Her soul had been satisfied this day, and no trifle could disturb her serenity. "Now what I want," said she, after a good deal of prefatory remark, "is for you to give me my will. I want to alter it." "But, madam," said young Bannister, when he had heard the alterations desired by Miss Panney, "is not this a little quixotic? Excuse me for saying so. Mr.
In her young days a lady of fashion would sometimes swear with great effect; and Miss Panney did not entirely give up any old fashion that she liked. Now, there being good reason for it, and no one in sight, she swore, and directed her abjurations against herself. Then her mind, somewhat relieved from the strain upon it, took in the humorous points of the situation, and she laughed outright.
I am only a cook, and I am much obliged to this good lady Miss Panic, I think is the name " "Panney," sharply interpolated the old lady. "Beg pardon, I am sure, Miss Panney for what she has said about me; but when I come to pay my respects to Mrs. Drane, I wish to do the same to the lady of the house."
Drane, the widow of a college professor, for several months, and when the family found they could no longer afford to keep a servant who could do nothing but cook, La Fleur returned to her relatives, and looked for another position; but not until I came, she said, had any one applied who was not in trade." "She must be an odd creature," said Miss Panney. "She is odder than odd," was the answer.
French cooking is the best in the world, and if you have an English cook to do it, then there is nothing more to be desired. It is like the French china, with the English designs, which they make now. I once visited their works, and was very proud of my countrymen." "The conceited old body," thought Miss Panney; but she said, "Very true, very true.
"Deal gently with the erring," said the doctor. "Don't crush me. I want to go to Cobhurst this morning, to see them all, and find out my fate. Wouldn't you like to go with me? I have a visit to make, two or three miles above here, but I shall be back soon, and will drive you over. What do you say?" "Very good," said Miss Panney. "I have been thinking of calling on the happy family."
Seated at a little table in the back room, with a cup of tea and some sandwiches before her, Miss Panney took more time over her slight meal than any previous customer had ever occupied in disposing of a similar repast, at least so the girl at the counter believed and averred to the colored man who did outside errands.
"She really did," was the answer. "Well, then," said Mike, "the long an' the short of it is, she lies. 'Tain't the fust time that old Miss Panney has done that sort of thing.
"I cannot imagine anything more inspiriting than driving with a pair of freshly broken horses." Miss Panney gave a little sniff. "That sort of thing," she said, "sometimes exalts one's spirit so high that it is never again burdened by the body; but all horses have to be broken, and people continue to live."
If you will come in or take a seat on the piazza, I shall be ready in five minutes." As Miss Panney busied herself preparing for the drive and the call, her mind was a great deal more active than her rapid fingers. She had been intending to go to Cobhurst, but did not wish to do so until she had decided what she should say to Ralph about the telegram she had sent him.
