All the other girls had gone home before her, and on the sidewalk Miss Meason, of the glove counter, stood talking about the spring sales to Mr. Brandywine. As Gabriella passed them, in her white shirtwaist and dark belted skirt, they looked thoughtfully after her until her sailor hat, with the scarlet band, crossed Broad Street and disappeared on the opposite side.
But waving aside her sister's gentle interposition, she said: "You mustn't think of yourself only, father. I admit I told the cook to put back the dinner a few minutes. What then?" "You did it that you might finish your conversation with young Meason," said Mr.
Maggie has been saying all kinds of things against me, and I am afraid that the Southdown Road people have been writing him anonymous letters again. Some one I don't know who it is I wish I did has been telling him the most shocking things about Jimmy Meason and me; things in which I assure you there is not a word of truth.
"Don't go, pray." "I think I must." "I am surprised, Frank," said Mr. Brookes, when Meason was gone, "that you should seek your friends among the enemies of my family." "We will not discuss that question now. I never heard of such conduct you force your way into my studio, and apparently for no purpose but to insult my guest. You see your daughters are not here."
Pride and sweirnesse would have meikle upholding. Patience perforce. Poor men are fain of little thing. Possession is worth an ill chartour. Play with your peers. Pride will have a fall. Provision in season makes a rich meason. Peter in, and Paul out. Put that in the next few. Put your hand into the creel, and you will get either an adder, or an Eele.
"Oh, well, I'd call her pretty in her way," answered Miss Meason. "Her eyes are lovely, and she has a singularly bright expression. I always say that a bright expression makes up for anything." "Her mother was a beauty in her day," said Mr. Brandywine reminiscently; "she was the snow and roses sort, and her eldest daughter took after her, though she is a wreck now, poor lady."
"So he did, but I don't see what there was particularly to upset him this time. Meason is away at sea, and you have promised not to see him any more." "Oh, I wasn't thinking about the Measons but haven't you heard? I only heard it through a friend, but I know for a fact that Willy has lost nearly all his money on the Stock Exchange." "You don't say so; I am so sorry."
Meason?" "Mr. Meason knows very well that I do not wish to know him." "If you only come here to insult my guest, the sooner you go out the better. Had I known that you intended to behave in this fashion I should have left you standing outside till morning. I'll not have " "Never mind, Escott; I'm off. Mr. Brookes and I are no longer on speaking terms, that's all! I'll see you later on."
Here she was 'Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary, there's Meason, there's Meason, Aunt Mary, Meason, Meason, Aunt Mary. It is not right, it can't be right; and to my thinking Maggie is just as bad a little more sly perhaps." "No, not dear Maggie." "I say it is not right; girls in good health could not go on like that.
She swallowed hard, choked in a crumb, hastily sipped the excellent champagne Lady Meason gave at her second-best parties, and recovering herself said that "well, really, what she knew was almost too shocking to tell." There was a Frenchman, good-looking, evidently a sort of gentleman, in the train with Miss Grant when she was travelling from England.
