There is no sponge fishery in Rosnacree Bay. There never has been. Miss Rutherford, so to speak, intercepted Priscilla's wink. "By sponges," she said, "I mean " "Won't you sit down?" said Priscilla. She picked her stockings from the gunwale of the boat, leaving a clear space beside Miss Rutherford. "Bother!" she said, "the dye out of the purple clocks has run. That's the worst of purple clocks.
"I'm afraid," said Miss Rutherford, when Priscilla left them, "that your cousin doesn't believe me about the sponges." Frank felt deeply ashamed of Priscilla's behaviour. The prefect in him reasserted itself now that he was in the presence of a grown-up lady. He felt it necessary to apologise. "She's very young," he said, "and I'm afraid she's rather foolish. Little girls of that age "
I'll wait here till Priscilla's ready to come to me. I'm sorry to bring you out of the dance and make myself troublesome." "Why, you'll be more comfortable here by yourself," said the artful Godfrey: "I'll leave you here till your sister can come." He spoke in an indifferent tone. That was an agreeable proposition, and just what Nancy desired; why, then, was she a little hurt that Mr.

Now, as if the same lightning flash which had illuminated the beribboned diploma in Miss Priscilla's mind had passed to Virginia also, the girl bit back a retort that was trembling on her lips.

From the arm-chair by the fireplace he heard Priscilla's deep voice. "Tell me, Mr Barbecue-Smith you know all about science, I know " A deprecating noise came from Mr. Barbecue-Smith's chair. "This Einstein theory. It seems to upset the whole starry universe. It makes me so worried about my horoscopes. You see..." Mary renewed her attack.
With the whole of the wide sea for you to choose out of was there no place that would do you except just the one place where the lady happened to be standing?" Priscilla's reproaches were sharper and less broadly philosophic in tone. "Why didn't you luff when I told you?" she said. "Didn't I say you were to keep up to windward of Jimmy Kinsella's boat?
