There entered into Miss Hoag's front room Miss Sidonia Sabrina, of the Flying-Fish Troupe, World's Aeronaut Trapeze Wonder, gloved and ringleted, beaded of eyelash and pink of ear-lobe, the teeth somewhat crookedly, but pearlily white because the lips were so red, the parasol long and impudently parrot-handled, gilt mesh bag clanking against a cluster of sister baubles.
The Sabrina had been gone ten days, when a weary, downcast-looking man entered Mr Abraham Oliphant's office. "Your name ain't Oliphant, is it?" he asked, doggedly. "Yes, it is," said Hubert, whom he was addressing. The man got up, and stared steadily at him for a minute. "It ain't him!" he muttered to himself.
You say, 'I won't give up till I've seen the apple-blows once more. I won't give up till I've got the rose-bugs off'n the vines. An' every night says you to yourself, 'I won't cry till to-morrow." Clelia rose heavily. "You're real good, Sabrina," she said. Then she added, in a shy whisper, "And I I won't ever tell." "You sit right down," returned Sabrina vigorously, rising as she said it.
Naming the new discovery Sabrina, Balleny resumed his northerly route without being able further to verify his discoveries. In 1837, just as Wilkes had started on his expedition, Captain Dumont d'Urville proposed to the Minister of Marine a new scheme for a voyage round the world.
Can you tell me where I can find him?" cried the digger, in great excitement. "I'm afraid you'll not find him at all, my friend," replied the merchant, "for he left the colony in the Sabrina for England ten days ago." The effect of this announcement on the poor man was tremendous. He uttered a violent imprecation, stamped furiously on the ground, while he ground his teeth together.
I was standing right here I O God!" There seemed to come suddenly over the sibilant Miss Sidonia Sabrina a quieting down, a lessening of twinkle and shimmer and swish. She moved slowly toward the huddle on the cot, parasol leading, and her hands crossed atop the parrot. "My God!" she said. "Will dead! Will dead! I musta had a hunch. God! I musta! All of a sudden I makes up my mind.
"I'd just as soon tell you," she said, with a broken hardness, a composure struggled for and then lost. "I'd just as soon anybody would know it. I don't feel as if I'd any use for myself, now he don't prize me. Well, Sabrina, he don't want me any more." "You sure, dear?" asked Sabrina. "You better be sure." "We got talking about the land," said Clelia, in a high voice. "The ten-acre lot?" "Yes.
I jumps ahead of the show. God! I musta had one of my hunches. That lookin'-glass I broke in Dayton. I I musta!" "It come so sudden, miss. It's a wonder I didn't die, too, right on the spot. I was standing here and " Suddenly, Miss Sabrina fumbled in the gilt mesh bag for her kerchief, her face lifting to cry. "He spun me dirt, Will did.
What if the wretched Bertha, finding in all the long hours no soul to turn to but by this time Lily's eager foot was on the side-ladder, and her first step on the Sabrina showed the worst of her apprehensions to be unfounded; for there, in the luxurious shade of the after-deck, the wretched Bertha, in full command of her usual attenuated elegance, sat dispensing tea to the Duchess of Beltshire and Lord Hubert.
But the most remarkable thing about her coming into the parish, was the change that took place in Christian names among us. Old Mr Hooky, her father, had, from the time he read his Virgil, maintained a sort of intromission with the nine muses, by which he was led to baptize her Sabrina, after a name mentioned by John Milton in one of his works.
