Milray never knew when he was tired, and she had better go by the clock in her reading, and not trust to any sign from him. Clementina promised, and when the public had followed Mrs.
Milray found herself alone with Clementina. The child seemed anxious about something, and Mrs. Milray, who wanted to go and lie down, too, asked a little impatiently, "What is it, Clementina?" "Oh, nothing. Only I was afraid maybe you didn't like my waving to the children, when you saw how queea they looked." Clementina's lips quivered. "Did any of the rest say anything?"
He owned that he doubted the authority of either to give him these hopes, but he said he could not abandon them without a last effort to see her, and learn from her whether they were true or false. If she recognized the design of a magnificent reparation in what Mrs. Milray had done, she did not give it much thought.
"Then that's all settled," she shouted over her shoulder to Clementina. "No, no, Mrs. Milray!" Clementina called after her. "The ship tilts so " "Nonsense! It's the smoothest run she ever made in December. And I'll engage to have the sea as steady as a rock for you. Remember, now, you've promised." Mrs. Milray whirled her Englishman away, and left Clementina sitting beside her husband.
The letter ended here in the local addresses which the writer gave. Miss Milray handed the leaves back to Clementina, who put them into her pocket, and apparently waited for her questions. "And have you written?" "No," said the girl, slowly and thoughtfully, "I haven't. I wanted to, at fust; and then, I thought that if he truly meant what he said he would be willing to wait."
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."
I live out on one of the hills over there, that you see from your windows" she nodded toward them "in a beautiful villa, too cold for winter, and too hot for summer, but I think Miss Claxon can endure its discomfort for a day, if you can spare her, and she will consent to leave you to the tender mercies of your maid, and " Miss Milray paused at the kind of unresponsive blank to which she found herself talking, and put up her lorgnette, to glance from Mrs.
Lander, and she made Clementina confess that she was a little trying sometimes. But she insisted that she was always good, and in remorse she went away as soon as Miss Milray rose from table. She found Mrs. Lander very much better, and willing to have had her stay the whole afternoon with Miss Milray.
She began to talk them into Clementina, and to contrast them with the wicked principles and actions of Miss Milray. The girl had forgiven Mrs. Milray, but she could not go back to any trust in her; and she could only passively assent to her praise. When Mrs. Lander pressed her for anything more explicit she said what she thought, and then Mrs. Lander accused her of hating Mrs.
Charity may begin at home, but duty certainly begins abroad." He went on, as if it were a branch of the same inquiry, "Did you ever meet my sisters? They came to the hotel in New York to see Mrs. Milray." "Yes, I was in the room once when they came in." "Did you like them?" "Yes I sca'cely spoke to them I only stayed a moment." "Would you like to see any more of the family?" "Why, of cou'se!"
