Her visit was the occasion of our exchanging civilities with our acquaintances, which we neglected when alone. Tea parties were always fashionable in Surrey. Veronica went with us to one, given by our cousin, Susan Morgeson. She had taken tea out but twice, since she was grown, she told us, then it was with her friend Lois Randall, a seamstress.
Elmira Sawyer turned white, and moved away. I threw my book at her; it hit her head, and her comb was broken by my geological systems. There was a stir; Miss Black hurried from her desk, saying, "Young ladies, what does this mean? Miss C. Morgeson, your temper equals your vulgarity, I find. Take your seat in my desk."
His offer quelled the rioters, silencing in particular the opposition of John Morgeson, father's father. In a month from this time, Locke Morgeson, Jr., took Mary Warren from her father's house as his wife.
I'd like to see them do it, though," she concluded, as if she felt that such an insult would infringe upon her rights. It was true. Locke Morgeson had been insolvent for five years. All this time he had thrown ballast out from every side in the shape of various ventures, which he trusted would lighten the ship, that, nevertheless, drove steadily on to ruin.
"It is not mine, you must remember." "Plague take the creditors! they know as well as I that you turned Surrey from a herring-weir into a whaling-port, and that the houses they live in were built out of the wages you gave them. I am thankful that most of them have water in their cellars." The day came. Alice Morgeson, and Helen with her baby, arrived the night before; and Ben and Mr.
I thought as you didn't seem to care about any regular hour for dinner, and made us all wait, I needn't be particular; besides, I am not the waiter, you know." She had set on the dishes used in the kitchen. I pulled off cloth and all the dishes crashed, of course and sat down on the floor, picking out the remains for my repast. "What will Mr. Morgeson say?" she asked, turning very red.
Locke Morgeson sounded familiarly, he said; a member of his mother's family named Somers had married a gentleman of that name. He remembered it from an old ivory miniature which his mother had shown him, telling him it was the likeness of her cousin Rachel's husband. I replied we knew that grandfather had married a Rachel Somers.
"To-morrow will do, Desmond." "To-day will do." "Desmond," said Ben in a low voice, "you do not see Mr. Morgeson and Miss Morgeson. My brother, Cassandra." "Beg pardon, good-morning"; and he pulled off his hat with an air of grace which became him, though it was very indifferent. Mrs. Somers in a soft voice said: "Ring, Des, dear, will you?"
"Miss C. Morgeson, we will call you," she said, in our first interview; "the name of Cassandra is too peculiar." "My Grandfather Locke liked the name; my sister's is Veronica; do you like that better?" "It is of no consequence in the premises what your sister may be named," she replied, running her eyes over me. "What will she study, Miss Warren?"
Cousin Charles was surprised and a little vexed that the doctor had never told him, when he must have known that he had been anxiously looking up the Morgeson pedigree; but the doctor declared he had not thought of it before, and that only the name of Locke had recalled it to his mind.
