"I hardly knew you, Miss Sampson," she said. "How very well you are looking! But you must be having quite a holiday." The condescending tone did not appear to irritate Rhoda. She answered pleasantly; there was even a twinkle deep down in her dark eyes as she met Pauline's glance. It was Rose who felt irritated.
The four windows of Pauline and Olivia's sitting-room were up; a warm, scented wind was blowing this way and that the strays of Pauline's red-brown hair as she sat at the table, her eyes on a book, her thoughts on a letter Dumont's first letter on landing in America. A knock, and she frowned slightly. "Come!" she cried, her expression slowly veering toward welcome.
"But you I don't quite understand how any one can be so changed, yet recognizable. I guess it's the plumage. You're in a new edition an edition deluxe." Pauline's dressmakers were bringing out the full value of her height and slender, graceful strength. Her eyes, full of the same old frankness and courage, now had experience in them, too.
But a glance at Pauline's perfectly beautiful face explained the mystery. How could anyone help loving her, she was so radiant and so winning in her unaffected artlessness? Beulah conjectured that they might, perhaps, entertain each other without her assistance, and soon left them for the greenhouse, which was connected with the parlors by a glass door.
A few moments after Pauline's departure Louis Wrentz and his companions set to work. Two of the men left the room and sauntered to opposite ends of the hall where they lingered on watch. Wrentz and the other man stepped out briskly and each with a screwdriver in his hand began unfastening the number-plates over the doors of rooms 22 and 24.
"That is a photograph of Ada Cameron, a friend whom I met this summer up in Marwood," said Pauline. "Ada Cameron! She must be Ada Frame's daughter, then," exclaimed Mrs. Knowles in excitement. Then, seeing Pauline's puzzled face, she explained: "Years ago, when I was a child, I always spent my summers on the farm of my uncle, John Frame.
Poor Pauline's mind was running on a cheery bald little old gentleman in Java, and a mild little spectacled old lady, with knitting proclivities, in England, whose chief solace, in a humble way, was an elderly female cat. "Am I never to see them again?" she added, as she sat down on a coral rock, buried her fair face in her hands, and wept. Dominick tried to comfort her, but in vain.
Its angularity was relieved by a porch with a flat roof that had a railing about it and served as a balcony for the second-story lodgers. There were broad halls through the middle of the house down-stairs and up. Olivia and Pauline had the three large rooms in the second story on the south side. They used the front room as a study and Pauline's bedroom was next to it.
He calls every evening about this hour. He must not meet you." "Never fear. It will be easy to keep out of his sight." The two friends then ascended to the sick room Pauline's own chamber. On the little bed lay the fine form of the young American soldier, stretched out at full length under snow-white coverlets.
He had gone to Rosiers, the house formerly occupied by Pauline's mother; and there, in a narrow lane, his body was found by some peasants coming home from market. The ball had so fearfully disfigured his face, that at first no one recognized him; and the accident made a terrible sensation. The countess heard of it first through her husband.
