"Who fo', Nella-Rose, who fo'?"
Irons was talking to Mrs. Sampson about, the night we dined there to meet Miss Merrivale." Rangely glanced up in vexation, to see if Miss Mott were listening, and caught a gleam of mischievous intelligence from her eyes. "I don't remember it," he answered ambiguously. "But how do you know," persisted Edith, "that the information came from Miss Blake?" "Because Mr.
The others smiled, except Mrs. Ranger. "Poor Kate!" she said; "all you girls seem to dislike her somehow. Mrs. West was a somebody from Washington," she added, reflectively, as if she unconsciously sought in the girl's pedigree some explanation of her unpopularity. "Is it so dreadful to come from Washington?" asked Miss Merrivale; and then wondered if she ought to have said it.
"He isn't a cat, so 'tisn't the same," Patricia said with a pout. "We must find an owner for him, Marcus," Mrs. Marvin said. "I won't let him go!" screamed Patricia. "You cannot keep him here." "Then I'll go back to my aunt's house at Merrivale, and take him with me," said Patricia. "Do as you like about that," Mrs. Marvin said quietly, "but you must choose."
