Scherman, and those two little children, or two and a half, that makes all the to-do. Every girl they get makes the dinners more, and the Mondays heavier. Why, the family grows faster down-stairs than up, with a nurse for every baby! Think of the tracking and travelling, the wear and tear. Every one makes work for one, and dirt for two.
The earnest gaze of the dying soldier met more, perhaps, in its uplifting; for Frank Scherman had a look, in this instant of enacting, that he had never got before in all his practisings. The picture was too real for applause, almost, it suddenly seemed, for representation. "Don't I know that face, Noll?" General Ingleside asked, in a low tone, of his companion.
What, or who, is stewing, if you please, dear?" "Muffins. No! oysters. There! you sha'n't know anything about it till you go down to tea. But the millennium's come, and it's begun in our house." "I knew that, six years ago," said Frank Scherman. "There are exactly nine hundred and ninety-four left of it. I can wait till tea-time with the patience of the saints."
Impertinence! To think of the things I've said in my silliness to that woman, whose greatness I can no more measure! Why didn't somebody stop me? I don't answer for you, Frank, and I won't keep you; but I think I'll just stay where I am, and not spoil the significance!" "I'm content to rank beside you; we can climb together," said Frank Scherman.
"I like a little; all the rest Is somewhere; and our Lord knows best How the whole robe hath grace for them Who only touch the garment's hem." At the bottom, in small capitals, was the signature, BEL BREE. "I don't understand," said Bel, bewildered. "What is it? Who did it?" "It is a proof," said Mrs. Scherman. "A proof-sheet. And here is another kind of proof that came with it.
Kate took up her bag from the table. "We can find the room," she said, "if you will direct us." "Up three flights; two from the dining-room; the back chamber. You can stop at my room as you come down, and we will think about tea. Mr. Scherman will soon be home; and I should like to surprise him with something very comfortable." The girls found their way up-stairs.
"When you can earn money like this, of course I cannot expect to keep you in my kitchen," said Mrs. Scherman, answering her look. "I might never do it again in all my life," sensible Bel replied. "And I hope you'll keep me somewhere. It wouldn't be any reason, I think, because one little green leaf has budded out, for a plant to say that it would not be kept growing in the ground any longer.
Scherman; you'll be so far on your way to Holden's, and perhaps inertia will carry you through." But a little girl presently appeared, running from the hotel portico at the front, as they came round to view from thence.
She was sitting with her hands clasped across her knees, and her head a little bent with a downward look, after that long, wondering mountain gaze, that had filled itself and then withdrawn for thought. She lifted her face suddenly to her companion. The impetuous look was in her eyes. "There's other measuring too, Frank. What a fool I've been!" Frank Scherman was silent.
What a "howl" was, superlative to "tree-toading," "owl-hooting," and other divertisements, did not appear at this time; for a young man did, approaching from the front of the hotel, and came up to the group on the piazza with the question, "At what time do we set off for Feather-Cap to-morrow?" "Oh, early, Mr. Scherman; by nine o'clock."
