Then she cringed as she felt it again. How had It got in there? The realization that she must have torn her pepper-and-salts, for a breath brought embarrassment acutely to the fore; then, as that tickling promenade over her anatomy was resumed, she froze under paramount fear. "For Pete's sake!" shouted Arthur. "Don't just stand there! can't you do SOMETHING?" But Missy could do nothing.
One of the pepper-and-salts did speak nicely, and so did one of the new people quite a youngish person; but they all had such a lot of words, when it would have done just as well if they had simply said that of course our side was the right one because trade was good when we were in, and that there are much better people Conservatives than Radicals.
After breakfast this morning most of the new people went, and the Duke and the pepper-and-salts; Lady Carriston drove Lady Garnons over to see her Idiot Asylum. They were to lunch near there, so we had our food in peace without them, and you would not believe the difference there was!
She realized there was something inconsistent in her explanation. Mother had accused her of immodesty: riding astride and wearing those scandalous pepper-and-salts and showing her legs. If mother was right, if she WAS brazen, somehow it didn't tie up to claim confusion because her Oh, legs! She didn't try to explain. With hanging head she went meekly to her room.
I shan't waste any of my best frocks here, so I made Agnès put me on the old blue silk for the evening. She was disgusted. At dinner I sat between Charlie and one of the pepper-and-salts he is a M.P. They are going to shoot partridges to-morrow; and I don't know what we shall do, as there has been no suggestion of our going out to lunch.
I would not have shirts that did not fit if I were a Duke, would you? They are all staying here for the Conservative meeting to-morrow evening at Barchurch. These three pepper-and-salts are shining lights in this county, I have gathered. Lady Carriston seems very well informed on every subject. It does not matter if she is talking to Mr. It is no wonder she can see her children's thoughts!
That heavy sense of injustice somewhat deadened any pricks of guilt when, later, she stealthily removed the pepper-and-salts from the upstairs store-closet. But Aunt Nettie's eagle eyes chanced to see her. She went to Mrs. Merriam. "What do you suppose Missy wants of those old pepper-and-salt pants?" "I don't know, Nettie. Why?" "She's just sneaked 'em off to her room.
Allen's Kitty said she was. So he won't need the pepper-and-salts." "But what do you want with a pair of PANTS?" Aunt Nettie put in. Missy wished Aunt Nettie had been invited out to supper; Aunt Nettie was relentlessly inquisitive. She knew she must give some kind of answer. "Oh, just for some fancy-work," she said.
