"I think we'll give him the benefit of little Missy's preference," said Captain Armstrong, who had been watching Graeme with a little amused anxiety since her walk was ended. The colour that the exercise had given her was fast fading from her face, till her very lips grew white with the deadly sickness that was coming over her. "You had best go to the cabin a wee while.
"I couldn't do such a thing," she said to herself piteously. "They don't understand they can't understand but I couldn't give her Missy's room. I'm sorry for poor Camilla, and I wish I could help her. But I can't give her Missy's room, and I have no other." The little Falconer cottage, set back from the road in the green seclusion of an apple orchard and thick, leafy maples, was a very tiny one.
But, in sad contrast to the old days, now poor Budge watched the extra help from the village with a dour and suspicious eye and Harkness, dignified in his faded livery, made the "extra" table in the conservatory as Christmasy as he could, with a heart heavy with doubt as to the "fitness" of Missy's whims. Robin, in her Madonna blue dress, looked very small in the stately drawing room.
I'm sure I can't get it out of my mind for a moment. I keep seeing them as they passed by that last afternoon. Nurse was a bit vexed with them missy's frock was torn and " "Yes," interrupted Grandmamma Grandpapa seeing her occupied had at last made up his mind to open his newspaper "Yes, I was thinking of that.
As the minutes went by, her strain of suspense gradually lessened. Rev. MacGill was chatting away easily about the delicious chicken-stuffing and quince jelly, and the election, and the repairs on the church steeple, and things like that. Now and then he caught Missy's eye, but his expression for her was exactly the same as for the others no one could suspect there was any secret between them.
Just as she was about to speak Sylvia's name the sound of approaching footsteps startled her, and, sure that she would be sent on shore by whoever might discover her, she looked about for a hiding-place, and the next instant she was curled up under the very seat on which Sylvia was asleep. It was not long before Estralla followed her missy's example.

"Growing girls get that way sometimes," commented Missy's mother gently. "H'm!" commented Aunt Nettie, as if to say, "What's THAT to do with it?"

Still no doubts concerning her own personal get-up had clouded Missy's mind. And the dark Stranger was certainly regarding her with a look of interest in his indolent eyes.
The language of Love... Missy's thoughts drifted off to ponder the kind of language the army officer used to Miss Smith; Uncle Charlie to Aunt Isabel... She came back to the tale of La Beale Isoud. Alas! true love must ever suffer at the hands of might.
I made a bargain for missy's hand, and I mean to have it too." "That, by the way," said I. "I understand. But how will Mr. Huddlestone take my intrusion?" "Leave that to Clara," returned Northmour. I could have struck him in the face for his coarse familiarity; but I respected the truce, as, I am bound to say, did Northmour, and so long as the danger continued not a cloud arose in our relation.
