She took in the scene at a glance; numbers of girls making themselves at home in Priscilla's room, some seated on her trunk, some on her bureau, several curled up in comfortable attitudes on her bed and she herself standing, meek, awkward, depressed, near one of the windows. "How tired you look, Miss Peel!" said Nancy Banister. Priscilla smiled gratefully at her.
"Why, it isn't as long as Priscilla's or mine, but Adelaide is one of the leading characters. She couldn't possibly be left out." "I didn't mean that. I was only going to suggest " Elaine hesitated, with a little of her old-time shyness. "I was only going to say that if you couldn't do any better, I'd take the part." "Take the part?"
She beckoned to Anna and Henry Stevens to stand by her, and then, with tear-blinded eyes, the old minister married them for eternity! Outside the door Priscilla's class of Slabtown boys stood with some roses and hollyhocks they had thought to bring for her wedding or her funeral, they hardly knew which. They were all abashed at the idea of entering the house. "You go in, Bill," said one.
Priscilla's back was turned to Huntter; her face was quivering. "Negative virtues! Had I been a brute you would have gone. I might have had the night nurse for twenty-four hours. I dared not run the risk of letting you go." "I've come out pretty well in your estimation? That's a feather in my nice, white cap," she said. "I wonder why I care what you think of me?"

Can you imagine what is the matter with her?" "No; unless," said I, "she has the gift of hearing those 'airy tongues that syllable men's names, which Milton tells about." From whatever cause, Priscilla's animation seemed entirely to have deserted her.
Now that especial broth was a delicious compound of Priscilla's compounding, and Winslow knew no more of its recipe than you or I do, nor were any materials such as should go to the making of white man's broth at hand.
It is a painful part to play. He found it exquisitely painful, and vainly sought comfort in the consolation that it had been Priscilla's omelette. The consolation proved empty, and for a long while he suffered every sort of torment known to the sensitive. But he got over it. People do. They will get over anything if you give them time, and he being young had plenty of it.
Abstract right was less to him than expediency and he missed the point of the comparison between his position and King Solomon's. He thought it better that his baby should suffer than that Miss Lentaigne's anger should be roused. He declined Priscilla's offer. Near the upper end of Rosnacree avenue there is a corner from which a view of the lawn is obtained.
The negroes were very ungrateful people and property should be held sacred by all belligerents. At this point he caught Miss Priscilla's eye, and was transfixed with conscious guilt. I had, meantime, been infringing upon Miss Bessie's feet, very pretty feet they were! which expressive but not very refined method of correspondence caused her to blush to the eyes.
