The tents are alike, and she mistook ours for hers." The mention of Harry's name brought a gleam of reason to the distracted girl's face, and springing to her feet apparently now forgetful of Nellie's presence she begged Joe to take her from the tent to Harry. Not for a moment did she appear to realize the dreadful mistake she had made.
So without considering that Mabel was not to blame, he ridiculed her unmercifully, calling her "a bundle of medicine," and making fun of her thin, sallow face, which really appeared to great disadvantage when contrasted with Nellie's bright eyes and round, rosy cheeks.
The ancestor from whom the house had descended must have been a learned man in his day, and a wise, for he had gathered about him treasures. Danby shouted with delight, and Nellie's eyes sparkled as she saw his pleasure. "Open all the windows, nurse, please, and then leave us. Why, Nellie, there is enough learning here to make you the most wonderful woman in the world!
In Nellie's heart was such a joy that words would not come to her lips. She felt she must be asleep, and would awake to find it only an unsubstantial dream. But Stephen's arm around her, and his strong presence near, assured her that it was a blessed reality. They found Mr. Westmore sitting alone in his little room, reading by the shaded lamp.
They might be sisters, only Nellie's naturally more self-reliant and determined and has had a hard life of it, while she" nodding at the miniature "had been nursed in rose-leaves up to the time it was taken." "I don't see just where the likeness comes in," said Ned, trying to analyse the portrait. "It's about the eyes and the mouth particularly, as well as a general similitude," explained Connie.
"Well," Edward Henry, piqued, made another attempt, "you stamp a fire out with your feet." And he stamped illustratively on the floor. After all, the child was only eight. "I knew all that before," said Robert, coldly. "You don't understand." "What makes you ask, dear? Let us show father your leg." Nellie's voice was soothing. "Yes," Robert murmured, staring reflectively at the ceiling.
And Ellis didn't at first he was too timid and awkward really not at all like himself. However, Miss Nellie soon made him talk, and they got quite friendly and curt with each other. Curious thing Ellis never notices women's clothes; very interested in his own, and in other men's, but not in women's! So I expect Nellie's didn't make much impression on him. But truly they were stylish.
Of course the mother had been told that the long delayed boat had been sighted, and now, how anxiously she awaited more news of Nellie's father. "We must not worry," she told Nellie, "for who knows but the storm may really help father's boat to get into port?"
"By the way, Tom, who was that other girl?" asked Grace pointedly. "What other girl?" "The girl Dick was talking to here on the grandstand." "Oh, that was the farmer's daughter we helped when we first came to Ashton. Her name is Minnie Sanderson. We told you about her." "She seems to think a good deal of Dick," was Nellie's comment.
Why, lad, what a blessing it is to us all that it happened when it did! for if that fire had been but a month earlier, you would probably have gone away with the Earl, and we should have known nothing of Nellie's peril until we found that she was gone."
