Phoebe felt herself penetrated with gratitude for all this, and she resolved that, if anything she could do could benefit the Mays, the effort on her part should not be wanting. "Paid by Tozer." What had been paid by Tozer? What had her grandfather to do with it. Could it be he who had lent money to Mr. May? Then Phoebe resolved, with a glow on her face, he should forgive his debtors.
'Now, I should have thought a lady would have some regard to her own drawing-room, and object to slovenliness elbows on table, feet everywhere! 'Nothing is in worse taste than constraint, said Ave from the corners of her mouth 'at least for those that can trust their manners without it. 'I tell you, Ave, you are spoiling the boy. He is more conceited than ever since the Mays noticed him.
You can say your aunt does not care to have you make visits while you are occupied with your studies." "But she knows I have been to see the Mays." "Well, really, Charlotte, I cannot argue the question further. I simply expect to be obeyed in the matter." With this final utterance Mrs. Millard swept past her. Charlotte had come in from her walk in good spirits.
"Oh, Anna, Anna, what a cautious little thing you are with your 'mays' and your 'mights; but you are right, you are right, and I'll go to Marian this noon, and say just what you've told me to say, and not a word more."

It was a very quiet road, and she was not disturbed by any unreasonable alarms. It was still early when she got home, earlier than usual, and her intention was not to stay there at all, but to go back again and offer her assistance to Ursula, for whom she had left a message to this effect. Phoebe was full of genuine regard and friendliness towards the Mays.
The interest shown by the two girls in the stranger whom they had noted with so much attention was not destined to meet with any immediate reward. Neither he, nor "the young lady in black," whom he hurried across the street to meet, could be heard of, or was seen for full two days afterwards, to the great disappointment of the young Mays.
That would be straightforward and simple; but she has too good taste for that so she does worse she tells a little, and makes that go a long way, as if she were keeping back a great deal! You don't know how furious it makes me!" "Ethel!" "So," said Ethel, disregarding, "she stirs up all Stoneborough to hear what the Miss Mays are doing at Cocksmoor.
