Then just as precipitately as he had bolted to his room he began suddenly to hurl himself into his riding-clothes, yanking out a bureau drawer here, slamming back a closet door there, rummaging through a box, tipping over a trunk, yet in all his fuming haste, his raging irritability, showing the same fastidious choice of shirt, tie, collar, that characterized his every public appearance.
Do you suppose I'm going to give all Beldingsville a chance to see how I 'take it'?" "Oh, auntie, they'd never be there in THAT spirit," protested Pollyanna, hurriedly rummaging in the black bag for the much-wanted veil. "Besides, there won't be anybody there, anyway, to meet us. We didn't tell any one we were coming, you know." "Yes, I know. We didn't TELL any one to meet us.
Feeling chilled after dressing, I thought that a cup of wine would do me no harm, so I came down to see what I could find.
