They were objectionably apologetic about it, and they seemed to think NOW we were going to have a 'good time' to make up for it.

"But, Mary," her mother began, "is is " And she seemed unable to complete the question. "Never mind, mamma. I'll say it. Is Mr.
These two drawings she presented at a public meeting to Doctor Thompson, the leader of the movement. Fifty years afterwards she met Mrs. Thompson, who said she still had the pictures and thought them "very beautiful." In spite of her indifference to study she was very precocious, and learned to read at what was considered by her parents' friends as an objectionably early age.
On her return she found that her niece had taken off her hat, and was leaning back in her chair, sticking hat-pins through the crown with smiling complacence.

As she had been with us from the time we were born, she was very familiar, and sometimes objectionably so; but I would not let her have her own way with me, though, and I used to answer her back in most cutting fashion. She took her revenge in the evening by giving us a dish of sweets for dinner that I did not like.
