In a suburban villa, at Shepherd's Bush, perhaps. No, Reg, when I marry, if ever I do I am in no hurry I will step out of this room into one exactly like it. The room was a splendid drawing-room in Palace Gardens, splendidly furnished. 'I shall have my footmen and my carriage, and I shall 'Rosie, give me the right to earn all these things for you! the young man cried impetuously.
Conly "men, women, and children from all parts of the world, clad in their own odd, native attire; Chinese, Japanese, Dahomeyans, Nubians, wild Arabs, Persians, Soudanese, Algerians, Javanese, and Cingalese." "And some of the buildings are as singular in appearance as the people who occupy them," added his wife. "Let us visit the village and castle of Blarney," said Rosie.
She had a presentiment of coming ill, painfully heightened by her consciousness that the kitchen was "riding out," and that she and her family rode with it. Rosie came running back from her peephole, husky with importance. The errant buttons did not trouble her. She had an eternity of time wherein to pick them up; and, indeed, the chances were that some tall, benevolent being would do it for her.
For, of course, one must stand by a father, no matter how bad he was, she argued. Elizabeth's position was a difficult one, and she was vastly relieved when the matter was dropped, and she and Rosie, with Eppie and Susie as their opponents, played puzzle during school hours and tag during recess, as of yore. But all outside affairs of whatever moment would soon have been forgotten in any case.
Chumpleigh’s health will be perfect.” “Well, perhaps, it’s just as well if he goes,” Rosie said sensibly; “we haven’t done a bit of work since he came.” On Sunday the weather moderated a little. Mr. Chumpleigh bore a most melancholy look all the afternoon as if he feared what was to come. What was worse, he lost his nose. Monday morning, Maida ran to the window dreading what she might see.
"Then I may tell I!" cried Rosie; and hardly waiting for her sister's nod of acquiescence, went on. "She is preparing such a nice surprise for dear mamma, Captain Raymond, a miniature of papa which she has been painting on ivory. I think it looks more like him than any photograph or painted portrait that we have. And I am sure mamma could not have a more acceptable present.
"Sure, we will come to dinner, Mawruss," Abe said, "but if we want to go for a ride, Mawruss, a trolley car is good enough for Rosie and me."
They returned home, a very happy set of children, except, in Lulu's case, when memory recalled the passionate outburst of the early part of the week with its dire consequences: that remembrance would be a sore spot in her heart, and a bitter humiliation, for many a day, probably for the rest of her life. Rosie was on the veranda awaiting their arrival.
Maida often stopped her own work on the paper things to watch Arthur’s. It was a constant marvel to her that such big, awkward-looking hands could perform feats of such delicacy. Her own fingers, small and delicate as they were, bungled surprisingly at times. “And as for the paste,” Maida said in disgust to Rosie one day, “you’d think that I fell into the paste-pot every day.
I wouldn't swap him for any other body's brother that ever I saw; no not even for all the nice brothers that Rosie has." "Neither would I," said Grace, "though I'm fond of them all." "Papa, when is it that we are going to see Max?" queried Lulu. "Some time in January I know you said, but will it be to spend New Year's with him?"
