There's a fine preparation for the cloister!" He turned to Giuliana. He put forward his hand and touched her bare shoulder with his hideous forefinger. She cringed under the touch as if it were barbed. "There is not the need that you should render yourself his preceptress," he said, with his deadly smile. "I do not," she replied indignantly. "Agostino has a taste for letters, and..." "Tcha!
He became hungry and despite the fact that his preceptress had forbidden "talking out loud" declared that he wanted something to eat. "Wait a bit," answered the teacher. "We will have recess by and by." "Is recess something to eat?" he asked. This question produced a titter, and the insubordinate youngster was again told he must not talk. After awhile he became accustomed to school and liked it.
The newspapers had a great deal to say about the departure of the Preceptress' daughter on so uncertain a mission, and to that strange land of barbarians which I represented. When the day arrived for our departure, immense throngs of people from all parts of the country lined the shore, or looked down upon us from their anchored air-ships.
Goodness! how does one person ever get a sheet smooth on a bed?" Helen came to help her, and just then Mrs. Tellingham herself appeared in the hall. "I am glad to announce, girls," she said, with some cheerfulness, "that the fire is under control." "Oh, goody!" cried Heavy. "Can we go over there to sleep to-night?" "No. Nor for many other nights, if at all," the preceptress said firmly.
She discovered, too, that she was actually saving time in not having to hunt for anything. Mrs. Schuyler, the preceptress, generally looked in upon the rooms while the girls were at class. She was a dainty little widow, with a manner which she supposed to be pleasant and ingratiating but which the girls termed monotonously servile.
"You think she will exercise a helpful influence?" "She will exercise a civilizing I may call it a sobering influence. A charming, clever, witty woman always does especially if she is a little of a coquette. My dear uncle, the society of such women has been half my education. If Clifford is suspended, as you say, from college, let Eugenia be his preceptress." Mr. Wentworth continued thoughtful.
So it was very cool for a time in the august cavern of conference where Anson Anstruther, a bright Ithuriel, struggled with the cautious and covetous Swiss preceptress, and the swift steamer Chilian was far up the lake before Captain the victorious Honorable Anson Anstruther, sped away to the morning meeting with the woman who had seemed to lean down from the moon-lit skies upon her young Endymion in that starry night by the throbbing lake.
Davison yes," the Preceptress said, in some surprise. "They have equally charged themselves with her expenses at Briarwood if she can remain here. You know her, of course?" "Helen and I have talked of her almost every day, Mrs. Tellingham," said Ruth warmly. "She is very quick and sharp. And she is much improved in disposition from what she used to be."
They had loved as I had loved, and sinned as I had sinned, and suffered as I had suffered. I wept for the first time since my entrance into Mizora, the bitter tears of actual experience, and endeavored to convey to the Preceptress some idea of the painful emotion that possessed me.
"So much the better," Sherringham duly answered; but he asked no questions and was glad to let the preceptress and the pupil fight it out together. He wanted for the moment to know as little as possible about their ways together: he had been over-dosed with that knowledge while attending at their second interview.
