"Oh! isn't she sweet?" cried Terry. "What do you mean, Nonie?" "Where were ye before?" stammered Nonie. "Oh, miss," said the mother, laughing, "she wants to know where ye live, for she never seen the like o' ye before!" "We live over on the other shore, in a big house, Nonie; and I hope you will come to see us there. I'm sure Gran'ma will want you to come."
It's these abominations of tights. Nonie, I'd like to tell you something; it's very important, very." "You can't possibly tell it to me now, Boris," replied Nora; "don't attempt to come too near, disarranging my clouds. Oh, what a naughty, troublesome boy you are; you have trodden upon that piece of white tarlatan, and it has all got out of shape. Do run away; do leave me alone."
You're sure your mother is quite well, Nora?" "Yes." "And Molly?" "Yes, quite well." "And the young 'uns, Nell and Boris?" "Oh, they're well, only Nell frets a good bit." "Poor child, poor child; bless her, she's a loving little soul. I suppose Guy is awfully cut up, eh, Nonie?" "Oh, father, indeed he's not. Guy is too much of a man he's splendid, he is, really.
Niver mind, you won't dhress like this ten years to come. Kiss your friends an' run along to your mother." Nonie, set down close to the Married Quarters, nodded with the quiet obedience of the soldier's child, but, ere she pattered off over the flagged path, held up her lips to be kissed by the Three Musketeers.
"I know you'll be splendid about it, Guy darling," said Molly looking affectionately at her brother; "and now do you mind coming with me to the Grange, for, of course, poor Nonie must be told? We won't stay there long, for we must do what we can to help mother when she comes home." "Yes, I'll come with you," said Guy; "we'd best start at once, it's not too early."
Oh, if I had been at home you might have told me. I can't bear either you or father to have a burden that I don't share. I feel anxious and unhappy, but I will try very hard to be brave. Nonie is getting on so nicely, and Annie Forest is very kind to her.
"Sometimes unpleasant things have to be borne. It's no worse for you than for the others." "Oh, Nonie, Nonie," sobbed Molly, burying her head on her sister's shoulder; "it's this, it's this: Guy, you mustn't be cruel; remember she is weak. Nora, darling, we wouldn't tell you if we could help it, but you must know, because everyone else will know. The Towers is sold.
You see, with some old families like hers the stage but Nonie says her father couldn't even say anything to that if he wanted to. His own sister went on the stage once, and they had to hush it up in the papers." "Did you explain to her, Marcy, that stage life at its best can be full of fine ideals and truth? Did you make her see how regular your own little life has been?
Look at the heat-rash on the innocint skin av her. 'Tis hard crool hard even for us. Fwhat must it be for these? Wake up, Nonie, your mother will be woild about you. Begad, the child might ha' fallen into the ditch!" He picked her up in the growing light, and set her on his shoulder, and her fair curls touched the grizzled stubble of his temples.
