "Sunday-go-to-meetings," with their little daughter Polly, named after the mother, pretty as a picture and a great friend of Masie most distinguished people were the Codmans, he looking like an alderman and his wife the personification of good humor, her rosy cheeks matching the tint of her husband's necktie.
And so, just as soon as I learn what is to happen to her, I shall settle my account with the man who has caused her ruin, and return to England and I can go the easier, and pick up my old life again the better, if I can be assured that you will look after little Masie, and see that no harm comes to her." Kitty raised her hands from her lap and folded them across her bosom.
"Masie," said Carter, earnestly, "you surely know that I love you. I ask you sincerely to marry me. You know me well enough by this time to have no doubts of me. I want you, and I must have you. I care nothing for the difference in our stations." "What is the difference?" asked Masie, curiously. "Well, there isn't any," said Carter, quickly, "except in the minds of foolish people.
Masie loved it because when Felix had so many customers that he could neither talk nor play with her, it served her as a temporary refuge as would a shelter until the rain was over and Felix delighted in it because it kept Kling out of the way, the good-natured Dutchman having often spoiled a sale by what Felix called "inopportune remarks at opportune moments."
"Of course, I'll take the costumes, and many thanks for your wish to make the child happy," he answered at last. "I am rather foolish about Masie myself; and may I tell you, Mr. Dogger, that you are a very fine old gentleman, and that I am delighted to have made your acquaintance, and that, if you will permit me I shall certainly come again?"
And that was how the bare corner was filled with three great palms the biggest he had in his shop and the grand salon of the Grande Duchesse Masie Beeswings de Kling at last made ready for her guests.
He had already noticed, with some discomfiture, the absence of a number of male guests, half of them having left the room without presenting themselves before Masie to bid her good night, and was about to ask Kitty for an explanation, when a series of thumping sounds reached his ear; something heavy was being rolled along the floor beneath his feet.
"You are to stand alongside of Masie when she comes in; the child has no mother, and you must look after her." "No mother! Mr. O'Day! God rest your soul, she won't need to do without one long, she's that lovely. There'll be plenty will want to mother, and brother her, too, for that matter. My goodness, what a place ye made of it! Look at them lamps, all fireworks up there, and that big chair!
Perhaps nature, foreseeing that she would lack wise counsellors, had mingled the saving ingredient of shrewdness along with her beauty, as she has endowed the silver fox of the priceless fur above the other animals with cunning. For Masie was beautiful. She was a deep-tinted blonde, with the calm poise of a lady who cooks butter cakes in a window.
In one of those far-away cities there are grand and lovely palaces and towers full of beautiful pictures and statues. The streets of the city are water, and one travels about in " "I know," said Masie, sitting up suddenly. "Gondolas." "Yes," smiled Carter. "I thought so," said Masie. "And then," continued Carter, "we will travel on and see whatever we wish in the world.
