I can scarcely wait until I have him." Miss Merriweather went into the house in utter exhaustion, nor did she pause to take off her hat before telling Theodore's mother the little she could to encourage her. If Molly was suffering over the crime which had sent the man she loved to the hospital, Jinnie was going through thrice that agony for the same man.
But we're all going to help her to get started," promised Bet. "What is Shirley's good luck is ours. We're all Merriweather Girls," said Kit quietly. Shirley was in a happy daze and hardly heard her mother's plans. "You can bring down that large blue rug in your room, Shirley, and I'll put something else in there." "That's just the thing, it has lots of orange in it," exclaimed Bet.
Shirley put her arm around the frightened girl. "You're having a grand time here, and the fun is just beginning. You're not going to quit over the first unpleasant thing that happens to you. That's not playing the game. What would Lady Betty Merriweather do?" Joy laughed in spite of herself. "We always used to ask that question when we were in Lynnwood. Lady Betty meant a lot to us, didn't she?
The last duel was fought by the old fountain out there one of the Merriweathers met one of the Paines. Merriweather was killed, and the girl died of a broken heart." "Then it was Merriweather that she loved?" "Yes. And young Paine went abroad, and joined the British army and was killed in India. So nobody was happy, and all because there was, probably, a flowing bowl at the harvest ball.
It was plain to him from the first that he was not the only man who favored her with admiring glances; and he soon discovered that young Merriweather and his friend Hackley had passed beyond the neutral ground of non- committal.
Theodore smiled as he entered, which instantly eased the fear in the cobbler's heart and he waited for the other man to speak. "Jinnie had a fall," explained Mr. King, "so I drove her home." He placed the girl in a chair. She was still holding the mangled cat in her arms. "Is she much hurt?" questioned Lafe anxiously. "No, Lafe, I'm not hurt a bit. Miss Merriweather took me for a little ride.
There was a wonderful degree of mirth and tenderness in her eyes as she watched him. They had floated by a little point; and as he raised his head he saw a form which he recognized as Mr. Merriweather rowing toward them. "There comes one of your shadows," he said mockingly. "Be careful how you exchange boats when he comes along-side. I will give you no help in such a case."
A night of debate and gloom among the politicians and other delegates, and on the opening ballot Merriweather sprung his trap. The first big doubtful state in the alphabetical list of states is Illinois. When the secretary of the convention called for Illinois' vote, it was cast solidly for Scarborough. There was straightway pandemonium. It was half an hour before any one could get a hearing.
I'm always here until after the school is locked at night." Miss Owens was taken into the secret between Mr. Sills and Bet, but no one else was told about it. "I can't even tell you Merriweather Girls," confided Bet. "But I'm sure I'll be able to tell the whole story before long, and you'll all be glad."
Merriweather always took the gloomy view of everything, because he thus discounted his failures in advance and doubled the effect of his successes. "I'll see I'll see," said Dumont, impatiently. And he thought he was beginning to "see" when Gladys expanded to him upon the subject of Scarborough his good looks, his wit, his "distinction."
