Marjorie glimpsed, in passing, the same wealth of colorful leaf and bloom she had so greatly admired when driving through the pretty town the previous autumn. "No signs of them yet," Leila made reply. "I am not grieving. I am wondering if they will be at the Hall again this year. Miss Remson doesn't want them; that I know.
Partly curiosity and partly a foreboding of harm to Vicky Van, made me rush forward. Mrs. Reeves had screamed, and I ran the length of the hall to the dining room. There I saw Somers on the floor, and Remson bending over him. "He's killed! He's stabbed!" cried Mrs. Reeves, clutching at my arm as I reached her. "Oh, what shall we do?"
Doctor Matthews would not mention it if he happened to meet Miss Remson. That's not his way." "Glad to hear it. It lifts a weight from my mind. I've only one more year at Hamilton after this. My father expects me to be graduated with honor. He would never forgive me if I were to be expelled from Hamilton at this late date." Leslie was moved out of her usual indifferent pose.
Lucy's greenish eyes turning themselves on her in astonishment, Marjorie laughed, then went on to relate the circumstances. Lucy listened with the profound interest of a wise young owl. "What do you think of him?" she asked reflectively, when Marjorie had finished. "Does he seem the kind of man that would do a person an injustice? I'm thinking of Miss Remson now."
Some of these were asked to testify at the inquest, but more were not so called on, as their testimony was in no way material or vital. I did not propose to attend all the sessions, myself, but I wanted to hear the opening queries and learn just how the case was to be managed. Doctor Remson told of his examination of Mr.
The coroner was summoned, and we were all for the moment under detention. "Where is Miss Van Allen? Where is the lady of the house?" asked Mason. "Where are the servants? Who is in charge here?" Was ever a string of questions so impossible of answers! Doctor Remson told the main facts, but he was reticent. I, too, hesitated to say much, for the case was strange indeed. Mrs.
"The writer has put a certain amount of force in it which passes for sincerity." "It reads as though she had been informed that Miss Remson was going to turn the Sans down and was honestly sore over it." Jerry added her speculation to Ronny's. "It is too bad!" exclaimed Helen Trent, indignantly. "I mean for you, Miss Remson.
Once more in the genial atmosphere which always pervaded Silverton Hall, the petty worries and annoyances of the past week fell away from Marjorie. She entertained a momentary regret that she had not chosen Silverton Hall as a residence in the beginning. She and her chums would have found life so much pleasanter there. Then the face of kind little Miss Remson rose before her.
Ronny said I must do whatever my conscience dictated. I felt that I did not wish to have anything to do with their leaving the Hall. If Miss Remson wins or has won her point against them, that's different. Last March, before we held the meeting in the living room, it seemed as if I could not endure being under the same roof with them. That feeling passed away. They were so utterly defeated.
Will you not take up the matter summarily with her and see that we obtain justice? "Yours sincerely, "Joan Myers." A united gasp arose as Miss Remson finished the reading of Joan Myers' letter and laid it on the desk. "Can you beat that?" inquired Jerry, in such deep disgust everyone laughed. "Of all the cast-iron, nickle-plated nerve, commend me to the Sans." "Outrageous!"
