Mary nodded, but as no lecture followed the confession she put her head on one side and looked up into Paula's face with large roguish eyes. "And yet you have been crying! a great girl like you?" "I I crying?" "Yes, crying. I can see it in your eyes. Now confess: what has happened?" "You will not scold me?" "Certainly not." "Well then.
He had taken with him, in the first instance, only the most valuable and important of his manuscripts, and as he was placing these in a small desk the very same which Rufinus had left for Paula's use Horapollo found in it the note which the youth had hastily written when, after waiting in vain for Paula as she sat with little Mary, he had at last been obliged to depart and take leave of Amru.
If I care to buy a Bible, it's no one else's business." But there was trouble in Paula's eyes as she said, "I would certainly like to have a Bible, but uncle has forbidden me to read it. I can see from what you say that it would be easy for you to buy another and read it yourselves, but my uncle has prohibited me and that settles it. I simply can't be a hypocrite and deceive him.
They chose the house to be near her for that reason, and because Isabella had told Richard that if he came to look for her he would find her in Seville, and her cousin, the nun of St. Paula's, would tell him where: he had only to ask for the nun who had the best voice in the convent; every one would know her by that description.

It was not in Paula's nature to think ill of others; but in this case her candid spirit, incapable of falsehood, would not suffer her to be anything but cool to the child; the more effusively Katharina clung to her, the more icily Paula repelled her.
When the family met at table he made Paula's excuses; he himself ate only a few mouthfuls, for the judges had assembled some time since and were waiting for him.
Under these circumstances he scarcely owed the young man a grudge for placing himself at the service of his Byzantine friends; still, his not coming to the house disturbed and vexed him, less on his own account, or that of the good cause, than for Paula's sake, for her feelings towards Orion had remained no secret to him or his wife.
It didn't often happen that any one was as entirely to blame for a calamity to some one else as Mary was for this volte-face of Paula's. She did not run away altogether. It was nearly eight o'clock before he came and Paula, who was momentarily expecting John's arrival by then, was in an agony of impatience to sign his papers and get him out of the house again.
