Milray made the landlord tell her all about coaching parades, and the champions of former years on the East Side and the West Side, and then she said that the Middlemount House must take the prize from them all this year, or she should never come near his house again. He answered, with a dignity and spirit he rarely showed with Mrs. Milray's class of custom, "I'm goin' to drive our hossis myself."
Clementina did it not only with tender dignity, but when she was fairly launched in it, with a passion to which her sense of Mrs. Milray's strange unkindness lent defiance.
Neither of them cared for Mrs. Milray, and they did not pretend to be concerned about her, but Clementina said, vaguely, as if in recognition of Mrs. Milray's latest experiment, "Do you believe in second marriages?" Miss Milray laughed, "Well, not that kind exactly." "No," Clementina assented, and she colored a little.
If they renounced their love now for the sake of what seemed higher than their love, they might suffer, but they could not choose but do as they were doing. Clementina was trying to make what she could of this when Miss Milray's name came up, and Miss Milray followed it. "I wanted to ask after Mrs. Lander, and I want you to tell her I did. Will you? Dr.
She should meet some pleasant people; she always did, at Miss Milray's. Then the light died out of her gay eyes, and she set her lips. "No, I told her I shouldn't go." "I didn't hear you," said Dr. Welwright. "A doctor has no eyes and ears except for the symptoms of his patients." "Oh, I know," said Clementina. She had liked Dr.
Lander wished most to know how that lord had got down to Florence; and Clementina said he was coming to see her. "Well, I hope to goodness he won't come to-day, I a'n't fit to see anybody." "Oh, I guess he won't come till to-morrow," said Clementina; she repeated some of the compliments she had got, and she told of all Miss Milray's kindness to her, but Mrs.
"Why, Clementina!" she screamed, and caught her and the child both in her arms. She began to weep, but Clementina smiled instead of weeping, as she always used to do. She returned Miss Milray's affectionate greeting with a tenderness as great as her own, but with a sort of authority, such as sometimes comes to those who have suffered.
"I thought you were going to stay a month!" she protested. "That will be a month; and more, too." "So it will," she owned. "I'm glad it doesn't seem any longer-say a year Miss Clementina!" "Oh, not at all," she returned. "Miss Milray's brother and his wife are coming with her. They've been in Egypt." "I never saw them," said Hinkle.
"What did she say?" he asked Clementina, slanting the down-pulled brim of his soft hat purblindly toward her. She said she had not understood, and then Milray asked, "What sort of person is that Boston youth of Mrs. Milray's? Is he a donkey or a lamb?" Clementina said ingenuously, "Oh, she's walking with that English gentleman now that lo'd." "Ah, yes," said Milray.
Milray's room and her own, and he called to her: "Boss, what's this I hear about a pair o' glass slippas droppin' out the sky int' youa lap?" Clementina was so happy that she thought she might trust him for once, and she said, "Oh, yes, Mr. Mahtin! Who do you suppose sent them?" she entreated him so sweetly that it would have softened any heart but the heart of a tease.
