"But it was a close shave!" "Indeed it was. And you saved my Millie's life! How can I thank you!" "I didn't do so much. I guess she's scared a good bit." "She hardly realized the danger, dear child. Did you, Millie, my pet?" "The bad cow wanted to eat up my dollies!" exclaimed the little miss, with a grave shake of the head. "But oo helped me," she added, to me. "I'm glad I was here," I returned.
"Oh, I'm sure they'll not trouble you," said she in a sweet, sure tone as the pains shot through her feet and her head. "You'll hardly notice my little mite in your property." She pretended to reflect. "Let me see there's seven thousand left, but of course half of that is Millie's." "It must be very well invested," said he. "Those seven thousand shares must be of the very best."
Then he pulled it tight and started to run, as he had seen the cow ponies galloping to pull down a horse or steer that needed to be branded or marked with the sign of the Ring Rosy Ranch. The rooster was very tame, often eating out of Aunt Millie's hand, so he was not afraid to let Trouble come up quite close to him.
"Why, it explained the whole thing." "Then," I said, "I wish you would let me read it. A note like that ought to be worth reading." "It was telling you to sit tight and not worry about us going away " "That's good about worrying. You're a thoughtful chap, Ukridge." " because we should be back immediately." "And what sent you up to town?" "Why, we went to touch Millie's Aunt Elizabeth." "Oh!"
"What's the matter, Millie?" cried Sir Chichester, starting up in alarm. He hurried round the table. Some stab of physical pain had caused Millie's cry he shared that conviction with every one else in the room. But Millie lifted her head quickly. "Oh, it's intolerable!" she exclaimed. "Chichester, look at this!" She thrust the paper feverishly into his hands.
Auchinloss won't conduct 'Faust' without our Millie's Marguerite. How she used to practice it, miss, righd on that piano you seen in the front room. It's worth all the sacrifices we made for such a success like hers. I doan' know who you study with, but if you come to us here, I wand once you should let her old teacher, Ballman, hear you. He's the man that can find your voice if you got it."
They say he heard Paula Anchutz singing her baby to sleep one night as he happened to pass her cottage, and he rang her door bell." "Auchinloss discovered Paula Anchutz!" "He decided her greatness after a few bars. Some day I'll read you Millie's letter home about her audition in Vienna.
Millie's thick and plaintive with her hay-fever and Bertha's thin and cold and level and reassuring.... Bertha's voice was like the morning, clean and cool.... Then she got up and shut the door. The sky was a vivid grey against its dark background the tops of heavy masses of cloud were standing up just above the roof-line of the houses beyond the neighbouring gardens.
So she hid everything from him, arranging all details with Mrs. Twist who promised to "see her through it." There was no nurse within a hundred miles; there was a dreadful old woman who had brought several bottles of squareface with her when she attended Mrs. Twist at Millie's birth. They decided to dispense with her services. Marcella sent money to Mrs. King to buy things for her in Sydney.
"I I don't want to tell the rest. I haven't even told Tim. But we can win out. I'm sure we can if you'll stake us. Won't you, please, Professor MCCabe?" And I expect it was all due to that sneer of Elisha P. Bayne's. For while this was about as batty a business proposition as I ever had put up to me, this scheme of Millie's for hockin' her hubby, I'd got more or less int'rested in her yarn.
